Well, it took longer to figure out which combination of radio I was going to buy than it did for me to actually receive the radio in the mail.

Because the problem is you go on Amazon and you search up DM32 Baofeng, and then you are bombarded with a slew of here's the radio plus a cheap antenna plus a cradle.

Here's radio plus another type of cheap antenna plus belt clip plus cradle.

Here's radio plus two or three antennas plus lanyard, plug-in cord, extra battery, cradle, push to talk.

It's never-ending.

it was infuriating because every time i go back to i think i would lose the one i was previously looking at like the menu the whole menu would just hop and next thing i was like i can't find the one i just had and you if you find the one that you has all the things with it that you want it's not in the color that you want or vice versa that part didn't matter to me as much as long as it wasn't transparent i'm not gonna rattle can this we should well he's from the south color is important to him

Well, he's wrong about the half that he knows.

I'm pretty sure I know what AM means.

Well, Dusky in the chat asked if it does AM, and it does FM AM, I believe.

It doesn't do AM?

Oh, well see, I have a ham license so I can do whatever the hell I want.

It has receive access only to AM, FM, aviation band, NOAA channels, yada, yada, yada.

Okay, but it'd be really weird if it did FM but not AM.

Anyway, what got me excited about these that you pointed out is you can encrypt the little bastards.

see i don't trust characters you said random number generating website i immediately got suspicious no it's it's a random 256 or a random encryption key generator i know and that means there's probably a little government siphon on the back end just going you're getting my paranoia dude what you really do is get you uh

play a 10-sided like dnd die and just roll it 64 times now you are truly random also hopefully you have a lot of patience um but no we're gonna be playing with these in the future because the well so i have a couple of uv5r's that i've been screwing around with for a little while uh they're fine i've chatted with dudes with them i've you know

The fun thing about the UV5R is you take the big battery off, it's so little and cute.

Don't tempt me.

I will start talking about it.

Do not ever call me good boy again.
