Basic Intro To Ham Radio DMR For Beginners - Episode 2

I will be covering the second part on the Basic Introductions To Ham Radio for beginners. This video is based off what was learned in Episode 1. It is more advance in how you can use your Ham Radio in the UHF/VHF bands.
Topics include DMR (Digital Voice Mode), Repeaters, Gateways, Nodes. This is critical in order to reach Digital Voice "Chat Rooms" which I broke down by manufacturer. Also the use of "Hot Spots" and why they are a key part of operating in the DMR mode.

Having just passed the Technician test on July 8th, and after looking at numerous ham related videos...your vids are far and away the Most Informative. Your organized excellently presented presentation really removes much of the mystery of these elements of Ham radio. So glad I found your informative, well-presented youtube channel.

I know more VHF/UHF than ever before. I'm an 80 year old General class ham. Your YouTube videos are superb keep up the good work

This has been a very enriching two part seminar. I have a general license, but did not know the first thing in how to get started in amateur ham radio. You have not only provided a gateway for me to enter, but also a road map that has laid out all a structure to enter said gateway with confidence. You have giving me the enthusiasm to join my local club, and get started on amateur ham radio!
Thank you for the time to give this subject matter structure, as to set a path for anyone interested to have the foundation and courage to get started.

I just want you to know, your presentations are great. I spent most of my military career and DOD civilian career as a trainer, teaching other to teach, and writing curriculum. Because of my experience, I get easily distracted by “bad” presentations but, not yours. Thank you!

Clear and concise with out all the extra nonsensical cable. Great, solid presentation.

I see that this discussion was three year ago. It is still valid. I have taken the prep course for the test prep, but this vidio provided a more indepth explanation of the subject.

Thank you for these videos. Clearly they are empowering. I’m working on my license and trying to decide the right move to make on my purchase.

[Jamessmith-kjot]

Thank you so much! These videos are concise, your keeping the hobby alive

[williamhowe]

Thank you for your time and investment in teaching others about HAM operations. I am excited to test for tech and plan to get my GMRS tonight. Thanks again!

Hey there. These videos are a great help for introducing newcomers to the hobby! Thanks so much for making the effort to produce these! I’ve already used them to help guide some people who are newly interested in ham radio. One thing though that you might want to correct if you ever do an updated version: D-Star has been an open standard for many years now (since shortly after it was introduced). The radio brand selection is indeed limited (Kenwood & Icom), however, the standard is fully open and there is nothing stopping Bridgecom or other manufacturers from using it in their radios. The linking/trust network isn’t limited to Icom’s original system either (there is IRCDDB, which is fully open).

As a Technician, I would use a local Echolink repeater, in Arlington, Texas, to talk to Antartica.

[DrJohnAKing]

Great content. I was wondering, if from your experience, you could recommend a path for a non technical person to get their licences. I will watch all of your beginner videos as a starting point. Appreciate your input.
