HRN 531: Quansheng My Thirst for Another HT (Unboxing and Review)
East Coast Host Gary K4AAQ goes solo for this show, noting that he needs another HT like he needs another hole in his head. But, Prime Day and pressure from peers got him to part with a bit under $25.
Note that this review does NOT get into any of the aftermarket firmware options, and that seems to be what is getting everybody excited. That is a hot mess of options and confusion, and so maybe someday.

The most important Amateur Radio program on the Internet
It seems that the FCC is starting to look into GMRS repeaters linked over the internet. From their POV this is strictly not allowed. This is something that amateur radio operators don’t have to worry about.

Paul lives in an apartment with an outside balcony and wants to get in touch with the ham radio world! He is wondering if a MFJ 1788 Mag Loop antenna would allow him to get on the air from his balcony. Dave has just the antenna and setup for the job!

This is my EDC Bag for my go-to HT Ham Radio in 2024. Over the last year since I began carrying this bag, it has changed slightly – this is the latest rendition, at the time of this recording. Special thanks to @KM4ACK for this idea.
