Episode 149: Baofeng RD-5R Dual Band DMR Review

on September 10, 2018

Today we talk about the Baofeng RD-5R Dual Band DMR HT. I found it to be a decent radio, but lacking the features that we have seen in several other Dual Band DMR HTs.  The audio quality is good, and it is a true Tier 2 radio, but the contacts […] Read more »

Episode 148: Unboxing the TYT TH-350 Triband HT

New from TYT is a Triband HT Radio that includes 2-meters, 220MHz and 440MHz – which they have named the TH-350. This radio has a very basic menu and only holds 128 channels in memory, but it acts and feels pretty solid.  Audio reports on some local 440 repeaters have […] Read more »

Episode 147: August 2018 Updates

Episode 146: BTECH U25D Amplifier Debut

From BaofengTech, a 25-watt amplifier that will also handle TDMA for DMR transmissions.  Use your HT in the car, with an external antenna, and reach out as far as a mobile radio.  In this video, I will do some power testing of this new unit. For purchase information, follow this […] Read more »

Episode 145: Kickstarter for the 2018 TAPR DCC

I’m honored to have been invited to travel to Albuquerque this year and attend the TAPR Digital Communications Conference. In previous years, Gary KN4AQ from HamRadioNow has recorded this conference, but he has stepped back from recording Ham Radio videos.  So this year, I have scheduled a trip to ABQ […] Read more »

Episode 144: Debut of the Hytera AR482G DMR HT

A special thanks to Terry, NX7R, for loaning me this radio to test.  You can find the Hytera AR482G  and other radios at his website – www.TTGCommunications.com This Hytera radio is made for Amateur use, unlike lots of the commercial-grade DMR radios out there today.  This radio is along the quality of […] Read more »

Episode 143: FCC Emcomm Forum from Hamvention 2018

This was the only forum that I recorded at this year’s Dayton Hamvention.  Bart, N3GQ, allowed me to record this video and it provided some good insight on Emergency Communications information from the perspective of the FCC and other governmental agencies.  It is well worth watching. The audience was offered […] Read more »

Episode 142: RadioID.net Updates with VE9GLN

With the recent update of RadioID.net and Ham-digital.org to take over the DMR Subscriber database from DMR-MARC, I thought it would be a good idea to get an interview with the owner of the site, and some insight into what has been transitioned, how the current system works, and what […] Read more »

My name is Jason, callsign KC5HWB. I started this Video Podcast in 2014 and named it 'Ham Radio 2.0' because I wanted to focus on the next steps for Amateur Radio.
This series has grown beyond my original expectations and it is time to take it to the next level. Watch for upcoming updates to this series and the direction it will be going for 2017 and beyond.
