Well, I have no idea what you are talking about 😉
The Baofeng UV-5R is the most popular and has all of the necessary features and is relatively inexpensive. They are easy to program via the front panel (takes a while) or using the Chirp software (free download) a cable is required - Amazon has...
Well??? Let’s see??? Ummmm. Geeeeee. I guess, maybe, I just got one so that I could learn how to program it so I could program your Baofengs back before you knew how to do it. Yep. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it! I would never own one of those cheap radios (at least that I would admit...
Geek Alert
If you drop your Baofeng UV5R, the retainer clip that holds in the battery will most likely break. I just ordered a pack of 10 replacement clips. Let me know if you need one. I hope I won’t need all 10 of them.
Ohm my goodness.
WTF (What The Flux)?
Wire you thinking I would be amped up enough to ask this question?

Part two.

About a year ago I posted on this thread (page 35 #685) a circuit related to carjacking. With carjacking still out of control, I have updated the circuit to include an alarm if someone tries to start the vehicle without using the secret hidden momentary switch.
Components:

So, I’m waiting to get a haircut and the guy in the barber’s chair starts to tell this story. His son drove his high end Heep to the gym. When he was leaving he noticed this BMW was following him. As he drove the back roads of Fairfax $tation the BMW continued to follow him. When the son turned...

So, change your oil every 10k miles for the duration of the 60k mile warranty. At 60,001 miles the engine falls apart and it’s out of warranty. So, the dealership gets to rebuild/replace the engine at your expense or sell you a new car. So, what’s new? Marketing and money overrules/distorts the...
Just before I went out to cut the grass, I saw on the news that a 13 year old had been arrested by the DC cops for multiple armed car jackings. Disturbing! So, while I was cutting the grass, the techno-nerd-geek that lurks inside of me came up with an idea.
