Car Accidents and Electrical Wires
I highly recommend watching this video on car accidents and power lines. If you remember, not to long ago, a local high school student was electrocuted when he stepped out of his car with power lines

Re: UV-5R SOTA in high levels of RF
I've bricked four of those uv-5r radios in half a days use while hunting. I've only found one that still works.
That pays for a decent FT60.

Re: UV-5R SOTA in high levels of RF
I have two ft-60 and two UV-5r radios. When starting in radio the china radios did not exist but bang for the buck was ft-60 with diamond 77 antenna. Maybe $200 investment and made home brew antenna

Baofeng UV-5R Easy Manual
I came across this nice manual that takes a relaxed approach to the UV-5R HT. For those that are new to the radio it will be great. For those that are familiar with the HT you might find it a little

It doesn't take very long at all for an organization that is created to protect us from external threats becomes an organization that watches us.

Yes, the busy detection is sensitive to audio level settings, so get that straightened out.
You want whatever sound card you’re using for the radio selected for both input and output. The Realtek

Re: VARA and Winlink
If you’re getting a constant indication that every channel you try is busy but you don’t actually hear any signal on that frequency, there’s some setup problem.
