I’m uploading it again using a different title to see if it won’t generate more views.
The original title was tongue-in-cheek and meant to be fun (Spectacular! Sexiest Woodsman Ever Born!) but it seems to me that YouTube throttles anything dealing with “sexy” or “romance” or similar things. Very strange.
Anyway, the new upload is a test of sorts on my part to see if by renaming it and uploading it fresh, YouTube will distribute it fairly. If you see it and think “Wait a second, he already uploaded this show and I’ve already seen it…” you’ll now know why. I’ll be leaving both uploads available and following their success in an effort to better understand the YouTube algorithm.
I hope you all are having a good time with the remaining hours of our weekend!
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.
