I Got SCAMMED! My Amazon Return Unboxing Was a JOKE

I’ve unboxed over MANY Amazon returned radios, and they’ve all been great… until today.

In this video, I reveal exactly how I got "taken" on a return deal. When I picked up the box, I knew something was wrong—it was just too light. What I found inside wasn’t a radio at all, but a 3D-printed mockup designed to trick the return system. This is a side of the "resell" game that people don’t often talk about: Amazon Return Fraud.

Watch as I walk through the vetting process, show you the fake 3D-printed rig, and explain why being an honest used gear seller means taking these hits so my customers don’t have to.

I Bought My First 3D Printer | Creator 5 Assembly & First Power-On

I finally bought my first 3D printer… and I know almost NOTHING about 3D printing.

In this video we unbox, assemble, and power-on the new FlashForge Creator 5 for the very first time. No fake expert energy here, just a real first-time setup experience from somebody coming from the ham radio, RV, and off-grid world.

👉 FlashForge Creator 5: https://flashforge.sjv.io/qWZZZO
👉 FlashForge Creator 5 Pro: https://flashforge.sjv.io/aNAdAj

This video focuses entirely on:
• Unboxing
• Physical assembly
• Hardware setup
• First power-on
• First impressions

No slicers, no software setup, no network configuration, and no “perfect benchy” nonsense yet. That comes later.

This is the beginning of a new off-grid 3D printing series where we explore what it takes to run modern fabrication tools from RV, battery, solar, and portable power systems… especially with pending legislation and growing interest in decentralized manufacturing.

If you’ve been curious about getting into 3D printing but felt intimidated by it, this series is for you.

Testing “Broken” Amazon Return Ham Radios! (Retevis RT95 #17)

Is the Retevis RT95 (AnyTone AT-778UV) actually worth the money, or are these Amazon Returns for a reason? Today, I’m digging into another "broken" RT95 mobile radio to see if they are actually defective or just misunderstood.

In this video, we perform a full bench test using the Surecom SW102, a 100W dummy load, and compare the power output against an ICOM ID-880H. We find some interesting "witness marks" from the previous owner (looking at you, Brandon!) and discover the truth about the 25-watt power claim.

What we cover:
👉 Power Testing: Does it actually hit 25W on VHF/UHF?
👉 Chirp Programming: Fixing band plan issues and permission errors in Linux.
👉 Factory Resets: How to fix the "Error Mode" on the VM button.
👉 The "Amazon Return" Gamble: What actually comes in the box?

Whether you call it a Retevis, an AnyTone, or a CRT Micron, this radio is a staple for budget-conscious hams. But does 16 Watts on 2-meters make it a deal-breaker? You decide.
