  1. George were beginning to sound like our Dads. LOL. You got to get the younger people into radio before we die off. These network devices just might be the answer. Hope your doing well buddy.

  2. Great demo using the radio Lewis. Where these scores is for people who cannot put up a antenna but they can join in radio groups. They are very social. The 4.5 " screen is a bonus.

  4. Glad to hear your doing well. I see you banging out video's, keep it up.. Its a bit like the electric car V petrol. Electric cars dont rev or sound like a good V6 or V8 but the younger gen seems not to worry and just love Tesla. Young people love Zello. I think products like the N60 at least try and emulate a radio. Its a step closer to proper radio than using your phone.

  5. Yes i agree with Parademic. Over the past 12 months i have prob got around 12 people back on the air using CB radio's after watching Fredintheshed1. From that 12 (that i know of) 4 are now taking a foundation course. Now that is after say 20 video's which take hours of time each. Network radio is attracting 100's of people on their phones as its free. If only a small percentage end up buying a radio like Lewis has demo in this video and out of that if some move on to HAM its prob still more than i could attract in 10 years.

  6. Hi Jimmy. I guess time will tell in the long run. Your right about the freq's being sold off. I can see that happening in years to come.

  8. Totally agree with you Adrian with these being just a mobile phone with a mic. However have you talked to younger people say 18-25 years recently about radio ? Sadly they have been born into a world of Skype, Teamspeak and Xbox Live. Instant communication and they just do not get radio communication at all. They would never consider spending out on a HF radio and putting up an antenna. However they may use Zello on their phone. I think for those people this could be a stepping stone into real radio. Its just possible that after a few years playing with Network radio they may develop an interest to learn more and hopefully one day become a real radio operator.

  9. Yeah. I love messing with antennas and iam currently doing so this week. I rem about 18 years ago i joined my local photographic club. At the time any digital produced or enhanced prints were not allowed to be entered for any competition. The older members shuddered at the mention of Photoshop. Fast forward to 2018 and who uses film photography now. There will always be real radio (thank god) but these network radios are going to get more popular.
