internal antenna because it's all cellular, right? It's got a little nub sticks off the back of it. And so even their mobile units run on the cellular service, but then they do have other units done that have got VHS and UHS built into them. So you can do it a push to talk over cellular VHF and UHF in a HT. So they got a lot of left there to choose from....

South Stone Joel prices here are going to be a little different, but they're still fairly reasonable You know for what you get and you get your first year of service with it is like 42 bucks a year or something Canadian to renew it every year if you want to take the radio everywhere you go kind of thing But like it's whole Joel most of them have got Wi-Fi...

I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's not even one starting, but it'll be in 20 minutes or 19 minutes if there is. So catch that. I'm gonna go get something to eat. It's after 10 a.m. here already. So I'm just gonna get a snack and they're gonna hit the hay for tonight. Have a good one, man. If you're around early in the morning, check out the Cowa...

much here all the time. I've always got something connected and listening. RF radio, POC, it don't matter. There's always something turned on here or in my pocket when I'm out. So feel free to reach out man and feel free to use do drop in. Just check out some of the nets and stuff we've got. Check out our website if that's your thing. Facebook pages, all...

And apparently it covers pretty good, so lots of fun to be had, man, in this hobby, I tell you. I don't find much interest in clubs and stuff like that, and you know, in local stuff. But when it comes to the international stuff and the digital and the voice over IP linking, man, that's my wheelhouse right there. I just absolutely love it. I mean, even add...

Get you got it right, it's KD9ZGGZ, it's Kiggle Delta IX Zulu Golf Zulu Z Golf Z back to you. Hey Kiggle, what's the 9 Zulu Golf Zulu, there we go, we got it now. Nice to meet you, I hope to catch you for a darned-down vlog and 7-3. 7-3 to everybody evening enjoy your contact air which will be a 1xH clear on the 01xMT repeater yeah cool done I'm not sure...

With this you pull it out of the box you turn it on you're talking to someone within a minute and a half. It's crazy But yeah, like you say the digital stuff is not for everybody But man, it's absolutely mind-blowing if you're ever just driving past the house and just call out and see if I'm not I'm here and if I'm home and I'll just come out my driveway...

all the public ones and then if you're a ham they verify your call sign and then you get the ham network on it as well and you can get into do drop in or whatever that way but uh... pocket is a little different but it's kind of the same like it's pushed the talk over cellular it's full digital fully encrypted but it's get a different company that's all an...

The calls are over here. Keep up the lines. We'll go through with KZ9ZGG out of Wisconsin. I'll fill out Wisconsin. Thank you, Darrell, on that. And if you've got a second after the gentleman, let's just go, Kim. Tell me about the pop link side of it. Yeah, sure. Pop link is a different network altogether. You can't talk to one network from the other. The...

I've honestly expanded it, right? And it's just, it's mind blowing, but yeah, I've got two different push to talk over cellular networks here. I've got the, talk to me one that got the ham stuff built into it and the public stuff. And then I've got another one that's just public stuff. It's for a different network called Paclink. But it's all push to talk...

Yes, what I've got now is a handheld and the cool thing is it's got a hand radio network on it and we've got it linked to do drop in now so I can pick up this this POC radio to push the talk over cellular. I can key it up on channel 35 and it will come out over UHF on the XMT here. It's really cool man. We've got it all like bridged together. So I can be...

They look like system fusion radios with color screens on them. I mean, they're excellent. Fully configured out of the box, no repeaters, 34 country coverage right out of the box. So, I mean, if you travel, you can still talk back to your home base. It doesn't matter where you are in 34 countries, including all of North America. It's mind blowing. They've...

and how many you got. So you might want to talk to your company about it. I don't know what their paying high tech for repeater access, but this system is mind blowing, how good it is. And I could show it to you. And I don't know if your company uses multiple radios across the city for their different offices or anything like that. But let me just reset h...

In fact, he wants me to start eventually selling these radios for him as a Canadian distribution. My buddy of mine who's a ham owns the company and we can do it a lot cheaper than high tech can do it. Better radios with color screens on them, multi network. They roam on all of the cell phone networks right across North America. So the one that I've got he...

Yeah, I heard you talking about your network radio there and that. And they got commercial use for that too. I know high tech communications have a system with the go bus around here. They got these network radios aboard the buses. Of course they use the cell phone and towers to communicate with them for debase between vehicles. And you can even, you know...

neighborhood and pretty good i know complaints man does the college or you know about how i'm classified as legally blind but i can still see well enough to drive my bike and you know stuff like that i've been getting all up and then ride my quad up around here now for what almost six years and i love it and i've been pulled over twice and i'll be ever do...

on a trail in the woods where there's like very little people ever and you can just have fun riding around in the woods if you crack down a tree or two with your bike it doesn't matter you're just in the middle of nowhere so it is a lot of fun and even being legally blind I can still do that so I'm blessed man in that regard let me tell you because there'...

got different levels of sight, right? So mine is a little better than a lot, but I'm still classified as legally blind too. But back over to you, man. Yeah, I've been told I could do that same thing, but not even not driving no car though. I can see a little bit, just do that kind of stuff, but not driving a car. They wouldn't let me do that. No, me neith...

push to talk over cellular that I'm talking about, feel free to check that out too. And you can get to do dropping through that, those radios as well. So if you can see enough to use a radio, like if you can look at it, press a few buttons and switch channels and stuff, like open a menu and like go up and down with arrow keys and switch channels, you won'...

you'll need to do down your way but if I can answer any questions for you or help you like that I'm only more than happy to man. We're a pretty friendly bunch here on do drop-in. Like you say our morning net sometimes we can talk about controversial stuff on there but all the nets throughout the rest of the day is just regular old ham radio nets where you...

If you have any issues, you're not the only Chinese company. It's all American and their hands. The people you're going to deal with are going to be hands. Yeah, I've been trying to get, like I was just telling you, I've been trying to get certain things set up. And people have some people that help put me around here. And they're ham-rate uppers, but one...

to charge it up or drop it in the little charger and you're off to the races man. It's really cool. Yeah, I'll be looking into that. Does he have a YouTube channel or does he have a YouTube channel also? Yes, just search, talk to me, USA. That's the name of the company. They've got a bunch of videos on YouTube showing some of these radios. The standard pl...

He tests everything personally. So when you get something, it's very well tested. The radio that I use, like you say, the standard plus is fantastic. It's great. If you can read the screen on a regular HT or something, you'll have no trouble reading the screen on this. The font size is fairly big. It's like 12 point maybe, 13, 14 point for some stuff. And...

It's going to get bigger as time goes on. The network is just going to keep growing. So I get in on it pretty early. And there's like a few dozen of us that are around there now. And so there's usually someone to talk to. And if there's no one on the hand channels, switch over to the public channels. There's always someone over there. So you'll find lots...

Alright, I just sent you that email. So that is in your email I'd say by now. So you can check that out. And if it's something you're interested in, I'd say jump on it. It's really cool. It's kind of like what DMR was like 12 years ago when people barely knew about it. But it's really taken off with HAMS and it's all digital and it's really nice and easy...
