@1836Forge
1836 Forge is a veteran (retired infantry)-owned metalworks and custom knife maker and homestead from Texas.










Just did a zoom call with a dude in Houston & walked him through programming his Baofeng handheld radio using easy to use free software He uploaded several repeater data sets & created a chanel list for them Then set his radio to scan those chanels and was able to pick up conversations happening in real time near his area Blew his mind In a SHTF grid-down situation you will want to be able to receive (and potentially transmit) information He can now tune in on his radio and instantly hear the emergency weather frequency, or flip channels to different active repeaters and listen in plus one-button he can listen to FM radio stations same as you would in your truck to hear music Went from zero knowledge to base line capable to establish coms in about an hours time I might consider doing this for more folks every weekend via zoom Let me know if you’re interested by replying below Free of charge. Just nerds being nerds together and learning together
