Thanks for that info. I am up in the NTX area, so about 3 hours from Round Rock. But I do get down there sometimes so I will make a note of the meetup, in case I am around on one of those Saturdays.

I was introduced to your YT Channel via @M Rose. Excellent content and presentation style.

Would it be possible for you to do a YT video based on field testing radios during an overland trip? Similar to the video below? I would like to get your suggestions on a few radios suitable for overlanding via a convoy for maintaining comms.


Thank you,
Joe
