Please check out the Ulefone Armor 3T Android phones. I am a radio operator and have used one as my EDC phone for a year or so now. The radio mic is WAY to hot to use regularly (I leave the antenna off and in a pack; carry other radios to use) but it is there as an emergency backup UHF transceiver. It also does DMR Tier I. The real magic of this phone is the huge battery and durability. If I get a second phone for mapping, etc, I wouldn't just get any old phone but would buy one of these for a tank with an incredible battery life. It can also be used as a power bank. They run around $350 new. Mine was something like $289~$300 when it was purchased new. (ETA: Look at the link but go directly to Ulefone site for the NEWER version at a cheaper price.) www.amazon.com/Ulefone-Armor-3T-Waterproof-Smartphone/dp/B07JGYPNDQ www.amazon.com/Ulefone-Armor-3WT-Smartphone-Shockproof/dp/B07YXWXXJB BTW: The radio app that comes with the phone is lame but some developer could make an app that gives mic control and does all of the data transfer you need, RIGHT FROM THE PHONE ITSELF. No cables. ... EDIT: I just looked on Ulefone's site and the newest version is the Armor 3WT for $350 and the non-radio version is the 3W for $330.

@@ninja5672 Those Part 15 devices (wifi radios) are also licensed differently from Part 97 devices (ham radios) and transmit at much lower power levels than Part 97 devices. That's why. Since wifi radios are constrained to transmit on the order of milliwatts, they're unlikely to interfere with other devices outside of a small radius, unlike ham radios which can transmit at up to 1500W depending on the band and the license of the operator and can propogate across continents. The reason why encryption isn't allowed on the amateur bands is to prevent the amateur bands from being abused for commercial purposes. If you want to encrypt your traffic, you need to buy a business band license. And you need a business case for acquiring such a license. This is probably for the best. If everybody who ever had the inclination to encrypt their radio traffic were allowed to go and buy a license for a particular radio band, there wouldn't be much space on the airwaves left. It would be a whole lot of unintelligible traffic - people using encrypted radio transmissions to talk exclusively to their friends about trivia while hogging up the bands. This would be detrimental to the hobby of amateur radio. If we find ourselves in a situation where the rule of law has collapsed, well, enforcing amateur radio regulations is probably going to be at the bottom of everyone's priority list. So, it's unlikely that anyone is going to care if you start encrypting your traffic. But in that case, your time is probably better spent on other efforts, rather than on trying to setup encryption on yours and all your friends' radios. Besides, transmitting always gives away your position.

High endurance UAV communications relay...I would be super interested in seeing a civilian option to provide limited area communication ability. Super neat. Thanks for the video. Also, It sounds like you are describing SDR (Software Defined Radio) for digital communication compatibility. The HackRF One is a pretty good starting point for an SDR transceiver with broad-spectrum digital off the shelf software integration capabilities. And...im on a list now...

just wanted to say 👍 thanks my research is growing more value assembling to localized preparedness for the protection of loved ones

Me and my comrades in Germany are using the military version ATAK since some month and it is really a great tool. The only downside is you have to rely on others infrastructure to send map material and stuff. I have found the potential bandwith of 2m and 70cm HAM radio bands being not enough to fluently stream map material or videos in real time. 23cm is much better for such purposes. I plan on prototyping an encrypted box, that connects between the smartphone and the ham radio to send/receive encrypted data on 23cm. All it would need to make it compatible with different models would then be a matching adaptor cable. And those are easily made yourself with a little solder and some spare minutes. I hope i can make this entire system SoC, so it takes almost no space and weight and can be integrated into a molten epoxy block. We currently connect via APRS on 2m and that's super laggy and only text messages are able to be sent.

18:48 Duncan Lemp tried doing this... and he was close too. Look how that turned out.

How do you know that’s what he was working on? Very interested in this.

Isaac is taking over Lucas' channel, and I love it .

TREX arms is legit. This is dope. Cutting edge of civilian tacticality.

Finally the color grading looks better 🙌love you content

This would be useful in large airsoft/paintball battles

My thoughts exactly... Only trick is managing to not get your screen pummeled with high-velocity plastic or paint.

Hell... the trick is to get ANYONE else on the field to be on board and willing to not be his/her own little rambo , ive tried and everything else falls apart SO fast when the paint starts flying ! Participation is critical!

Fantastic guys! Keep it up!🐎

Go to your local colleges ask some of the computer students to help for free as project for school? I did this with my recording studio for aspiring engineers

You guys are going hard in the The Civil War Training Program. This is a phenomenal tool for militias to communicate in SPE and NPEs.

Awesome information which i had no idea there was a civilian/public use app for omg this is very very nessessary to have/download Thank you so much!

Man I am gonna read a crap tone on all this. Love this stuff. Hard to really comprehend it all but love it.

Great info even for 3 years old vid. Can you make an update?

Could we get an update to this and or a Isaac Ted talk on current releases and or compatible apps and plugins!!!!

Atak has been updated to allow plug ins. Use atak, the hammer plug in, a aprs cable, and a baofeng and you are up and running.

Another awesome video, thank you for sharing! I've been playing around on and off with different versions of TAK for the past few months and gotta say, while the capabilities of the software are impressive, it is really hard learn and test out the features when you do not have the access to the infrastructure.

Great information and video 👊🏼
