I upgraded to a dual MMDVM hotspot and it unlocked something most hams don’t even realize they’re missing: two time slots at once. In this video I show what that actually means in the real world, how TS1 and TS2 can run simultaneously, why single hotspots feel limiting once you see this, and whether a dual hotspot is actually worth it for your setup. If you’re into DMR, BrandMeister, talkgroups, or just want to get more out of your radio gear, this is the upgrade that changes everything.

This GMRS radio looked completely dead.
The screen was lit… but showing nothing. No text. No frequency. No life.

Most people would call it bricked.

In this video, I walk through how I diagnosed the problem, what actually failed inside the radio, and how I repaired the display so this Retevis RA87 GMRS mobile is fully working again and ready for a new owner.

This is the same QA and repair process I use on every radio before it ever goes up for sale.
If it doesn’t pass, it doesn’t ship. Simple as that.

If you’re into:
• GMRS radios
• Real repairs (not just unboxings)
• What “tested and verified” actually means
• Or how to avoid buying mystery radios online

…this one’s for you.
