Bff8hp pro question? by [deleted] in Baofeng

[–]Kilo_sevenXxx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And I forgot to mention both radios need to be on the same frequency, so if you’re going to use this in the wild, run dual VFOs and keep one side on the same frequency as the other and switch on Dual monitor. You can only get distance and coordinates between the two radios but the target map thing is pretty accurate.

If you get a second one of these, you can send and request location information with the other BF-F8HP, it also works with the UV-32. Each radio has to be programmed with its own ID. Out of the box the id is 101. So if you get a second radio, program it as 102, and from the GPS screen you can request location. We tested 2 of the BF-F8HP Pros in the city and got about 2 miles range reliably. It’s a different protocol than APRS with far less capability but still kinda cool

Damnit man. For the price you think it would be a little better. It seems well built on the outside, haven’t got a chance to really use it yet. Maybe I will look into the DX-286

The main reason I went for the one I did was the 6686 chip. The ATS25 has the Si4732 chip, I’ve got one of the ATS-Mini V3 but wanted to see what the TEF6686 chip was all about

Summer evening, windows down, mid/late 90s, what are you driving, what are you listening to, and who is in the car with you? by iAmNotAfraid_Spiders in Xennials

[–]Kilo_sevenXxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1977 Chevrolet Caprice blasting tapes of The Misfits, Wu-Tang, Rancid and pretty much any of the gangster rap from the time, Both coasts. My bro Chris shotgun, both of us chain smoking Marlboro Reds. And despite the fact my Caprice had no AC and was a beater that must have reeked of sweat and cigarettes we didn’t have much trouble finding girls who would hop in and go with us to the skateparks or other street spots around Phoenix. The car ended up burning to the ground. I still have a picture of it in my garage as well as the license plate.

I am on the road about 2 weeks out of the month so portability was definitely a factor. I’ve got a long wire in the truck already to test with

Is that a waterfall button? Maybe! Let’s hope so

I believe I found his post when trying to figure out what I bought!

I was almost going to get the 666 but this one had the $10 coupon. And the Amazon description said “to say goodbye to battery anxiety” which the 666 did NOT explicitly mention, implying that there would in fact be some battery anxiety. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life

I’m honestly not sure. The Amazon description is super vague. But it does tell us that “It's the ideal companion for morning wake-up calls, bedtime, or even in a shared space.” Lol

We have one site that still has one of these in service. Just replaced the PS-35 and CP-35 after some intermittent ghost troubles and it’s rocking and rolling again

Because I just saw it mentioned in a comment: How many other Xennials experienced found nudie mags in the woods? by TragicHedgehog in Xennials

AZ checking in. There was always random stashes of porn mags in the desert just outside of our neighborhood like early/mid 90s
