Let me briefly explain why the Rumble videos appear in a delay compared to YouTube and the podcast platforms:
I always try to upload everything I possibly can in the highest quality image format that I can. This can be a pain in the hootchie cootchie, because increased video quality formats means increased video upload times. Still, for long-term posterity, I believe it is the only way to do things.
However, Rumble is in its fledgling stages. It offers the very best of the internet because it is committed to not censoring content. I want to support Rumble and I hope you will support Rumble - in fact, I long for the day when YouTube goes out of business and people will first think of Rumble than any other video platform when they get the idea to search for something. I want to support free speech to the best of my ability and contribute to that movement in every way possible.
But the reality is that we ain’t there...
Baofeng K63… I forgot to mention in the video that the battery has a USB-C charge port, so it can be easily recharged in the backcountry with a power bank or a solar charger. Also, the battery allows for something like 12 hours straight usage, and 22 hours monitoring.

I’ve been using AI to answer all my questions and learn these radios. Here is some of my conversations with my good ol’ buddy ‘Chatty’ George P. Tooley (some call him ChatGPT) for your benefit and so you can see where I started and how I began to learn the ins and outs.

On your Baofeng radio screen, the two sets of numbers you see represent two different frequency channels, and here’s how they function:
Top Frequency (Display A):
• In your photo: 155.725
• This is the active transmitting/receiving frequency when you’re on “A” (upper) channel.
• It is usually the main frequency you’re using to talk or listen unless you switch to the other.
Bottom Frequency (Display B):
• In your photo: 471.665
• This is a second frequency you can monitor or switch to quickly.
• It’s handy for dual watch or dual standby — the radio can listen to both frequencies and let you know when activity occurs on either.
