This ain’t entirely settled yet, but I’m trying to come up with a logo that people will like moving forward, that will also look good on apparel.
As much as I love my original logo (the picture of a much-younger me in the thick woods wearing a fedora and blue shirt) photographs don’t make good logos because they don’t transfer well as stitching in clothing, hats, and those sorts of things. This is the reason I’m once again messing around with something many of you probably think wasn’t broken to begin with.
I’d love your honest opinions about this logo idea I’ve been playing around with (and is even used in the most recent PW video). Don’t worry about hurting my feelings or anything like that.
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.
