Ham Radio 2.0

POCLink sent me these radios that I have been testing for the last couple of months, and so far they are working great! I think all forms of communications are good - each has their place. These will NOT replace your Ham or GMRS radio because they require an infrastructure to work, but if you understand how to use them, they can be a valuable tool. Let's take a look at my experimentations with these radios.

Also POCLink is offering a 10% discount to my audience, if you are interested in these types of comms. Follow this link and save 10% with coupon code Ham Radio 2.0 10% https://poclink.com/?sca_ref=9131501.PXjWzdcOknm (affiliate link)
