N6DEZ here, been a ham since 1996, worked with Kenwood Land Mobile in Long Beach for 3 years, Yaesu / Vertex in Cerritos for 4 years, haven’t reall y got a chance to use DMR on the AIR, still using my Kenwood TK-380 on fleetsync conventional/truncking radio with my wife on the UHF bands. I am clearly new to the Ham world and haven’t got into DMR at all but am really excited to soon.
#DIGITAL RECEIVER RADIO SHACK FREE#
Now being 31 I have some free time, even with a 3 year and 1 year old running around the house (which i hope to get both of them into one day, to have a hobby. I would like to add that I would love to also win this radio! I have always had an interest in tech and when i was back in boys scouts always loved hanging out by the HAM shack at the summer camp, not sure why I never took the time to get my lic then but I didn’t. Out of the MD2017 & RT82 would you recommend one over the other or are they basically the same? I did also get a DMR ID which is 2124892 in preparation to getting a DMR. Recently I been looking at something like the TYT TH-9800 for my home but after watching many of your videos on all the TYT DMR radios I am thinking that going with DMR and using a SharkRF might be a good way to get on the air. Currently I have just a Baofeng UV-5R(have to start somewhere) and am finding out that I really can’t hit much from my home as I am too far from many of the repeaters, so I tend to use echolink. I have been really trying to find a good radio for myself that is still cost effective. I never had much of a childhood (still a little young), so, radio operating has been a refreshment.īeen checking out your channel for the last couple weeks since I got my Ham Lic in the end of Sept of this year. Winning a dual band DMR handheld would help me out a lot financially, practically, and, I’ve also been enjoying meeting and interacting with other people since I’ve become licensed. I still enjoyed being their at my first hamfest. I didn’t find any dual band DMR radios their, though. I did find a kind operator that took me to a recent hamfest, it was my first hamfest.
Also, considering I don’t drive, a handheld is valuable to me while I’m out. I want one radio for all interests, so, although the TYT MD-380 (just example) is affordable and nice, I use 2m and 70cm about the same. You may have seen me on your YouTube with interest of the Anytone 868UV. I’ve not gotten into DMR, yet, as I can’t afford a dual band handheld. I took the time to apply for a subscriber ID in advanced in hopes to get a DMR radio, ID is 3157213.
I’m a fairly new operator, KN4DNR, and, have been looking into DMR for a month or two.
