And now here's your hosts, Sarah Sarah F Hathaway and Chen Gibson Hello and welcome back to the changing earth podcast. This is episode number 481 Hey chin, what's up? Chins up y'all. Well March has been crazy, right? Holy smokes, right?

I woke up in the middle of the night and I looked at the weather and then I followed the stream of storm Well, March has been crazy, right? Holy smokes. Right? I woke up in the middle of the night and I looked at the weather and then I followed the stream of storm all the way to your house. All the way to my house. So that was actually April, you know, just the beginning of this month

has been crazy down here. We actually, so Texas got pretty hit during March, I'm not gonna lie. But for some reason, I don't know, maybe it was our was everything at my house has new roofs from last year. So it was like the new roof shield over my house. And yeah, we've been-

I've seen an insurance commercial with the umbrella. All right, yeah. Yeah, I think yeah, State Farm's like, no more storms allowed to touch this house. Yeah. But no, it's been good besides like, yeah, the storm the other night got really wild the other day. Yeah.

Working from home is interesting because I'm literally at my house in a different state than where all my clients are. It's like... What do you mean there's a tornado warning? Yeah. It's like thunder clapping. It's sunny out here. It's a tornado warning.

My power flashes. The internet goes out and I finally could call my client back and he's like, well, are you going to get that application done for me today? Like I don't know man Stop seeing the flying monkeys in the Yeah, yeah, it was crazy I was like, I don't know Nah, yeah, I'm all done. And you know, that's just the day in the life of the remote employee. I'll I'll take it It's nice. Yeah. Yeah

so But uh, I've had fans for years nagging me about the Las Vegas years And yeah had those two pieces of that book up for a while for members only and I have you know, I had some extra time on my hands. Oh yeah. Yeah. You know, wait, I think I got the wrong number. Sarah, Sarah, are you there? So, uh, yeah. So I finished the Las Vegas years. I'm actually putting, um,

I'm finishing up the first round of, uh, edits on it right now. It took me about three weeks and I'm done. Yeah. Well, you know, you got to edit, edit, edit. It'll definitely have another round of editing done and then it goes off to the official editor. So it'll be still be a couple of months before it comes out, but definitely before Prepper Camp. And yeah, so everybody it's coming I promise you it's coming Um all of the changing earth series is available on kindle unlimited now. So I mean Yeah, I finally did it. I I Bent the knee to the corporate giant and um, it's doing really great picking up a lot of traction over there So yeah, I'd love it. If everybody you want to check it out your member Kendall Unlimited

You can now read them there and please leave me a review. Don't just leave me a review on one Put them down on all the books. This is uh, this is gonna get the series the Hollywood. So Been doing a ton of podcast interviews with other podcasters so keep your eyes out those interviews are gonna be coming up and I'll definitely point you in the direction of some of those. They've been really cool. Some of the people just wanna talk about

the practicalities of what I do as far as self-defense and anti-kidnapping. And then I had a really cool interview. It's called a reasonably spontaneous conversation. Yeah, yeah, and I went on the podcast with this gentleman. He's a spectacular guy. We had great conversation, really bridging gaps that, you know, sides that the world has tell us they they taught us the the two sides exist, right? well I've been actively trying to smash down barriers and uh just introduce people to the preparedness lifestyle and

um You know, we all have to get get out of the digital world back into the analog world Right like we need to be there for each other and we need to understand like, we're not so far off if you just sit and have a conversation and you can be open minded about ideas and still stand strong on your own values. But it doesn't mean that you can't, you know, listen and, um, be respectful. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And share and then be surprised at how much you have common values and beliefs and things that... So it's been a lot of fun. So I'll

be sharing that along the way. Good. How is Joe Rogan's studio. Oh man, I'm getting- When's that coming out? I'm getting ready to just go down to Austin and like sit out in front of the studio. You got three hours to put us on. Yeah, yeah, you know, when I have all this free time. And I'll be like, hey Joe, you wanna go work out? You know, I'll kick your ass far and I'm sure of it. I'm sure of it.

So, hey, I'm still pretty quick, you know, still pretty quick. So he's getting old. I'm sure he's older than I am maybe. Oh, I'm sure he is. I don't know. I'm pretty much the oldest one at sparring classes now these days. Telling you, they're like, oh, you should do this different. I'm like, come talk to me in 25 years.

Tell me how you feel. Yeah, tell me how you feel. The other day I did a huge leg workout in the morning, because I got to keep my knee in shape, you know? Do a huge leg workout. Then I go to MMA class that night and he invited a neighboring school and it's like, okay, all we're doing tonight all night long is three minutes sparring rounds. I'm like, I gotta sit down. Yeah. I gotta take a break. I'm like, I'm sorry. You know, to my instructor, he's like, oh no,

you paid your dues cause I walked in and picked the biggest guys first because I knew I would only have so much energy, right? Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. But you know, still going. So I'm ready to take on Joe. That'd be great.

So audio drama, all of the remixes are going up. It's a lot of fun to relive some of the stories and bring them back to life, you know, in a new way. So all of the remixes are going up on all of the podcast platforms right now. PBN over on YouTube as well, but I'm going to shift focus back over to Rumble just because they love all kinds of content. And yeah, my stuff could be a little bit too violent for YouTube it

hits a little bit too close to home oh yeah how many you like car crashes and animal attack videos are there are there like viral you know yeah status and yeah I don't know so I'm just gonna pull back over to rumble So you can find my channel on rumble at changing earth and we'll just keep camping over there PBN crew and everybody's a lot more comfortable there anyway, absolutely So beyond that the earth has been off the chain like If this isn't the changing earth, I don't know what is. It's incredible to watch what is going on. It's such an exciting time to be alive. So I've got lots of great changing earth news, obviously, later, but what I wanted to point out was

the wildfires around the Saluda area where we have prepper camp and You know the same prayers man Yeah, there's three major woods in North Carolina plus a couple in South Carolina that were close to the state line It's it's it's it that there's other would popped off in the town just a little east But they put that down right away. They saw it, you know Yeah, it's insane. Yeah, I was like, you know, I don't want to be chased out by a hurricane last year and then come back to You know wildfires on this year. Yeah. I told Hannah the you know, the girl that Is part of the family that owns it? Yeah, Like y'all been like between floods and fires,

it's been something else. Yeah. That's just forever. It just hasn't really relented since. I just got an email from, this is their 30th year. Isn't that cool? That is cool. Anniversary.

For Orchard Lake. Nice, that's very cool. 30 years, that's pretty good. That's an accomplishment. For a business, yeah. That's a great place too, I love it there. It's a really great setup and everything. If I was closer, I'd probably just go do some camping there

anyway. I've been over there talking radios. Yeah, oh yeah, I bet. I did a class over there, yeah. That's key for them. Yeah. Yeah. Staying in contact. Oh, I know. That's what they were worried about being able to, because well, we know we lived it. No cell phone service. Right? Yeah. So yeah, I got them hooked up with the, with the threes. And you got a deal. We might as well announce that in our, in

our beginning credits here. The intros, yeah. Yeah, so I've been smoothing with Redivis, the manufacturer, and the rep, you know, I told them that, you know, co-hosts and all that stuff, they go, oh, the changing earth with Sarah, that's awesome. Yes. So she gave me, she gave us a discount code.

So you guys get $10 off. And so that code is R10off. R10off. Yeah. One zero zero Foxtrot Foxtrot, right sir? No, it would be Romeo one zero Oscar Foxtrot Foxtrot. Yeah. It would be Romeo 1-0 Oscar Foxtrot. Oscar Foxtrot. Yeah.

Yeah. So, and I just looked at the website before we fired up the show, and even with the crazy tariffs, they're still holding their price at 60 bucks for one of the radios we're going to talk about, and 150 bucks for the other radio. So they're still on sale. Yeah. So that's really good. And like we're talking a quality product here. We're going to jump into it.

We're talking a quality product here, not, you know, the five dollar bail fang get get a you know Lit up with this with this radio because as far as I don't think you get a better bang for your buck for value For value wise and I have radios that are more expensive and obviously less expensive the Bayo Fang the gateway drug to radios, yeah, but I I got I was given one to demo, liked it so much, I went and bought the more expensive one I bought with my own money because I liked the demo one so much. Okay, before we jump into why you like it so much,

so these radios are doing GRMS and HAM? So on the analog, so there's two versions. There's an analog version, which is old school, like CB radio's analog. What everybody traditionally thinks of HAM and walkie talkie, like the Walmart walkie talkies, those are all analog radios. Right.

Over the air, like FM, like FM music, analog radios. The newest craze, I mean, it's probably been around for a decade or a couple decades, but the newest thing in Ham radio is digital. So it's much more efficient in the use of the airwaves, so you can get twice as much traffic back and forth it's much more efficient in the use of the airwaves, so you can get twice as much traffic back and forth on the same frequency. Some of that, you know, like in your car now,

you get the... Oh yeah, you get the digital radio. Yeah, that gives you... Yeah. So that's because it's sending mess data across the airways so Yeah But so they sent me the the ha1 uv Which is the model number of the analog radio now you can get the ha1

G Which is the GMRS radio the u UV is the dual band ham radio. And I'm not gonna say this, but if I were to, if we were just hanging out by the campfire, I tell you, you could unlock either of those radios and they can both do ham, two meter, 70 centimeter, GMRS, MERS, and well, they come with NOAA, the weather. That's not unlocking it, but they have that.

So you could really open these radios up. Got you. So. You just have to have your own chin and your back pocket. Yeah. So there's YouTube University is amazing. And it tells you what button to push and hold and what knob to turn and spin at the same time.

And what special passcode to enter, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And boom, the radio does all the frequencies instead of just one or the other. Oh, okay. So I did that. I watched a video and heard about it and talked about it at a campfire, but it's awesome

because then you still have to be mindful if you have a GMRS license you can talk at GMRS frequencies and GMRS powers. If you don't have that you could talk on those same frequencies at lower powers but then when you go up to the ham frequencies, the ham bands, But then when you go up to the ham frequencies, the ham bands, that you do have to have a license. So the only caveat to that is if there's an emergency, I think I've said this several times in the past, a life or limb, then you can use the radio. Right, right.

In an emergency situation. We had happened here during the hurricane, People were just getting on asking for rescue. They needed help. And that's totally legit. That's not a problem. And you can listen to them. If you bought a radio, as long as you don't talk, if you can just listen,

then half of radio is listening, right? Gathering data, so information. So yeah, you can listen. So yeah, so that for 60 bucks, so twice as much as a Beofang, and Beofang's not waterproof, doesn't have as big a battery. It doesn't have as nice of interface.

The speaker on that analog radio is outstanding. It is so good, so crisp and loud. on that analog radio is outstanding. It is so good, so crisp and loud. Like if you're outside and I put it, I typically ran with it at only a quarter turn. Not even full blast because it was so loud and clear. I mean, it was outstanding. Yeah, that's a lot of times if you're like, you can't even hear what it's saying anyway. What do you, yeah. Yeah, so if you're like, well, I don't know if you're like you can't even hear what it's saying anyway

Right, I could hear it over like the side-by-side or the the track. Oh, yeah now obviously I'm gonna like You know kill the throttle on the track there and pay attention once I hear but I can hear it All right, you know some of theseios, you can't even hear it. I'd have to have earphones in. I don't think I could, yeah, I don't think I could hear it. So that is really nice. And if you're here on my property,

Rhonda's, my wife is in the house working and I'm out doing crazy stuff, trying to get stuff done. And I typically put it on full volume just in case so I don't miss her call. Well, half the time I can't even get it through to Brock and I'm standing there yelling right at him. Yes. So I was one, there was certain boxes

that I wanted to check, right? So to get the next radio, I wanted to have certain things. Being waterproof was one of them because when you're out there, I was tired of using Ziploc bags, put my radio in Ziploc. Yeah, put it in the bag, take it out of the bag. Or inside your raincoat, always worried about, you know, these, they're IP67 rated so they can be in three foot of water for up to half an hour. Okay.

Take them out, dry them off, and they're still functional. Yeah, so like bug out bag type material, bam. Yeah, yeah. This is for both radios, but we'll keep with the analog. So the analog, like I said, the check boxes were waterproof, tough. I mean, I've dropped them already They really feel solid in your hand

Good clarity they have USB C plugs in the back for charging which was critical for me because I'm tired to have it like if you know like the bale thing you had to put it in a cradle yeah just chart with like my cradles everywhere yeah well my cell phone charges with USB C my that my wireless earbuds charge would use VC you know now every radio that I get is gonna have USB C charging this came with a cradle so you could set it at your desktop. But it's nice to be in the car, plug it in, and it's still high. Or anywhere, yeah. How many times do we have charging quarters? Instead of having

to... Yeah. I mean, you run with one cable with you all the time, right? Yes. And you know you can top something off if you had to to as opposed to having four or five different proprietary cables and those big desktop cradle power plug. Yeah, you got to put a power plug and then the power plugs all filled up. I don't have room to put it. They get all dusty when you're not using them. Yep. So I really, the only thing that I like is Sherp programming, which neither of these have, but they have, would you buy the radio,

you get a free copy of the software that they use. And it's pretty slick. You can, uh, you could program, uh, you know, squelch squelches is the, is the volume at which it receives an incoming call. So if you have a really weak signal and you wanna get that signal, you turn the squelch down to like one or zero and the signal will come through.

If you don't wanna hear all that far off stuff, like some radios, like FM radios, they have like near and far mode. Basically it's just a squelch. So when you put it on local only mode, it's putting the squelch up high so you don't get any of that far. But like when you're traveling across country,

you put it on. Yeah, cause you're trying to get something, anything. Cause you're trying to get anything to listen to in the middle of the night to keep you awake. So that's the same thing with these. But the cool thing was with the software, you could set each memory channel to a different squelch.

So if you have one that you run at your house and you don't wanna get all the neighbors, you might turn the squelch up a little higher so you just get your family. But if you have one that, okay, this is the channel that we use when we go into town, you might wanna turn turn the sculloch all the way down so you get like as much traffic

as you can across your radio. I thought that was cool. That is pretty cool. And you can also adjust your power. I mean, I'm thinking kind of, I always think kind of nefarious because I'm trying to think worst case scenario, I have to write bad guys and stuff.

It's like, if you had one of those and you were looking for a group, you could just turn it up louder to try and pick up as much noise as you could. Well, yeah, so that's, they would turn their squelch all the way down. But to get around the bad guy, you would put, you could set your powers as low as,

the proper etiquette on a radio is use as little amount of power as possible to get your message received by the party you want your intended party. Got you. So it's like a game. It's like how low can I go and still get it through? Yes. Okay.

If you're playing paintball with your team, you guys are gonna wanna get a feel for, can I run it low or maybe medium power? And it runs the lowest setting you could to get you guys heard. And then that way anybody else trying to listen in on your conversation, they have to find what channel you're on, what frequency you're on, and then hear you. And if you're on the other side of the hill, y'all have a rally point talking to get there and have the power just

Low enough so you can get the signal they might not hear you wherever their rally point was fair Okay, they might but I mean you can only do so much. Yeah, right. That's the game. Yeah Okay, I like it Yeah, so that's that was a cool thing that I really did like About program and then on programming, you're saying, so you don't have the big clunky buttons? Well, we know the H3 that I had liked and talked about at camp. My biggest thing about that one was it wasn't waterproof, right?

It checked so many boxes, but it wasn't waterproof. Yeah. But that one you can share programming from one radio to the other wirelessly, which is slick. Oh, that, yeah, that is cool. These, I haven't found that yet, so to program from scratch, the easiest way to do is use the software with a computer. Or you can use the menu and the keypad on the radio. I hate the radios that don't have numbers.

Some people like them because they're just simple. They're like, you guys program for me? Hit it to me. I just want a volume and I want to push the talk button and I just want an up and down channel selector. That's it. That would be me. I like to show me how. Yeah.

142.5, you know, 620. And I like to be able to type in my frequency, right? Right. So you could program a frequency. And if you're doing a repeater, repeaters take a little more programming because you have to do a sending frequency a receiving frequency it's sometimes they have like a coat a tone to open to be able to open a repeater so you have to program a couple different

things but you can do that all from the face keyboard of the radio so that's good yeah yeah because if you didn't have access to software and technology and stuff, you'd still be able to use that. Yeah, if you're traveling yeah, if you're traveling the biggest time this would happen is if if you were traveling and You met somebody do you want to talk to them on that? Whatever their repeater or whatever you could key up that I like to try to play in ahead and put frequencies in on my travels. Of where you're going.

Along the route. Yeah. But say there was a better one, you know, local knowledge or whatever, there was a better one to use. Yeah, fair. With GMRS, you can only own private repeaters. So you can literally get to a campground say,

and a campground has a repeater for everybody to use. Well, if you didn't know that ahead, you could get there and program in with your keypad and be able to use it. Yeah. Got you. Okay, that's cool. So, yep.

What else? Let's get down to that. The um the shape does the analog have the weather alert? Yeah. So, the analog this this one positive for the analog over the digital and I'm I'm begging the rep to get that added in the analog version has weather Frequencies pre-programmed in so you can go in there and choose which one you want to listen to you Find the one that's broadcasting for your area because there's like 11 or 12

No, uh frequencies use it depends on what area you're in. So you could program that in and listen. And you can go into the menu on the radio or on the computer and set it to alert function, which is really nice because set it to alert and then you could just go about your business talking on whatever frequency you want. It just like your cell phone, if an alert comes out, it overrides and turns on the Noah channel

and you can hear the alert being broadcast. I tell you what, sometimes those alerts are annoying as hell. But I've been hearing a lot of stories about people surviving the tornadoes that just ripped through because of those alerts. They're doing like summer thunderstorms are the biggest pain in the ass. Like during Helene, oh my gosh, all night long that thing was like if you just could get some sleep, you couldn't because yeah.

But so on the digital range, just a quick preview on the digital radio, just a quick preview on the digital radio, it doesn't have the alert function. It only has, you can monitor it, which doesn't make sense to me. And I'm sure there's gonna be a firmware update. Update to the software, yeah. I'm sure that's just a firmware that they can,

and then you just update the radio. But you can set the passwords on the programming. That's cool. Like the price, you know, it's the third, the price. And it's, it, it has that weather alert function. That's huge. I think that's huge because for me, these, these, although they're kind of my little thing, you know, I love to play with these radios. They're honestly a tool Right absolutely. Well, they're not a toy

I don't just get on there to chat with Joe below down the street just to talk about whatever coffee we're making Hey, yeah, that's I really have it Yeah gather information and to be able to contact people that I need to talk to when and if I need to talk to them. Yep. So, um, that's and gathering information is the know weather. I mean, if that goes off, that was so cool. And I find that it worked for a thunderstorm, but it worked.

So that was great. You should have more thunderstorms coming your way. That's for sure. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. I can use the rain. So that was great. You should have more thunderstorms coming your way. That's for sure. Thanks. Yeah, I can use the rain. So that's good. Yeah, so a couple other cool things. I mean, they're like just nuances.

The way that both of these radios are shaped, they have a little wing at the top. They like half of an hour, like a T. They're shaped like a T almost yep so at the time so when you're holding it your pointer index finger and your thumb kind of keep the radio from slipping through your hand you know it's not just yeah easier to grip yeah just stupid little things like that that they thought about right and the mic placement is just inside of where your fingers land so you don't have to worry about covering up the mic So that's good, too. I thought that was cool. That is cool

How do you say how do you say the company name again Redavis Redavis Redavis? Alluance. Okay. Yeah, it's like us. It's like a subset of Redavis Alluance Is is like they call them the like the Alluance that the HA1UV is kind of what everybody calls them. But Redivis is the website you go to. They're the company that's the parent company. Yeah, I'm liking it just because like you say the waterproof factor because if you're playing on any kind of like if you're any kind of movement scouting part anything

Working in the yard if you're gonna use it for other anything other than just in the car or the house or the house Yeah, it's gotta be one of those it outside between sweat You know you're cleaning a pool that falls out of your pocket or whatever. Yeah, it's at a pool stuff like that Out camping out hiking, out hunting. Yeah, when do you just not, you're just not moist at all. Rain is a thing.

Yeah, and like having to go through streams. Exactly, yep. So it really is for, you know, instead of paying 30 bucks, you pay 60 bucks, right? It's well worth and they last yeah they're not garbage when you need them they're kind they're pretty much a knockoff of the Motorola that the police use it's kind of like okay you look like yeah look like a copper yeah another cool thing that I didn't really pick is

what I wanted to have on a radio but but it has it, is the little channel dial on top. If you looked at the picture, there's the antenna on top, there's another like turn knob, which is the channel. So you could change channels on this radio, either radio, by spinning that knob or by pushing the up and down arrow on the keypad or typing in the actual frequency or channel number. Got you. So you can do more of a scan. Multiple ways.

Yeah. So it depends on what, like if you're, if you're sitting in a chair or on a rock or something and you just want to, I need to go to channel 23. So just type in 23 and hit enter and it takes you right there. Or if it's on your belt and you can't really see Just spin the dial that's on top. Yep You hear it channel 23. That's channel 24. There's times I wish that yeah, the bail things definitely don't have that capability. Oh bail thing the worst

I mean there that bail thing is what got me into radios, right? Right? These prepper novels, you author scare the crap out of us. And we gotta go buy this stuff. So I bought a Balefang. That's how I learned how to program radios, how I learned how to talk to radios, the whole that got my license with a Balefang.

Yeah. But now I'm learning the little. Nuances and what's better. What you want which it's like your first car and then the next car you buy All right Yeah, or like your first computer then you're dialing it in. Yeah what what it suits you? No for sure and that's really cool that they gave us the code. So guys check it out the red of this Red of this. Yeah So I'll put the code up on our on the website

yeah I am NOT getting any commission for this I was super happy that the rep shout to me say hey you're going on to the show once you give this hand this out to the people so I'm like thank you very much so this is all for for the listeners I'm not getting any kickback so let's go go for it you know it doesn't it just decreases your price it's not increasing it at all peeps help him peeps so if you take everything I just said about the analog, the HA1UV, and then add to that, it has twice the power, transmission power. So the analog goes up to about five. So you can go basically twice as far?

Well, maybe not twice as far, but you have stronger capabilities. It has Bluetooth audio, which is super cool. It actually comes with an ear plug, a wireless. An earbud, interesting, yeah. That has a push to talk button on it. Oh. So you can have this radio in your backpack and not even touch it.

It just push the button on your your headphone, you know your earbud. Uh-huh. It started talking then, you know release the button now We're talking like that way included at the price So think that okay, you want to buy just one of those alone 40 to 100 bucks Yep, so that was included in the package. So Bluetooth is awesome. I also tried it with the Bluetooth earbuds that I use with my phone. Right. Because they're a little smaller.

Now I don't have the advantage of having to push the talk button, but they're a little smaller and they fit underneath my ear protection, my ear pro for like shooting or the ones that I use when I run the chainsaw and stuff. my ear protection, my ear pro for like shooting or the ones that I use when I run the chainsaw and stuff. So I could hear the radio even over a chainsaw. Wow.

Because I have the Bluetooth earbud. And so, so like if you had like an Apple phone or what an Android phone and you have earbuds for them. Yep. You could, you can, you can pair them with the radio. With the radio. So that's slick, right? That is slick.

You could be gray man or lady. Yeah. You could be walking around town with this in your bag, your backpack. And nobody would ever know you're listening. People think you're talking on the phone. But you're talking to somebody else on the radio. Yep.

How cool is that? That is. And can you can still like listen to like firefighter type lines, police type lines, that kind of thing? If you, so some of them you can. Some, some of the frequencies are within the range of this radio. So some of them you can. I think that my town police department, they're like dispatch is a frequency that I can get, but they're like tactical

channels I can't get. Yeah. Yeah. Fair. Yeah. I mean that makes sense. Yeah. So that's, that's town by town. But like if there was a big riotous events, like you can find out about it. Well, a lot of ham and where I am. I'm shocked up here in the mountains of North Carolina They have a huge GMRS community we have repeaters all over the place. I actually with this radio standard Antenna inside the house Talk to every Peter 48 miles away. Cause I just looked, I did,

I pulled up Google maps and I found out the location of the repeater and I did a distance measure distance. So that's, that's a crow flies. That's not driving distance. Right. Yeah, that's crazy. Now that's, I mean, I was on, my house is on a mountain and the other, I'm at like 1,100 feet and that repeater was like 1,600 feet so there's probably nothing in between us.

Fair, yeah, so it's not like you're on flat ground in the city. Yeah, but that's insane. Still, that's insane. I mean, I know I get another repeater that I check those 24 miles away. Crazy crazy. So I mean, that's best case, you know, mountain peak to mountain peak kind of thing. But that's the benefit of having repeaters. And with GMRS, you can have your own repeater. So if you had property that had a lot of peaks and valleys, buy a repeater, put it on a peak,

and a lot of the valleys on either side of the peak will be able to talk. Which is, you can get a ham repeater, but there's a lot more hoops you gotta, it's just a lot more involved. With GMRS, it's not as powerful, but you can buy like a 10 watt repeater for 400 to $600,

and like a ham repeater, those are thousands of dollars. Crazy. I mean, you can rig like like guys will do like two bail things together and do a simplex repeater which is a little different but um a true repeater you can you can it uses two frequencies one in and then another frequency is what it spits it transmits the message back out on um so you could buy your own on GMRS. Yeah, it seems like Phil, like the GMRS direction as well.

Just seems more open. Even though you felt like working harder at it. I like it both. I was 100% ham when I lived in Charleston because they don't have a good, they don't have good GMRS coverage down there. Right. So really it's location specific, because they don't have good GMRS coverage down there. So really it's location specific,

but if you live in a location that doesn't have any good coverage, you can set up your own, you know. I know I bought a car GMRS that mounts on, it looks like a CB radio mounts on the car. And I bought two of them because they're made to plug together to make, they have settings to make them into a repeater

and those are 50 Watts. So I could have my own in case of emergency, I could stand up my own 50 watt repeater here. Got you. Yeah, and your Hill helps just helps. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, GMRS is, you know, it's was $35 for a 10 year license.

Right. Yeah. It covers the whole family. Yeah. Ham, it's like $35, but you have each person has to get their own. Take the class, get their license. And take a test. And you have to follow the guidelines of how you're talking on the radio and everything

else. You can't use it for like playing paintball. But GMRS, I mean ham, you can do a lot more with. Yeah, fair. GMRS is catching up. And if you don't want to study and you just want to have something in your back pocket, it's the way to go. You might get to the point where you say, you know,

after three or four years, you might say, Oh, maybe I do want an extra capability. Maybe I'm going to be the comms guy for my little community and everybody can talk to me on GMRS and I can talk to the comms guy for my little community. And everybody can talk to me on GMRS and I can talk to the outside world on ham. Now we have to just figure out how to bounce it from North Carolina to Texas. Now we get into the other cool thing.

So the HD2, which is the Redivis HD2. Yeah. The other radio that's like 150 watts. Yeah, the digital one. Yeah. That's digital. Now digital can, it can do analog channels and it can do digital channels.

On digital, it's much clearer until it's not. So with analog, it kind of fades out. Yeah. You have- have digital like there or not yes so digitally kind of like you have really decent reception until all sudden it just drops off falls off the cliff so you have good but the digital can be the repeaters or hotspots can be plugged into the internet. And you can, I was in Charleston when I got this radio

and I was playing around with it. I got into, they call them talk groups, the channels. Think of it as like a Facebook page. So I got into the Facebook page and there's all other people joined that same Facebook page. We could all talk to each other. I could talk to people on my walkie talkie in Charleston and they were up in North Carolina. That's crazy.

And if you and I were both on digital, and either we hotspot is literally what it sounds like, like a hotspot for cell phones and stuff. Yeah, internet hotspot, yeah. Well, it's a hotspot just for these digital radios. So you could have one of those into your house, your walkie talkie gets into the internet through that hotspot in your house, and you could talk worldwide.

You and I could talk on walkie talkies and we could each be walking around our property. Crazy. It is, right? Now I know, I know the internet goes down. I know. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, cause you grid down. Just because an EMP could take out your car

doesn't mean we don't drive cars to work every day, right? Right. Yeah, fair. So during good times, use what you can use and have backups. And have backups when you don't. Right. Y'all talk pace. That's why like you still, you're not gonna.

Contingency, emergency. Right, yeah. Maybe your primary is your cell phone and your digital internet connection. So you and I could talk to each other, primary comms through our digital. Maybe our alternate or contingent, for you and I, our contingency might be a ham.

Right. You know, which doesn't need the internet. But just for ease of use, day to day, key up the mic, put it on the Changing Earth talk group, key it up, and anybody on the changing earth talk group, key it up. And anybody on the changing earth talk group can talk to each other, just like they were talking into regular walkie talkie. And how like what can other people just listen in on that group?

It's just like a walkie talkie. It's just any walkie talkie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If they dialed into that, yeah. So what, what, what a talk group is. I mean, yeah, yeah if they dialed into that yeah What a talk group is I mean, I'm lucky enough here in this area to have multiple repeaters That Actually for free I can get into the repeater and then they have talk groups you can do so I can there's like a Western North Carolina talk group I can get in I could talk to people across the state. There's a PRN talk group, which I don't know what that stands for But that's the one that I was in it's for North Carolina South Carolina talk group

So I was in Charleston talk it to people. I think he was in Raleigh or Charlotte I forget so talking to people all over the place Charlie, or Charlotte, I forget. So talking to people all over the place. So it's like, if you know the talk group passcode, it's basically what it's a five or six digit number. If you know that number, you could program your radio. You know, you put the name of it in, you say what frequency you have to call in on

and what the passcode is and a couple of the programming things and then it's in your radio and then you just tune your radio to that channel and key it up and talk. Oh, there you go. It's just like your GMR-S radio with your family, right? You guys key it up and talk. Well, anybody could hear it.

Right. Well, same could hear it. Right. Right. Well, same thing here, but it's a little more through obscurity. It's not really secure, but just because not everybody has. All right. Yeah. Not everyone knows how to use it and not everybody listens to the same frequency like on an analog radio.

If you would hear something when I broadcast but you remember the old fax machines Uh-huh the squeak. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. Gotcha. So they wouldn't hear audio They will only hear squeaking and squawking. Huh? And If you had a DM a DMR radio you could hear it Because they're you know, they encode and decode the message. Now here's another campfire discussion, Sarah. Now, if you and I were just sitting at the campfire, just you and I, right? Nobody else is listening. Yeah. Nobody's listening to us. They have

encryption, 256 encryption. Okay. Which is just like mesh-tastic, which is just like a lot of like which is just like mesh-tastic, which is just like a lot of like police radios and stuff having this 256k encryption. So if you and I feared for our lives because there was a mean biker gang in town, we might flip on the encryption and if you had the key and I had the encryption key and I had the encryption key nobody even if they could hear the squeaking and squawking on a digital radio they wouldn't be able to understand what was interesting so there's a lot of good things about digital I mean I know I know and I'm not saying money doesn't have value, but for 150 bucks on sale

right now. All right, go get it. To have all that. And then use the code. To have a radio that you could open up and do GMRS, MERS, which MERS you don't need a license for at all. Those frequencies, you don't need a license. You could just use it right out of the box.

Got you. So, GMRS, Earth, ham two meter, ham 70 centimeter, analog on both of those, and then two meter at 70 centimeter digital. One little walkie talkie does all of that. And then, God forbid, the mean biker gang comes into town. Then you can encrypt. Yep. That's cool. All right guys, Romeo 10 off. Romeo, oh, R10OFF.

There we go. I say too many bin numbers. But you put it in the show notes and yeah. Yeah, we'll put it up in the show notes and that's cool I I cuz I you know, we we you've been experimenting with metting with a lot of things. So it's cool to have Yeah, and I play with that. We're like, yeah figure out what I mean, I've got more I've got a whole table full radios and This one the analog version of this if you don't care about the digital

and price is really an issue I'd say get that one right that's at least get that one if if you have 150 bucks while it's still on sale because it's I think it's on sale for almost half price right now oh got you okay didn't hit it yet so so go get it this this has so many so much capability Yeah, love it Well, good job. Good job. Good. Good communications information because that's an area where You know, we're lacking so I'm like Christian you got to be you got to be the man, you know And I put in the PBN elements page.

I think I dropped this in the deals over there too. So you could see anybody in the PBN family can see that over there as well. Got you, over on Element. Awesome. All right, well how about we do some change in Earth news? You gonna stop me, going to cut me off? I am. I'm going to stop you.

We're going to have like an hour and a half show. We're going to already have an hour and a half show for them. But that's okay. We don't get as many shows out these days. I'm so excited about radio. I know. I'm cutting you off. You are shut off. All righty. Let me whip through the Change in Earth news here. Dream. Survive.

Thrive. This is Changing Earth News. We have some interesting things on the board, that's for sure. All right, so Changing Earth News, this is gonna be March 1st to today. We're recording on April 6th, so it's going to cover that period. And the world of extremes. That's why you need radios and you need communications because we have no idea what is coming. And

it seems like they're always talking about, oh, these generational once in a lifetime, once in a generation event, like every storm. I don't know if it's like news media hype or what, but we had some serious stuff going on. So believe it or not, the Southern Plains like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, coming into March 1st was all still very much drought. A multi-year drought. So for example, Lake Travis is at like 35% full. Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, they're only at 32% of normal snowpack for those states.

So I'm still dealing with a lot of drought. So we've got extremes, right? One area right next to each other can be just extremely drought ridden and the other areas just getting slammed with flooding. It just seems to be more and more extreme. Southern Europe like Spain, Italy, Greece, they were still dealing with some droughts, but especially Northern Africa, countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunzania. Exceptional dryness up there and having crop failures due to that dryness. So just something to keep our eyes on because we want to make sure I'm always on the lookout for weather patterns and

how it's gonna affect our agriculture agricultural yields. So it's really where my eyes go. March 4th to the 6th North American storm happened with wildfires. This storm hit 20 plus states with blizzard conditions, 22 inches of snow in Iowa, 68 mile an hour winds, and then wildfires burned up 284 acres in San Antonio, Texas. So again, we're dealing with these extremes. There was an EF1 tornado in that storm by Ada, Oklahoma. One person was injured and they got two inches of rain in the Northeast causing flooding in the subways.

Also they received pea sizesized hail in Pennsylvania, but we've seen much bigger hail around the country this month. Six people did lose their lives, three in Nebraska from the blizzard conditions, three in Mississippi from the storm chaos, and over 400,000 lost power in the Dallas-Fort Worth area alone.

March 13th there was actually an EF0 tornado why is it important? It was just south of Los Angeles and they also had another EF0 up in northern California as well so we're talking some mountainous areas that don't usually see tornado activity. Sure they weren't filming a movie or something? What's that? Oh, filming the movie? Yeah. It was in special effects? It was Sharknado. Yeah.

So, yeah, just odd, you know. Gosh, was it last year we seen the tornado that started up on top of a mountain, which is just crazy. Doesn't usually happen like at all. March 13th to 15th, there was floods in the Democratic Republic of Congo. That was due to river overflowing. There was 30 deaths reported with that. And those are just like the preliminary reports

that came in. They had homes, roads destroyed, lots of infrastructure damage along with those 30 lives that were lost. March 14th to the 15th, we had another tornado outbreak here in the United States in the Midwest and the South. 56 plus tornadoes across 10 states. There was 42 people that lost their lives.

12 people in Missouri 8 in Kansas 6 in Mississippi 4 in Texas 4 in Oklahoma 3 in Alabama 3 and AR I know it's not Arizona. So Arkansas there we go. Yeah, just north me We got so lucky in that storm in particular because all of the activity went north.

EF4 is reported with this outbreak, 190 mile an hour winds in Diaz, Larkin had 170 mile an hour winds. So we're talking just a big storm. There is actually a supermarket that collapsed in Poplar Bluff, Missouri that killed one person there. Total of 170 people injured, 340,000 at least without power. So it was a big storm that probably did some damage to some agriculture in areas like Missouri and Kansas where they were losing barns and things like that to tornadoes. March 13th to the 16th winter storm of wildfires again were in the Midwest in

the United States. There was blizzards that came in 12 inches of snow in Minnesota, South Dakota, 60 mile an hour winds. Three people unfortunately lost their lives in car wrecks there. 100 plus wildfires in Oklahoma was a big wildfire day because of the winds. And then in Missouri they had 1.75 inch so it's about the size of a golf ball hail damage they came down in, Missouri March I told you this this month was ripping the 19th to the 20th We had more blizzards come in and storms While they always say March right is in like a lion out like a lamb right, but it didn't go out like a lamb

I went out like a come bang March 19th of the 20, 10 inches of snow in Nebraska and Minnesota, Iowa again with road closures. Big old hail came down in Illinois and actually one of the show hosts lost his pool in that storm. So yeah, you know, it was on the move. We had the same thing happen to us last winter with the pool actually. So it'll be interesting to see if it still holds water this year.

And that host had just spent time building up. I know, beautifying the area and building the pool in. Yeah. I know beautifying the area and building the pool in yeah Again Agricultural probably minimum. We're we're not into full-on plant season yet Especially not up there Texas for sure were there but not up north March 19th to the 20th storm

Martin hoe came in. It's literally Martinhoe. That's hilarious. Hit, it's probably like Martinhoe, you know, Portugal, Spain. Martinhoe. It's like something from the Princess Bride movie or something. Yeah, yeah. Hit Portugal and Spain, 75 mile an hour winds,

three inches of rain flooded Lisbon and Porto, hail two centimeters in diameter in Galatia, den it vehicles and 50,000 homes were without power. Big old storm came in. No lives lost, but lots of downed trees, lots of wind damage. On March 23rd to 25th, storm and hail damage in Saudi Arabia. So this area has just become, like, insane with the amount of hail that's picking up and flooding and everything like that. So they got 3.5 inches of rain in Mecca in Jeddah, 3 centimeter hail in

Jeddah which was smashing windows, vehicles, no confirmed deaths at this point but they did have flash flooding, disrupted power and this is all happening in the desert. So very interesting activity. I'm telling you the change in Earth. We did have a big coronal hole on the Sun at the beginning of March. It was gigantic. It was, I've just never seen anything like that. It's the biggest one I've ever seen. And so it had an earthquake activity upticking and then it really hit at the end of the month. So let's get into some more solar stuff. 23rd to the 27th there was three M class flares, 28

CMEs that came off of that actually put us in a level 2g1 geomatic storm. No outages or power outages or anything like that. And not even really a good show from it, as far as like the Northern Lights go. March 26th to the 31st, Kilauea was doing some really interesting eruptive activity. And it kept going for quite a while. Some of the lava fountains were up to a thousand feet in the air and it put off a lot of lava

in those activities. Again, there's nobody really around Kilauea. It's one of the most active volcanoes. They're around it, but people understand it's erupting, so they're not building houses right next to it. It would have to be a big, bad eruption for that. This was just typical activity. Also the Eula 1 eruption happened in Papua New Guinea. So they had ash plumes there up to 10,000 feet in the air. That's just the ash going up

that high. It coated the homes and fields. So it's just hitting local subsistence crops, but still you don't want to have volcanic ash on everything. And then on the 28th there was an X1 solar flare that came off the Sun. It was not aimed at Earth. It is a big bad eruption. Would not be good if it was aimed at the Earth, but it did not. And we didn't have any of the radio blackouts there was a potential that some of it was going to hit us and we did not see the radio blackouts or anything like that thank goodness for that i know it's it's my son against your radios i think you'll win yeah yeah i have them in a faraday cage

Yeah, you gotta have them in a Faraday cage. March 28th was the 7.7 earthquake that hit Myanmar. It was a huge, huge earthquake that did a lot of damage over there. They felt it really, really far away. 36 people even died in Thailand and one in Vietnam even though it was centered in Myanmar. Over or just about five I mean it's gonna be over 5,000 people they're still digging people out of rubble and some of the entire villages were just flattened and destroyed. It was really bad earthquake. If you haven't watched any of the footage of it yet, you really should.

And they had all these like high, those big high rise buildings that have the pools up top and water storage up top. A couple like the pool. Yeah. Yeah. There was a guy in the pool as it's like going and then people standing down below is like the water's just rushing over the edge of these buildings because they were shaking so much. I saw one with the guy, it was a guy and a girl in the pool. Yeah. And it had like the infinity edge.

Yep. And the water kept sloshing back forth. I was worried for them. Right? Like you're gonna go over the edge of the pool. Yeah. I was worried for them right like you're gonna go over the edge of the pool. Yeah So that was um that was a huge earthquake that hit and they've seen a lot of activities since then There on the March 30th there was a tornado cluster in Arizona Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri three tornadoes touched down in 24 hours. There was a super cell tornado in Noble.

Giant hail reported. No damage to homes, but no lives lost, thank God. March 30th, there was massive flooding in Peru, in Trujillo. 600 plus homes were flooded, cars swept away. They don't have a death toll as of yet, so they're hoping that no lives were lost in that event. But it did do a lot of damage to their power lines, to the whole town basically. On March 30th to 31st, they had flooding in Paraguay near Asuncion. There was 300 homes inundated, no casualties reported from that, but they did have a lot

of people displaced from that activity. Potential loss of soybean and maize crops down there in the lowlands. In Greece they had flooding massively especially in the it was the island of Paros and a hundred plus homes of vehicles flooded no deaths reported. I'm telling you that Ellen's trying to get me to visit all the time and she's potentially gonna be in Tasmania and I'm like there is no way you would find me on a little island right now like no way that's just my personal opinion everybody's got their own their own path to make but mm-hmm those islands have been getting slammed

March 30th the 31st there was another winter storm in the Midwest in the United States 12-inches of snow in the Dakotas 40 mile an hour gusts 4-inch softball sized hail and viola air Arkansas with damage to the roofs. No deaths from that storm, but they definitely had power outages and hail was literally smashing the homes in Arkansas. March 31st there was a 6.1 earthquake in Indonesia, 72 kilometers southwest of Tambolaka at a depth of 10 meters. They're really well set up for earthquakes. They experience a lot of them in Indonesia. It was just a very big quake. So luckily no lives lost in that event. They don't have the big skyscrapers swinging around and things like that. March 31st to April 1st,

the volcano in the Philippines, Can León, was erupting. Ash plume up to 4,900 feet in the air. No deaths, but they did have that ash affecting crops like rice and sugarcane. So that's where they grow a lot of sugarcane over there. March 31st, flash drought risk, central Texas. So it's still, it's just been dry, dry, dry in central part of Texas. Obviously not the North.

There was a 6.3 earthquake in the Pacific Antarctic Ridge. So nobody's gonna be alive to see out in the middle of the ocean unless you're on a boat, but still very significant earthquake event. We've been seeing a lot of uptick. And just keep in mind that May is actually, like when you look back at a lot of profits and whatnot, May is a time they ding for major,

for like the great quake in my book to happen. And so every May I'm a little bit more tense Um, I actually finally wrote a prequel story I was thinking of you chin when I wrote that story and you still haven't read it But that's just a side note But uh, if you sign up to my name is chin and I have a problem Yeah, if you saw I'll have problem. It's called radio. Yeah. I'll have to cast it over the radio for you.

If you sign up to my mailing list or if you're already a member, it's free in the members area and you get it as a free download when you sign up to the newsletter. It's called Before the Earth Broke and Doug made me a really cool cover for it. So it's like colorful and happy, you know, instead of like kind of doomy and gloomy like my covers are. So I was like, oh, it's Before the Earth Broke. It's really cool. So check that out.

Okay, April 1st to 2nd, we're coming into the month of April. We had floods Baldwin County, Alabama 300 plus homes flooded power outages. We had an M5.6 solar flare on the 1st It should not cause a lot of activity it caused some activity. It caused some auroral displays that were seen from Scotland to Canada. So we're talking up north, nothing big. On April 2nd to the 5th is when we had big storms in southwest and Midwestern United States. 53 plus tornadoes touching down eight deaths one in Arkansas one in Missouri that was an EF 3 in Arkansas EF 2 in Nevada Missouri

Nevada Missouri six in Tennessee so that's tennis ball size there coming in. Windows shattering from the hail. Kentucky got flooded. Dawson Springs got completely flooded out annihilated from this last storm. A little rock in Arkansas had some big problems with flooding going on. They got four inches of snow in Michigan, so up north it was still cold enough to snow. And I tell you what, that storm brought in

some cold to Texas. It's like, I think we're habits. We want second winter is this year because it got cold again. Semeru in Indonesia, the volcano erupted ash plume about 15,000 feet in the air and then we have that G1 geomagnetic storm come in from the M class solar flares. The fourth to the fifth, Great Sitken erupted up in Alaska. So a lot of times those volcanoes

are just down showing unrest alerts on the volcano, where I go to watch what volcanoes are erupting. And this one finally did let loose. It was really slow lava, but it was a confirmed eruption up there. There was a 6.9 earthquake that just happened on the 4th in Papua New Guinea. That was a tsunami warning issued with that earthquake,

but it was canceled. And then storm Kathleen hit the UK and Ireland. 80 mile an hour winds, 3.5 inches of rain recorded at Cork, two centimeter hail in England, denning vehicles and one death in Ireland due to that storm. But 100,000 without power. April 6th, which is today, there was a 4.6 earthquake in Iran this morning.

You know, Iran, where they could potentially be testing things. But no damage was reported from that, no power outages, no agricultural losses reported. Updates are still pending on the on that earthquake. And that's it. Still reporting, you know, these just droughts next to massive flooding activity, which is just really interesting As far as earthquakes go January we had about 17,500 earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger

February it went up to 24,500 so the earthquakes were had a big uptake in February March kind of calmed down and went back down to 20,000 It's still a higher number, but not as bad as February was. I do expect April to be higher than March just because of, we've seen some really big earthquakes just recently. And normally it takes time for the earth

to kind of chill out after that. I looked at the volcanic numbers today, there's 37 erupting, so that's down a couple from last month, which is good. 38 showing minor activity and 24 showing unrest. That takes us to 16 I Suck with math on my head 2019 and then

99 still on the list so we're down one Volcano from last month. We were at a hundred last month, which is 99 volcanoes on the wall Yeah month we were at a hundred last month which is 99 volcanoes on the wall yeah 99 would take one down passed around no we were up to a hundred and four last month but we had all of those earthquakes in February so I'm not really surprised that we saw the amount of volcanic activity we did it's still a big big the numbers are still really really high comparatively to what we were looking at just two years ago.

As far as wildfires in the United States, we have 11 large wildfires going right now. There's 128,600, nope, 128,066 acres on fire. None of those fires are contained. South Carolina's number one on the list. We kind of knew that was coming They sell one fire burning 15,973 acres

North Carolina is number two on the list Last month no for mark for today actually when I look yeah We were crank we had to be number one yeah yeah it's come down because you guys just got the rain yeah this is current numbers as of today so this would be the beginning of april um 9314 acres still on fire north carolina florida is number three on the list with three fires 4332332 acres, one new fire is actively burning. And then Georgia's number four, it's kind of an honorable mention

because they have one fire that's burning 3,434 acres. So it's a pretty good fire. So I thought, well, they don't usually make the list. Let's get them on the list this week, this month. Alrighty guys, so a lot going on with the change in earth. Make the list let's get them on the list this week That's month Alrighty guys so lock going on with the changing earth If you want to reach me or chin Go on over to changing earth series comm

There's a button right on the home drop-down menu that says contact us you can reach either of us there Yeah, smash that button. Really appreciate all the support that you guys give me. If you haven't left a review yet, please go over and do that. Things are looking up as far as getting the project pushed forward. So before too long, we'll be looking at a TV series of the Changing Earth series and I'll be like,

thank you guys for all the support you gave me and I'm just so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life that give me the support they do and just honored so thank you again please leave a review review gonna go on over changing our series comm stay up to date on all of the new books coming out the audio drama episodes Oh Season five's coming soon. So everybody over at PBN. That's a wait for season five. Do not worry. It's coming and PBN is probably gonna get a little sneak preview of that before anybody else does

so good stuff coming lots of fun and here we go April hang on tight guys I've heard uh you know that the planetary timelines kind of speeding up so have faith take a breath so much chatter in the world, but just, no, it's going to be okay. We're going to be all right, I think. All righty. Until next time, remember, dream, survive, thrive. Thank you for joining Sarah and Chen for this episode of the Changing Earth Podcast.
