If you folks notice the titles of individual episodes getting changed again and again, it’s not because of my own indecisiveness. Rather, it’s because YouTube doesn’t seem to want to distribute some episodes as much as others, and so I change the titles to see if that has any effect.
For example, the most recent episode was originally titled, “Wild Nuts Can Kill”, or something like that. After a couple of days, it hadn’t even been seen by 50 people! This got me wondering if maybe YouTube’s algorithms weren’t throttling the video because of the word “Kill”. That’s why I began changing the title several times to see if it had any positive effect.
That episode is now titled: Exclusive 111: Wild Nuts Can Save or Worse
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.
