Joe Pasqua<p>I'm part of a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> (<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ham</span></a>) testing team and we got a bunch of people their licenses (or license upgrades) today. The most exciting was a 10-year old who passed her Technician exam and was smiling ear to ear about getting on the airwaves with her dad. Man, that kind of enthusiasm and joy is infectious.</p><p>Made my day.</p>

I hear it's pretty good plus it has built-in speech. Kenwood doesn't have the price on their website so I wonder how much it actually would be to buy.</p>

Peter Drake<p>Still looking for a way to use my Yaesu FT-65 in the event of a prolonged power outage like a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake.

Sunflower Björnskalle 🌻<p>This is interesting. In Sweden, CB radio is obviously clear for all to read, but it's illegal to talk about a transmission with others if it was not intended for you.
