Talkpod sent us the A36 plus GMRS to review. It is a good replacement for a UV5R. It has several features that may make it a good first radio. Like USB charging on the battery along with airband and a few others.

On this techzoom Bob AK6R from Palamar Engineers gives us a great presentation on end-fed antennas, plus a bonus antenna you may not have heard of before.

On this show Butch shows us a few things we can do with the Aneng talking multi meter.

Here, I look at the Quansheng UV-K5 handheld transceiver, a low-cost handheld radio that's been getting a fair bit of attention lately. Specifically, I’m looking at how it might be a useful rig for blind operators. Be kind, it's my first Youtube video review with actual video, and excuse the audio levels as I just recorded on my iPhone on a tripod. Thanks to my wife Angie for manning (personing?) the camera, to Quansheng Electronics for providing radios to play with, and the @HamRadioDX 'and @TechMindsOfficial reviews for lots of great initial information and tips.

To buy one of these radios find Amazon link below.
