Alright, thank you very much. And may I tell you, these little radios are cool. I've had these things forever. Well, not forever, but for a long time. And I only ever programmed them for FRS. I programmed them with tones and stuff like that on the channels, but I programmed both of them identically. But I forgot that I had put my recorder into them. And that allows me to pick up one of these things. And they're so – I mean they've got to be decent on battery. They've got the same size battery as a Bofang UV-5 in them. Now I don't know how charged this one is, but I did find the rest of my handhelds. They were in on my dresser. So I did find them. But I like the 380. And I've had both of those batteries go dead just during the net this morning. And it went – both of them went dead. So I'm going to start using any of the other multiple options. There's more HDs here than you can shake a stick at. I'm not even joking. Like more than 10. Easily more than 10. And they all work. And they're all good. The ones I like the best are the UV-K5 and the 8811 because of the big color screen and the big loudspeaker in it. And those two radios charge with Type-C which is just excellent. You don't even need one of those little dock things. But the 380 I like – I don't know. I just got so used to using it. It's a nice tradeoff between Clear Sound on the transmit and Clear Sound on the receive. And it's just a compact radio. But these trip plates, I mean these things are palm-sized. I like it because if you're just using something for a repeater, you don't need a screen. You don't need a DTMF pad. And this thing doesn't have any of those things. It has what looks to be a volume knob and a channel selector and a PTT and a flashlight button. That's it. It doesn't really need to be anything else. But yeah, I don't know man. Looking at all these hard drives I've got here now, I've got a lot of frickin' internal SATA hard drives like those 7200 RPM outfits. I could be using all of those for backup too. Now that I've had this data crash, I've got to think about a backup for my backup. And I gave my dad one of the 2TB USB ones that I had. So I've still got a couple of those. And a lot of maybe 5 or 6 1TB desktop drives and a couple of 1TB laptop drives. I could backup all my data to those and just put them in a box and put them in my dresser. That way at least I paid up to be safe if I ever, you know.
