#Temu isn’t all bad. Got this #Yaesu backpack πŸŽ’ for a crazy price of $13.00 USD. Might make it into a radio gobag. Has 5 pockets in different sizes with net pockets on the outside along with adjustable shoulder straps, a handle to carry along with padding to keep U cool.

Trying out a home made mast for an EnFed Antenna. It’s one of the 18foot fiberglass flag poles that you see with the flags for advertising in front of Buisnesses. Didn’t hear much but, it worked! NOTE: it’s not the streetlight πŸ˜‚

Sometimes a new antenna can make your radio feel new again.

Our club’s location for Field Day this year is at Brannan Island State Park. We’ve reserved the Group sites! There is an amazing amount of space for camping ⛺️ and set ups. If nothing else bring your fishing 🎣 gear. We’re right on the water. Where there is a small pier.

Picked up a #Vintage #Realistic TRC-28. 3 channel , crystal AM C.B. Walkie Talkie. It stands about 10 inches tall and is about 1 lb. All chrome front face. It came in pristeen condition. Not a scratch on it! It works too. It came out in 1975-77. Loving it! $25 off eBay.

Picked up an #Alinco DR-635 2M/440 Mobile/Base radio off Marketplace. Love how the function buttons light up. Great for in the car or night ops.

Well I β€œbricked” the UV-32!! πŸ₯²πŸ₯² it has Bluetooth in it to program. I was trying it out and hit something and well, it whiped out everything. I can’t get it to come out of VFO mode and it won’t transmit either, the only thing that works is GPS. There is no Reset either.

It says to go to β€œMenu 27”. There is no Menu 27. Tried another way and it didn’t work either.

Personalized my UV-32 ! Found a sticker maker on Etsy. $10. Works on the DM-32 also. Good quality it looks like it will stick a long time the Baofeng sticker was hard to get off. It came off though.

Couldn’t help it. Picked this #Alinco DJ-580 up off eBay. I’ve had the radio before but one time I forgot it was on the roof of my car and it ended up destroyed on the #GoldenGateBridge πŸ₯² after it fell off. So, far works well. Just need a new battery. πŸͺ«

Update on the DJ-580. It wouldn’t transmit on VHF plus some it’s setting were off. I found the directions on line and how to RESET. It worked! Now it’s working fine and I have put in a few repeaters with good signal reports. Plus it’s unlocked! And it picks up AIR and 800 MHz

A HAM friend had an extra DM-32 that he sold me. It’s Digital and Analog. I’ve been fooling around with it and have come to realize I don’t like it. Like the UV-32 much better. I’m not a digital guy so, not into it. The Analog is fine though. I don’t even talk on digital.

Picked up a #Baofeng UV-32. Transmits on 2M/220/440/GMRS/FRS/MURS/Buis/Marine. It has GPS and Bluetooth to program BUT the App suck gets 1/2 way while reading then crashes. Has a plastic holster but no way to secure the radio ,so if your running it will fall right out. 1/2
