through the mist with a flintlock. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat. Speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught according to the system. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be married. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for what you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both behind the lines and occupied territories southwest north south and east. We're listening to us liberty tree radio on satellite and we are on a m f m micro stations c b bay stations and ultra nate like technologies and west of the mississippi along with alaska good afternoon taller friends out there lower forty nine including great shaded epsilon with kona cell line two states the Outline territories and the clock. 5.08pm Eastern Standard Time. It is Communications Tuesday. It is the 18th. Yes, the 18th of May. 2021 Old Earth Calendar. 2021 Battle for the Republic Derswords. And I've got a little Ford keyboard operator who's thinking he's going to help. His name is Mr. Kitty. Just like his great, great, exact same face. but anyway also with the claim conniving eyes but well since i said that he turns around goes all i'm ignoring things is only about two little bigger that much anyway uh... couple things here with regard to communications i understand some of the bell phones might be uh... a little better price right now pay attention specially all down here right okay anyway uh... especially with the going on with china i can't feel them having quote-unquote a backorder on the of that but you might feel longer line uh... delay with regard to adjust getting here because remember they were doing on-time delivery from china with those products so the difference you're going to see is in putting a date farther out it's not that they're backorder or they're waiting for production at nonsense they actually have been doing some say to reveal on on blocks or packages of palm bill functions and if you do the larger twenty or twenty four in fact i think you probably make an offer go to whatever size bundle but they actually have pre bundled uh... set prices and discounts uh... right now you can probably make a pretty good deal simply because again uh... we even though our devaluation the currency is taking place china's also gotten hit a little bit we we even though they got almost what eighty percent of our on everything of you name it china all they got the finger of the party by you know ebay or if you buy from uh... of come on with c of the one i never order from car was it anyway if i don't think about it i'll think about it but i've got a reward for whatever by through them uh... and that's why i put them completely out of my mind but walmart the same way walley world's a hundred percent communist china and i don't like i think it'd be hard pressed to find american in the store maybe the food that's about it and uh... because of that they don't really want to lose i'm sorry go to court cheaper than dirt no amazon thank you if you read a lot of the amazon whenever we never have ever heard anything from amazon anything but amazon is another extension of china sport thank you for a fee if you can't say something and it goes out no amazon the other work well over your vehicle but around a little bit but uh... amazon i've never ordered anything i mean zero that not all the time it's ever existed like walmart and i think and counter times have been a walmart maybe to be about what thirty in the whole time it's existed in the only reason because eventually we'd be a found out about some really great sales and you know you go in there for sales and i have a walmart for one thing once again so wealthy exciting there i avoid walmart like the plague which we should be a boy like the cold white brewery of the old beer bill bill koron a beer virus camp over a corona beer virus camp avoid wal-mart like that you'd be amazed how what you do and how quickly they would like to make a deal okay that's one of the other things that we need to be thinking about there they want to make so uh... if you go over to uh... d x dot com or if you go to wit well which is what everybody knows about much tennis board direct If you go over to Wish or China Sport Direct, you will find, if you put the handheld walkie-talkies or the in-dowl thing, as a name brand in there, if you start to push, if you also put a search for, you know, bundle or, you know, multi-purchase, then a number of different flags or banners pop up. eBay, the same thing, and most of those, of course, are sidebar with the algorithm that come in from the China Sport Industries that are hawking eBay. and uh... yes you can bring the price down to a third of what the radio's normally cost how ever and this is where i've talked about this many times and it's happening right now again there are some really great buy-in some of the model for the bell things but they have the proprietary battery and what i'm thinking is that they're sitting on the shelf for so long what they're doing is they know that they're long in the tooth twice now they should be a problem with with uh... They know the the numbers they know the odds on that so what they've done is they've come down in price a little bit to product line out because they've got still production line coming in the difference between one radio over the other is Convenient as opposed to our Tory battery packs guys, and I've told you this a million times The first thing you want to do even as you're looking at a maybe a bundler or quantities radios Can you get spare back, you know battery picks right now? Probably you can number two. Can you get The AA AAA adapter that go slide right where your normal battery pack is. Why? Well, because the little batteries you have in there are preparatory flat plate batteries and they, no, they aren't going to be easily switched out to something else. We can do it, but if the industry is providing those little battery adapters now, this is when you buy them. Now when you have to scour the system and search here and lift a rug and find a distressed merchandise company or whatever, Right now, while these radios are on their long run, you know, they're good, and they're staying there, then this is when you want to buy all the auxiliary parts while they are reasonably priced. Now, I will say this. When they finally cancel out, if they block the radios, they probably won't immediately block the accoutrements. And so what will happen is that there'll be a short window there where the buildup of inventory of spare everything will be cheaper. And then, after about a year of that, maybe less, the prices will creep up and then go into unobtainium level because they'll become rarer and rarer by, you know, perceived by the people selling them. At a certain point, the value of the radio will go down completely because parts and cost availability would be so extreme, you know, the people will get stuck with the parts, then they'll go bargain based on the parts because the radios will have become passé. That's the normal cycle for anything electronic. i don't care are you know think about all the different apple sound systems that are out there and how many variations there were and how popular they were what the volume was and you'll see that with each one of those uh... no matter which of the players it was uh... dress really the cycle i just described it was taken place i actually have a couple of old uh... apple systems that uh... you know they're out of the handheld noisemakers uh... the crudest earliest models right right wrong way don't like a whole package you know if i keep watching the art sales i have all the accoutrements all the attachments all the cables extra wires of the speakers all the male extra stuff that they figured a markup and you know make more money off you because of the nickel and dime into death only instead i got a meter for free or for pennies Now I keep putting them in a little bundle and there isn't anything in that little bag that I don't, you can imagine, that I don't have that went for or was made for that system. One of the other reasons around here is more money in Brains, San Arbor. And gimmick technology really takes off for a bit and they spend the money on it and then they go flip it and then of course the new gidget comes out so all the old gidget are, yeah, passé. They might hold onto it for a little bit, they transfer the data maybe from one machine to the next, and then they just let it sit there until it slides out the back door, goes to a resale shop, or it goes out to the curb. So that's when you get some for free that, oh wow, look at that, all this, I got all the music programmed, also other resources, oh look, I've got even, you know, external brains, you know, slash external hard drives, little babies attach. Some drive connectors, all kinds of fun stuff. And like I said, speakers and special earphones and you know, I just got one of those the other day for one of the apples and I wouldn't have gone out and bought it. It would have been like about $98 back in the day while I got the unit for free. Why would I do that? But I just got a set of the headphones for nothing, along with a whole bunch of connectors and cables and all, you know, look virtually new. Some of them are brand new in the package. So those will all be the spares. I ever did wear the thing out. I actually have everything needed to keep it running for quite a while. And that includes even spare chargers, spare packs, somebody around the area here, especially with Japanese companies here in Dexter. Some of those people were techs and they just bought all the raw materials. They bought the components. They didn't buy the brand new part. They were doing it all themselves, which is kind of cool. So that all goes in the pack with the rest of the junk. Anyway, with the valve founds, I mentioned before there are a couple other companies out there. that do uh... that do radios in china that you wouldn't necessarily recognize because the belt on the gotten so much so much attention bought i would point out that those radios are pretty much the same internally and uh... in many cases are just a spinoff from the same production company much like the american radios or radio names not necessarily american uh... because of the uh... uh... common sense marketing that the chinese have they don't put all full young in one bucket they what they do is actually pretty dangerous like you know you party act etcetera right uh... old mobile evolvio anymore as trying to name basic chance the famous truth regard to radios or any other communications technology what you're seeing it many cases if you live side by side and they were able to open up the back end uh... externally they've got a little different curl to this a twist of that it may be with a different color combination but in reality if you look at where the controls are and what you the antenna configuration you'll notice that the radio the basic radio components of the same which really is not much you could do with a walkie-talkie anyway uh... you know if we're changing up but these are not just a little familiar it's the same internals and sold you know chow chu bang as opposed to me chow chai as opposed to balchian other really isn't that much difference now the just as with the bell fangs there are a number of different uh... grades of radio and it's also true that the knockoffs are like this now one of the things that is true about some of the knockoffs you pay attention names is that they may be more like a party act on the thick Cadillac you know the in the GM lineup there are cars are almost or on the same frame but they're not the same car okay they have fewer bells and whistles and they may not have as much in the way of stuff under the hood they work but they don't know we're quite the same way but there's a there is a spectrum with each of the brand names so you know spread much like the general motors or ford combine of manufacturers each one has its new nature to area market and that's how they they built it and that's all they've kept it as the conglomerates first came together and then they sorted out where they wanted to and how they would market those card names Now, one of the things about the Belfians is that, as I mentioned, the antennas right now, there are a bunch of cluster deals on the bendables, breakables, okay? Yes, somebody's asking, well, like the BF-888s, you know, 888s, yeah, 888s. Those radios are, hold on here, let me ask. Well, again, some radios are more sophisticated than others. I've got to emphasize that again, example, uh... you've got well see two-way radio scanner hold on the pull that up here to a radio scanner transceiver handheld police fire portable uh... f antenna ham radio thirty three ninety nine and again now one of the things you remember about a lot of people that's before all you know can we have them sure you can have them uh... you're just not supposed to be working on them but who says you're going to now probably example and see an example right here this particular radio so you piece here on the phone trying to find a particular so now let me see if I can get the manufacturer's name okay brand-new a band a brand-new unused unopened undamaged item original packaging 835 HK 4-1 multiple phone okay well yeah okay that again if you're looking at you know if you make a package deal if you buy one that thirty three ninety nine you buy two thirty three thirty one used to be there would be dollars differences you'll notice now it's only pennies uh... and again you buy three or more the thirty two sixty three uh... so you do save a dollar uh... well no you don't very well yeah you dollar something now i would point out where you're asking about this particular model you'll notice proprietary batteries what i was talking about again uh... these are lithium ion battery packs and yes there are they are available i'd in fact i'm pretty sure they are right now uh... this particular one uv uh... day i've are which is had a lot of talk uh... with all the accoutrements so i mean basically a voice to talk uh... You have the option with the other earbuds, throat mics, all kinds of other fun stuff, but for $34 apiece, yeah, these are a steal with regard to the basic purchase. Where you're going to run into problems, as I've mentioned a million times, is going to be the long haul. If you're thinking about using these for, you know, 10 years into the war, I would remind you that you better find right off the bat where is the best buy, best deal, for the standard battery that slaps into the back end of that radio any of these radios if they take the lithium ion lead light you know the iron on the you know wasn't the high on uh... uh... starfire there's a couple different names for them the batteries over there of course that either naturally company names for those two the uh... different batteries that are out there are only going to be made for so long except them bullets were at this that's another way that they also get you to new radio because well after all i can't get the batteries anymore now the uv dash five hours this particular radio which is thirty four dollars a unit right now uh... you've does you care if you do have a battery alternate pack that made for i don't know that they're still offering it in this particular service uh... who sent me this Diane, okay, well, okay, Diane, the radio you're looking at, perfectly serviceable, refined for emergency services down the road, not going to be fighting with anybody or asking for permission. Most important is that it does come with charger, battery, radio, obvious screw-on antenna, wall wart, clip slash utility clip, earbud, and, you know, front mic, along with, oh, I think that's it. Oh, and a little hanger, I wouldn't trust for anything, a little. little rinsing. No, definitely not. Mark, those are the ones I bought. Yeah, throw that out there. And I paid $22 apiece for them. Yeah, and again, they're out there. Yeah, as a matter of fact, you can make an even better deal on larger quantities too. That's one thing I keep emphasizing. Well, I mean, it was $22 for one, I bought $10. And it was $22 for $10, you know, per. Right. But they've gone up. If that's the best price now, they've gone up. As a matter of fact, well, no, it's not, it's only 88 again, so what about this one? Okay, an example is, this is a very different radio, by the way, but you have the Bellfong BF888S Walkie Talkie 2-way, you can get six of them for $60.49. Now, if you buy three bundles of six, they're fifty eight dollars and seven cents a bundle so basically you're looking at ten dollars radio but that's not the same radio i was just talking about what you said you bought more sophisticated model uh... this is a much simpler radio solution but bought for your regular line infantry this would be good enough and the reason i think that is because it is a simpler less sophisticated radio to work with remember mistakes are made of the more complicated the equipment is so if you're looking at outfitting a whole bunch of troops and you're looking for a quick radio solution everybody on the same page then this would be the way to go with these larger bundles and like you said the other model although we're just looking at before uh... it's available well i was really not any cheaper uh... pretty much across the board has been looking at that While $10 seems to be the average right now, if you squeak around for the Bellfong 888S, it's... I'm even... I just didn't... Here we go. Better priced. Well, for $10 a piece, it'd be $200. So, 20X Bellfong BF888S 5W two-way radios, UHF 40-40... 400-470 MHz, handheld HT walkie-talkies, uh... hundred fifty five ninety five for now you're talking pretty reasonable price there okay that's what's been ten dollars a unit for mass you know mass purchase a bundle purchase thank you diane and uh... the course now this is a simple radio not you're looking at the more sophisticated i'm looking to see if this site has anything else let's see if they have any other bundles no unfortunately the same radio that dot are you got just keeps going up in price the book So it has gone up in price. But again, the devaluation of the currency in America and all the other fun stuff, we may find them for a better price. We do a more elaborate search, I would say that. Now another thing, so that's kind of not par for the course for my life. Usually everything goes down after I buy them. You're right. Well, you know, interestingly enough, now in other examples, I just got this thrown at me, miscellaneous Motorola handheld radios. There are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven of them. uh... look like half of them have uh... antenna nope while yet to of all well all of them but to of them have of the usual the antenna material guys that they've been using all these handhelds uh... it does not have by a good good fluctuating and it does not have i believe a good are rating in the red infrared rerich rating for the plastic because of that you'll see the uh... the the uh... little floppy antenna eventually will start to crack in spot and literally flake off like like chunks of flesh uh... with with the meat attached and uh... it'll go right down to the bare-bones metal now the american ones i've never had that happen with hardly any until they would be a ten twenty years old but a lot of this stuff we're seeing this on these radios with a few years so they've checked out where they can keep out we've always warned everybody about that And again, it's not a big deal right now to buy replacement antennas. They are about as cheap as you could possibly purchase them for right now. Again, they're not going to have the same problems. I would point out that you could take these existing antennas, because right now those antennas are not destroyed. The way to do it would be to re-tip them in tool plastic, you know, whatever that liquid or shrink wrap, you know, the shrink tubing. That's another option. We used to do it all the time, just stretch out the life on the American-made ones. So, there's a number of things you could do. You could put some plastic goop on the metal and then take the shrink tube and put it over top of that. You might have to split it, part of it, to get it over it, and then slide it over, stretch it over, get it on the antenna, and then use the old heat gun on it, and that'll pretty well cover it up and prevent any possibility of moisture incursion, and then of course shorting, which is something we don't want. Only things knocked out. but thirty dollars for seven radios if it was in reasonable distancing to go pick it up it would be worth it okay stood to take a look at something like that now again these are going to be orphan radios i collect them all the time when i just a little trip i had five different radios on board three of more orphans you know three different you know radio companies two of them were upset all of them talk to each other uh... and of course they were all they're all using standard uh... triple-a battery so although to a rechargeable And again, I get reasonable life out of the conventional off-the-shelf Dollar Tree batteries, but I can buy better batteries and I get a little more life out of them. That works. So any of these radio solutions are acceptable if you are willing to take a little time to do the research because again, if it's used, obviously you're going to want to plug it in and test them if you can. If you do pay like, well, in this case, you're looking at seven radios for $30. The chargers are with them. They do have some handheld mics that are attached. uh... for thirty dollars you might make it you know take a risk and again considering the average price of the motor roller radios which is a lot more than this then you're not probably going to be out anything you look for two of the units of the rig did work as well as it should uh... on the other hand if you're listening in your trying to out fit a whole bunch of people real fast of the bundle groups like this well that's if you know for for three hundred and twenty dollars not even that for three hundred and twelve dollars you can put a full platoon in service with radios twenty or twenty ball phone pf eight eight eight s's five-watt uh... two-way radio u h f four hundred or four hundred seventy megahertz that's what you get already again four hundred and fifty five ninety five for twenty so four three hundred and twelve dollars everybody's got some of the squawk at It's not, no, I'm gonna tell you something, if you're infantry, unless you've got something really important in front of you like, it's a bomb! Or, oh my god, over here you missed them, they're hiding behind the wall. Bob found them behind the wall. Okay, well, Bob's already went out, Bob. Otherwise, the radios are solely for the purpose of leaving them on and letting the squad leader or the fire team leader guide you where you are needed and moving you as a hand. That's the only reason really for those radios to be there. This is why back years ago the Army, when they came up with those really cool, all these Vietnam reactors want these now, they were headset radios. There's a headset radio clip to your helmet, okay, and it's just the receiver. And then you have another unit, that is the send. And what you could do is issue out a bunch of the receiver units, and then you have the send unit in the hand of the fire team leader or the squad leader so that the only people doing any talking are the two guys that are in charge for as long as they're alive. Now let's remember on a battlefield, my only problem with that would be, better know where that guy is, because if you're going to take over you might want to use his radio, or transmitter. so the interesting thing about it is is that they kind of what russian on everybody because the russians have the same philosophy even for instance let me give an example the standard russian gas mask uh... there are no voice meters on the regular infantry mask for the rank and file only the officers and n c o's had voice meters squawky talky little rattle boxes on the front of their gas mask if you're a private european you're not supposed to talk back here simply supposed to follow orders and you're the extension of hand now without saying you're a peasant a plea board you know whatever but uh... the u.s. military kind of did that with the equipment they adapted they went to now while the big thing was that they were going to give everybody a radio that never happened and in reality what what took place is the radio set usually the transceiver set the both the transmitter and the receiver ended up in the hands of the guy I was just talking about, the squad leader and the fire team leader. And everybody else didn't get a radio. The only ones who might get a short, short-range radio like that would be the, for instance, an LPOP or the Point Man. And that would trade off depending on who was the Point Man at the moment. They didn't keep the radio, they traded it off when they'd give a halt and they'd change everybody out of position so everybody could get a rest. and the point man would rotate what he did he take his radio set off the clip clip it on the guys helmet he'd hand the guy the radio set confirm the frequency let him know this is the only frequency so that you could be sure of the guy would check his re his transmitter to make sure that was on the proper set they were pretty well locked into place and uh... that he'd start using the equipment what they were in motion again but other when you stop just like on night vision you shut it off if you are going to be using it shut it off to save the power say the battery in this case the batteries other units are fuel slippers so to speak their power slippers so the big advantage with micro you know solid state is that you're minimizing the energy consumption extending the life of the batteries now somebody's asking on these eight eighty eight again good question now the last time i checked i believe and i'm gonna confirm this they i don't think the eight eighty eight your proprietary battery but you'd get me in a hind end on this one if i'm wrong I believe, hold on here, nope, I'm wrong. Well, no, I know why. No, because we do have the battery packs for those. They are proprietary battery on the 888S. I know they make the battery packs for these. They're bulky. I've mentioned this before. I've actually, we've got a handful of them here. Maybe not a handful, we've got three here. I've got a dozen somewhere else. out there but you're gonna have to like I said I'd snag those right away or spare batteries right away also again for the same reason but that seems to be probably the best price is all kinds of other I'm doing a quick search while we're talking here and I'm not seeing anything that's any better price I mean eighty nine dollars ninety nine cents for ten so the 150 you actually that is still better price yeah 420 at a time now again they might even have a forty point listing i just not don't have time on the order to do that but if they did they might even give you a hair you know better discount on the other hand if you do buy those bundles and you buy a larger like two bottles instead of one bottle when you get a better price or even though it's only a dollar or two so it's only pennies are going to save per radio But that would be my first choice in terms of a quick radio solution because in reality if I look at the I need to get everybody out fit and get them on the table quick for about what? $7 a radio You really can't complain about that right if it's if you're looking at those kinds of prices on piece of equipment like this that normally you know would be it would go to you know we've got a better radio yeah you can but i got out fit twenty people are you going to spend a thousand dollars on each person do you have the money to work out well no but but they all should do it really and then you want to buy a two thousand dollar rifle and now how many how many hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of ammunition now do what i mean but when you start looking at this especially when you're fielding an army you know i there we go okay i just did the spec on that seven dollars and seventy all seven dollars and eighty-cent i'm gonna go up seven dollars and eighty cents per radio not bad and uh... let's see what the show and free shipping while the slave trade but you know if you think you the radio for pretty good price now again these are not as sophisticated these are a lower tech radio but good enough for what they're for for close quarter individual and team you know contact and communication so there's a solution in fact i'm going to put a and to watch list right now and make sure they're worthy need to be ok leave i've even tempted to buy those right now uh... as it is also on their another thing you have there are the manufacturers motorola though is chinese made the lower and motorola radios i keep emphasizing kenwood the same way now there are other american companies and i'm going to point out that you should be surprised there should be no sticker shock because yes you're paying for a little better quality unfortunately uh... no matter what in terms of the policy components uh... most of it's going to be chinese or filipino or vietnamese or malaysian made compo earlier the better quality japanese available and taiwan is above pretty much all of what i just mentioned there and yet you won't see much of the time with these tech until you go over to the more expensive pieces of equipment and the japs of course japanese are highest on the other picking over on all of this right now if you prefer best quality it's just when you want to be allowed for the whole lot of people and and get the army going yes you know the chinese think about this ok everybody of the chinese military probably could be filled with a radio don't you think we financed it if we're buying these radios what do you think the chinese government getting them for and remember they're making a profit at seven dollars so how much of a if they will say they have a million troops with a million troops uh... and you have the bell phone radio whichever one you're going to choose to actually use for both just a fielding a regular kraut army all with he what could i do all wait a minute i'll bet you the probably around if there's seven dollars our price they're probably no more then three dollars and uh... out the door with uh... of a profit at that end coming right out of the factory to whoever the service company is The actual cost is probably down around $2 to $3 a unit. Okay, so I have a million men. What does it cost me? $3 million. I'm gonna go high rather than low. I didn't even go low right away. It's like, okay, it cost me $3 million. I've got a government. I need a million men I want to put in the field. I'm gonna give everybody a radio. A real durable piece of equipment I think is gonna be around 15 years from now. If I get it in the field, most everybody jumping off is right now better equipped than the average American soldier. Wow. And that was crude and rude. As Don pointed out... That's okay, they'd bring those radios over here, Mark. They won't be using them very long, so... Right, but don't worry, we'll keep them clean. Can you put them all in plastic bags? What? Well, you know, when you guys bleed, you get stuff all over them, and we gotta take a toothbrush, and you know, we gotta be careful and break out the alcohol, and... Could you put your equipment in Ziploc bags for me? Well, we're going to beat you. You're not going to beat us. Oh, we're going to beat the hell out of you. None of that. We're going to mop a floor with you. And when I do, I don't want to bruise all that good equipment you just brought me. Because I got some troops over here I need to use. Yeah, remember that SKS you sold me 30 years ago? Yeah, that's what you sold you. Yeah, take some of it back. Yeah, hold your bullets for me. Right? That's what we all need to remember. How can you say that in Chinese? What? telling this, hold your bullets for me. What do you mean you hold bullets? Yeah, well, that's where you show them that SKS and point at it and point it down and smile. At least if you can't speak in Chinese, it's like, yeah. And if you really want to insult them, I still think, guys, this is why you need the Hello Kitty AR-15 or you got the SKS dressed up as the Hello Kitty rifle with a little Hello Kitty, you know, a character on the side, all nine yards in pink. you can lie to him i shot him with the other scast my tired one you know the one that's long in the miles terrible on the outside pretty on the inside tech driver every day yeah i thought i shot it with but when he dies as he's gone you were killed by hello kitty pucky you goodbye and that's all she wrote and the same with the other little communist out there but once we have an hour's eye water uh... so anyway the big thing here again is we can put you you can put him in put the equipment that you need in the hands of your people for a reasonable price uh... and again by you saving money here with the radios you have money to spend on the american weapons you think you need or the medical supplies you didn't think you were going to be able to afford to go right down the shop in this one is that they you didn't think you're going to you thought you'd have to you know drop for the time being if you can get what you need in every category on the table right off the bat then you're ready to jump off Okay, and again, you guys can tweak the rest of your technology accordingly. It's just like body armor. So you want to spend more money on body armor? Congratulations, you can. With regard to the radios, the only thing about it is that the standard for the least expensive in this case makes sense in that you can hand out a bunch of these to the troops. And if you want to switch out or add to the technology, in other words, if you want to expand on your ability to receive and send, then if you want to purchase something a little later on down the road and other radio these things don't cost anything to carry i've pointed out that having uh... of uh... but to meter of of bhf u h f in yet another part of the radio bandwidth uh... then the f r s radios between that you can actually set up a small unit mid command and higher command grid and one person is carrying all three radio is not good but it can be done where you could have multiple people carrying all three radio so that if somebody takes a hit you're not out with higher command this is why when you see uh... if you watch they were soldiers a wheel we all we were so we know we were soldiers okay uh... pay attention remember when they're in the oldie how many guys are hanging around the guy in charge the o i c with a radio pack on was there just one man standing there how many were standing around him Now, ask yourself this, why? See if each of those radios is committed to a separate element of the command grid. That's why there's a pod of radios around that termite mound. Remember that was the ore of the termite mound, that was where they rallied up on. Well, guess what? You see one RO standing there, there's another RO talking, there's another one of the background talking, what are they doing? They're an extension of the guy in charge. Now, one of the big advantages of smaller radios, the only big advantage, and it's not a big one, but it's nice, is redundancy. I can afford to have a series of ROs and backup ROs for the very reason you see as is typically the case, everybody, the fickle finger of fate, is giving equal opportunity get hurt time to. So, you don't know where the stray bullet's gonna go. And if Bob all of a sudden isn't standing there, Fred's the next guy in line. Fred, you're it. Now the only thing that Fred's got to be doing is constantly in fact he may be monitoring or he may be on the in the chain for Prepping his radios for proper frequency interlock because I've told you this a million times if you try to do that at the last minute people You have to stay focused it is you the person who's doing this kind of work It's just like everybody was talked about demolitions Lee placing demolitions under fire and staying focused and specific to tech it requires a lot of central central cold you know myopic focus on the on the mission radio operators can easily make a mistake and we can be lamenting about how you are answering me but then you check the radio and you find that they you know set the radio to freaks off and they didn't realize it and again they were sure they were sure they were sure i've had this happen to you all i know i get a go right over and be what we all go over look at the rig and lo and behold and that's not even under fire this just under your stress test so to speak and they're like they're looking at their equipment they're reading off the freak and it's like oh and everybody can see that way you know we can't say we don't bother you were just messing with it no no right here rob whale pay a PRC radios all of the combat radios have lockdowns and then they have a secure not okay if you have a go take a look at pictures of it uh... a m p r c eight nine ten and p r c twenty five a m p r c seventy seven uh... and p r c ninety's domain difference they do this intentionally because things happen in the field so that's the one thing you've got to remember if you're going to be using these radios for combat operations and again we're also another rule if somebody's tap on their head okay giving you the the no signal then the first thing you want them to do, you've got to have a hand signal to confirm frequency. So, an example of FRS is numbers. So, you look at him, point at your ear, then hold your hand out and go, you know, one, clearly, one or two, and what you do is press towards the observer so they can, you know, again, emphasizing. Ear, and then number. Now, if it's a combination of numbers, then what you are doing, same thing, again, get their attention. If they're within direct line of sight, eyesight, eyesight, and then here, tap, tap, tap, and then give out the number, direct line of sight, you know, in hand signal form, hopefully they'll catch on. Now, they may realize that, like I said, oh, damn, I'm not even on the right frequency. and they'll adjust accordingly. But that's again, if it's a real, for instance, a more sophisticated tunable radio, not all radios are individually tunable. And they have, they're set to either one, two channels or a multiple number of specified channels, just like CB radios. That's a, that is a minimally adjustable transceiver. Because you do have the ability to work up and down the, you know, with the control. the radio so that you can bring the signal in where there's a little variance your point of impact as opposed to the signal going out by the radio. Just think heads up there. Oh, wait a minute. Okay, you know what? And thank you. Okay to Charles. Yes, Bellfong, UV5R, two-way radios. Okay, transceiver, 59. So that's safer than the other one. Thank you. Appreciate that. And again, with free shipping. Oh, no. I tempted. that's for about that but wait a minute all over the other one already followed twenty two ninety nine maybe they have them in stock maybe they don't that particular one so yes there's a little better price very depending on where you are and the search but remember i just went to the one great idea of it is the problem with some of these inventory sheets it shows the price that you go there and unavailable out of stock that happens to uh... here we go okay thank you okay here's an example of talking about anybody here barter ritivists you know what the wrote what's the video radio company ritivists or rectivists or real re-tag or re-tavite re-tavite anyway the h seven seven seven i haven't seen these in a while uh... again uh... a ten pack radio system for eighty seven forty nine and uh... really to be quite honest i guarantee only one of those well looks like another radio on the outside but the controls are identical to the ball thing or if you take a look at you compare notes but especially if you could open up the chance to you'd be surprised he might even find that the battery packs are interchangeable uh... again price well about two dollars difference told you know again it's a matter of the one you know as opposed to rajal ritivas And the fascinating thing about that, in fact, hold on here, let me do this anyway. Yeah, I don't see, I see virtually the same radio revisited. And in fact, the Retivas, like the Bellfong production line probably just changed the plastic molds and insert the technology accordingly, all the internals. That's what they're doing. At about the same price. So no, it's not a bad solution. It's actually, work it would work just fine but uh... if you are committed to a certain model and you're thinking about changing over to the other purely because it looks different i would do a test with a few by a couple even by just one and compare notes if it looks like it's basically the same radio you're already running then that's a good thing all all women at all i think the routine with the copy i've got something to help you get your ass shot signal available Unlike the Bell films, hold on here, I don't think they do have that feature. I'm going to double check. Oh, they do. Okay, I do have to comment on this because the 888 didn't always have the flashlight feature. Now, guys, let me ask you something. What's wrong with having a flashlight? Well, let me go through the motions this way. You all got a radio. Most of you are carrying tactical rigs. The tactical rigs, be they the fixed pocket or the molly type, usually have their radio pocket where? Where's your radio pocket? It's on the left side, upper shoulder, really visible, isn't it? Okay. Now, this is a white LED. In fact, it is an incredibly bright white LED. and figure out the middle of nowhere you're maintaining the light discipline the sound discipline and all the sudden somebody reaches over and is fumbling with their rate because they can't hear what's going on with the crackle and they met with their and they push down and all god alma mater business white light out in the middle of nowhere in the affected like little old somebody else starts going with their equipment does it again that's leading up to the fog yeah well what's looking down there yeah what's over there bob i don't know could be marsh gas that's it marsh gas knob probably about marsh gas how about we just load up a yet drop of mag over there we're coming to us by fire jiu jiu jiu there you go so one of the things i would say about these little flashlights is they're not needed i'm sorry i know that it seems convenient and but if you are going to be a key can't really disconnect them per se and i'm not going to tell you to do that but i will tell you that mister duct tape or mister rotate works and taking a girl a tape i'd rotate mine yet cut a little piece of tape put that right over that to be faith to make sure that no booby prize is awarded because remember or i'm not real close to bob when he did that Yeah, but the guy's going to do reconnaissance by fire, he's probably going to spray the area down, he'll hose it down a little bit because that's his job. So we don't want that light discipline issue to be a problem. So right off the bat, with any of these radios that have the flashlight built in, you want to make sure that either A, you actually know where the control is, one trick is you can also tape that over too to be safe, or bridge it. But the big thing is cover up the lens, that way it just can't happen. If you gotta clean it up later on, you can always pull the tape off, break out some alcohol, and a little Q-tip, and clean it off the rest of the way again and make it happy. But with either or any of these, if they're the small radio sets, that flashlight feature is something that is not going to be helpful in a tactical battlefield situation. It's not needed. If you need a flashlight, there are other tools that are flashlights that should be under control. and impossible to have booze with. In other words, you secured it its own little pouch or its own container or however you're going to wrap it and it's, you know, you know that that's what it is. So anyway, again, hold on here, Retevis radio, pretty much parallel on the same price and I, like I said, I'll guarantee the same location, the shipping, it depends on which ad it is by the way too. Now the Retevis RT22 long-range two-way radios, UHF, let's see, bundle of six for 8469, and the RT22s, now again, not as sophisticated as some of the other radios we looked at, but it is a step up in between the other equipment, the other rigs that are out there that we just discussed. I would prefer, again, the better price and quantity, there's another thing to remember too, by the way, God, before I forget. Yeah, you got 40 radios. No one broke. Next day somebody stepped on it. Now you're minus a radio. So it would behoove you to buy an extra full bundle of spares. And once you do that, grab your spare batteries, grab your spare antennas, any other accoutrements, spare mics, spare headsets, and make up bundle bags with all of those hooked up and ready to go for your radio tech so that he can fix in the field as needed or replace. Now here's another thing, and I cannot emphasize this enough, if you step on one or you break one or it gets run over, oh it's junk, I'm leaving it, that ain't gonna happen. You bring back what you broke so that we can give it to the geek. If the geek has it, there might be something we can scavenge. Remember, you might break something else like a, just a simple turn knob. Maybe the antenna is the only thing that survived and squished the radio on one end, but the radio antenna is intact. All this stuff is going to be pilfered by the geek who's going to make sure that we can keep this equipment running for as long as possible. So it's your job to bring back the tech that's damaged. And don't ever forget that. Don't get stupid, sloppy, or lazy. And usually all three of those are combined in the person who's not following instructions. So make sure that again we recover not only what you got but if you see any more laying around then they get dragged back to they get put into the haversack or the again the recovery bag and they're routed to the geek just like medical supplies are routed to dock and just like munitions are routed towards any of your ordinance tech. We're going to inspect it, confirm, see if anything else is in question. uh... or whether they can apply to something else uh... one of the reasons i am just as a sidebar remember some of the other captured equipment you're going to pick up if at all possible know how to pull the batteries so this is where it's the geek job to keep everybody up to speed of the technology that you have the ability to capture especially if it's already been captured in the past you need to have classes on the enemies radio equipment special night vision thermal technology uh... any type of ground surveillance equipment any kind of uh... air observation technology others and all kinds of stuff hanging around out there the electronic infra grid of the enemy is guilty committed to his obnoxious and quite extensive uh... it obnoxious as far as i'm concerned because just deep deep deep support and uh... a lot of with a lot of pairs everything we're talking about you have to address the system has to maintain in a combat situation and that just never works the way it's supposed to so wherever whatever we do acquire we're going to be better i think it's sculpting it to our needs where if the other side not so much it's going to be there but a lot of stuff is going to be dropped real quick just the nature of the beast somebody asking me hold on our keys well again okay now the unit dens okay i've been talked about you know that again these particular you did radios are also made in China. The same place as making the Kenwoods, the Bao Fyong's, the little Motorola's, the little ones, are also making the Uniden. Now I love Uniden radio, or traditionally half. The Unidens were freestanding separate designs, and they were their own family unto themselves for a very long time. I don't know that that's true of most of the newest stuff, but there are some pretty decent pieces of equipment out there. But again, for the price, looking at these, Yeah, these are listed unit long-range 30 mile GMR FRS 22 channel. What's an FRS radio? So $50 for three and that you can you they're good. You're a good rig The only thing about the FRS radios as I pointed out they have an armored internal antenna You may have noticed that they have a shell now. That's good because they're there. It's hard to damage the antenna It also is of course designed to have Not accidental, not contingent. All these cool pieces of equipment piles up them and they love to play with them all. I would like to have one of every and then sets. Anyway, God bless our Republic. The new world order we shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Emperor is on the run. War in the march. And again, almost all the war and stuff. I can't think of anything that's actually made in the United States. you know the right to bear arms because that the last form of defense against tyranny not behind protect yourself from the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless. People that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones. We're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. What are we doing? Politicians. No. Okay. Just get any blunt objects together, alright? If you get corners, put the passion in the head. That seems to work out. Keep together, stay sharp, and follow me. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number, you've traded in your name, you've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright, as Iowaw keep vanished in the midst from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this dill the land of the third all auxiliary frequency? You remember the ATF attacking at Waco they all had radios uh... after the first wounded were created help made for a the guy kept talking and that it was voice to talk to you every time he talked he blocked all the rest of the signals for the unit it was very demoralizing to hear the guy dying by inches over by the water tower water tank and uh... course he was you know they'd want to expose themselves because they were there like for valuable bobs wasn't well whatever his name was And because of that, they had to, in an emergency, switch to their secondary frequencies, and then their third, because when they had a second attack wave, remember they had the first attack wave, then they had a second, well then they had more wounded, and they were all begging or making noise on the second frequency, so they had to go to a third alternate, or I should say a second alternate, a third frequency, but not everybody switched over to where they should have been, and so all of a sudden they lost communications. Remember what I said about Funderstress? Everybody had a radio, but not everybody was talking to everyone. No! Anyway, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters on and behind the lines in occupied territories south, north, northeast, west. and you were listening to us on 3radio.4mg.com Liberty Tree Radio on satellite. We're on AM&FM microstations, AM&FM conventional stations, CB base stations, an ultra net hallmark, and Golden Spike Technologies free and clear of the regular internet. And with all the garbage you've seen, it proves out we have been all along. It is 6.10 PM Eastern Standard Time. It is Communications Tuesday, it is the 18th of May. It is the 13th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K 2021, World Earth Calendar 2021, Battle for the Republic, Dance of Swords. And that's another thing, older police radios. You may have noticed this if you have any older motorolas or for security companies. You may notice that they only have two frequencies, two channel options. There's a reason for that. That way if somebody got into trouble, there's only two places you needed to go and they were fixed frequency crystals. There's only two places you could go, air go, there's only two possibilities if I'm looking for you. If I couldn't talk to you on frequency A, I could talk to you on frequency B. I would point out that many of the older motorolas, in many cases, only had one channel, one frequency, just like the old military Wawakey-Talkies. How did you change that? You opened up the back end. and you had a crystal that was two pronged, it was in a simple, looks like a chrome little can and you would unplug the one which would be whatever frequency you wanted to change out from and you have another crystal where they were clearly marked on the top of the crystal can itself and you plug the other one in and all your radios are switched over to when you do each radio one at a time switched over to your new frequency and this would change and was done by the geek the radio geek okay the who are you are a was command our own person on the uh... unit your technician now chemistry with police department most all of these uh... re are these radios you can buy crystals for i would point out even though they're older the uh... big thing is that some are less proper than others so they're cheaper not because they have to accept a lot of other crud are clutter and background noise that's not necessarily a bad thing because think about this if nobody wants to use those frequencies and you're using them in a more remote location it's least likely people are going to be monitoring the junk frequencies that you're using you were think about that i did this years ago i want to know about used to be combined the crystals for those for the gee's for instance i've mentioned those many times a couple cluster of these gee to channel handheld radios i went down to the columbus uh... uh... hamfest and one of the guys had trades he has like killed ten tables and he has crystals in little pods you know he's got the like uh... like bookshelves laid on their back but with little subdivisions they have like the things like chiclet just part of a little And, you know, he even had little comments, you know, frequency not as desirable, lots of background noise, and I looked at them, I looked at them, and the more popular for being super cleaner, $3, $4 a crystal, but not so popular, frequency, $0.10. So I just looked at those, and I said, oh, how much for those? What if I buy them all? Oh, you mean like $100? No, I want every one of them. Oh, okay, so I got them down to like six cents a piece and we just scooped them out, counted them on the table and I ended up with two little shopping bags, little hard, heavy shopping bags, paper. of these crystals that I put into my little wagon that I was walking around through the show with. Now why did I do that? Well, everybody now has a second alternate frequency that we can plug into, and since a lot of the operations will be in the rural areas, these frequencies of interruption comes around the metropolitan areas like around Lansing. Now I would say this, one of the units that had those radios and still is using them is a fairly large formation south of Lansing, Michigan. and so we have a get clutter they're gonna get clutter out of the uh... out of the uh... city and because of all the different signal technology that's there you industrial etcetera and but uh... it's still acceptable and the performance where range is acceptable because you go to low-power you do short-range signal you know slash short-range transmission these are not supposed to be talking to book brazil or bolivia from michigan supposed to be talking person to person in close-quarter contact And that's another thing to remember if you have thousands and thousands and thousands of troops in the field, having everybody on the same frequency but with a really super powerful, it's long range! Well, if you're all using long range, you're going to be chattering over each other and interrupting each other's communication. This is why a lot of military radios have what seem to be short frequencies. Well, how far away are you supposed to be from your lead combat element if you're a platoon? Or if you're a company? either a platoon of 40 or 50 men or a company of 120, 160, up to 200 people depending on how heavy your company is. Now each one of those people has radio. Remember they're going to have to also maintain radio discipline just like we were talking about you know in other words noise and light discipline but in this case it's radio discipline. Big problem people like to use radios like cell phones. And that's not what we're buying them for. Okay? So if you thought that was going to be your, you know, pacifier because some of my telephone services don't, I just got to talk to you, Bob. Are you the center tonight, Bob? How's it out there, Bob? Is it dark? Can you smell the enemy's fear? Can you smell the, can you smell the stench of the enemy not having wiped his ass for like five or six days? Can you smell him coming, Bob? Are you scared? Are you scared, Bob? This isn't Bob. This is Ken. I'm over in the kitchen. I can smell you and you know the same description, but you're over a radio check aren't you? Yeah, I am. Well, I'll tell you what. I'll bring the food to you because yeah, ain't smelling too good from this head. Hey, that's an insult. Yeah, yeah, whatever. How about you stay off the radio? I'm insulted. See, that's the problem with this is you're gonna have to bring everybody up to adult phase. Your radios are not cell phones. They're not conversation tools for fun This is the ultimate in games that in reality is they like they said it's the deadly game So we're gonna be better at the deadly game. Okay, that means every aspect of what we do. We've got a tight knot Okay. Now I would point out a lot of these radios are well, you know, it's interesting I just did a quick spot while we were at the break all these retinivous radios actually have a rotivus marked battery So, again, this product, product placement, the Chinese will do it for you. What's interesting about it is, again, that there are the even more traditional singular battery, not the whole hull is replaced and given to you in the sleeve, but purely the battery. Now, some radios are like that. They actually have a fixed them, and that's not an accident. That's done so that you have to buy radio, because radio pack, battery pack, because you, well, you molded the battery into it. uh... down the road that becomes a problem and that's why told you again and i will repeat it this program like i have many times in the past do not do not do not do not do not throw away your old battery packs if we have your old battery pack i can take one that you don't like and i can experiment and maybe i can adapt something else to work with your radio your battery pack that will battery back to clamshell if we do that we've got all your spares that we could rebuild while you're using the ones that are still good That's a double plus good thing and something we all need to be ready to do now. And on the unit dents, by the way, that was the other question about it. Yeah, the unit dents, colors, of course, are an issue. Dark is nice. White is kind of, you know, snow all year, it's okay. But the white is in line with... More of the marine feature idea. Marine radios are mostly white. Again, the idea is to reflect light. They're usually out in the sun, the ocean. There's lots of flatness. There's plenty of exposure. And they go with a higher IR to prevent flaking and cracking and breaking down like I was talking about before. In fact, I think they double-dosed it, so to speak, because they expect the award with the military equipment. Maybe Biden or Obama bought it. And then it's bargain basement. And the Israelis, you know, seven times the price. have you know half the value on you uh... now i'd really don't want to turn away from the clusters of been trying to find a better price i'd actually the ball funds we first ran into i want to thank you to our listeners of looks like it's pretty much the best price for that class of radio and again there are a number of other options so we're not just pushing the chinese radio by the way there are some american regs out there that you can buy that are used or at least in a new old inventory that are predominantly american bill in again i mentioned uh... for instance uh... motorola does have a lot of stuff laying out there if you search for motorola handhelds uh... mine and industrial grade radios are out there that are the older models are not as popular they're also a little bigger now one thing about the whole popcorn fart uh... bell functions such as that they don't want anything The radios that we're talking about, remember, are built in many cases so that they actually do have, or may have a committed battery pack, but it's a module that actually takes replacement Ds, Cs, AA's, and sometimes AAA's depending on the radio. Remember that the radio batteries themselves, if they're properly built, were a little heavier. NICAD was the big thing back in the day for the rechargeables. There are other adaptable options with regard to the Ds, the Cs, and the AAs. The radios themselves, half of the volume of the radio is actually the battery pack. Now there is one thing about the Ds and Cs is that they do offer a little longer life, obviously greater storage capacity if they're built right. If they're not a fake D, has a double A battery inside a D-Hull. That's why some of these D batteries seem to be kind of light. there's a reason for that if you were to dissect them you'll find out pay wall they cheated us yeah they did but it's things that you know the chinese have learned to get away with so you gotta pay attention there but if you're using an actual diesel battery with a fairly efficient piece of equipment you would be amazed at how long that diesel batteries gonna run that you know energy super So the Motorola's for instance, you're still probably looking at maybe $14, $12, up to $20 a radio for a handheld. However, I have seen packages, places that support Chrysler that are sub-manufacturing companies where they have radios and they're disposing of everything. I've even run into those for free, remember two years ago. One of the factories here was getting rid of everything, they walked out the back door i was there at the right time i said hey we do that will record all the old radios and but you look like those i can't think of a barge bill this will take care of those and those were all perfectly serviceable of some of them the batteries as expected because the rechargeables restarted i'll and we turned those right around the drop right to the hands of one of the colonial marine units over in the jackson area remember sold that you know employee immediately doesn't do it again just sitting on the shelf plot when you have a good a piece of equipment like that you need somebody just gonna go through and test everything that way nothing is caught you're not caught off guard last minute you know you want to find out what is the charge life on the existing batteries how many do i actually how many battery packs do i need to change out uh... remember if you do use the cell p cell or any of the standard batteries but it could be one two threes could be uh... if it'll take a rechargeable in that format it'll take a regular battery but you don't think don't plug it charging system and remember that if you do that you've got to be paying attention and keeping track of that uh... we don't need uh... groupie mess or anything burning up or boiling up inside your battery your battery casing just make for a method of validation later on the you don't want number one the chinese don't really very high or good quality finish on any small part of the the electrical connective system so we don't want any added or or or go gunk on there, it might be caustic, that is going to cause oxidation. It won't take long for there to be no metal there. So we're going to be thinking in advance. So when it comes to radios, you also have to be, if you're the radio geek or if you're the team leader, if you're the platoon leader or the platoon NCO, squad NCO, your job is to remind everybody to go through their tech. Since we've added tech to the inventory, we've got to be prepared make it part of your SOP. That the team leader is going to identify everybody, okay, if you've got this particular piece of equipment, battery change out, mark your batteries, grab your Sharpie. You may do this when you're in the secure point where you've actually been in contact, fall back, you've reactivated all your ammunition, you've reloaded all your ammo, you've changed out all your, you know, re-locked all your grenades. All your weapon systems are up to snuff. Next step is radio equipment. communications and signals are if you become a priority they're part of your maintenance car cost also in time everything is com you gotta do something to fix it in to raise her it's the blades always pricing no always need to be changed no matter what it is uh... again covered i think heavily enough again if you have the questions if you have any other questions like some of these pretty good that we had last night i got his emails liberty act provide dot net liberty act provide dot net w dot w dot w dot liberty act provide dot net and there's a number of different services out there you go to ebay uh... you can go even walmart sells frs radios by the way over my dear that you can walk right into walmart go to the back and have three to five uh... different models depending on how big the Wally world is that you go to. Not my first choice, but if you're in a hurry and you need a bunch of radios, go in, grab everything on the shelf, walk out with it, grab all the batteries you can too, et cetera, et cetera. You know, minimize to maximize. So, next, let's see, what was the other thing? Oh, oh, you know what? I do wanna touch on this. I'm gonna go, let me do it this way. I'm going here, there we go, drop this. go over if you can while you're listening if you go over to facebook on a regular computer on your phone it's more trouble it's difficult to worry about it if it is but if you're on a regular computer once you go over to farce book and or craigslist i don't care which one and keep an eye on the freebies for certain things that are going to be very useful for you guys are going to be doing mobile radio communications number one or for doing cashing now most of you would think about this But there's no reason not to expand on a cash. Once you've got the basics and you're pretty satisfied, you're not going to add any more for the moment. If you're going to upgrade and add to the cash without compromising what you've already buried by putting another cash in right there nearby, tools are a priority. uh... the reason i bring this up is if you go for instance the first book or if you go to craigslist and look for freebies or look for electric power tools electric battery battery powered uh... hand tools okay there's a number of different ways you can list it uh... what you want to look for first freebies look to see what's in the freebies uh... gone to a state sales i've gotten saws chisels hammers i just bought though i think uh... ten hammers uh... this last weekend for a dollar apiece now what could happen to most of those well the o d green and tactical paint going to get broken out after i clean everything up and on on russia finet looks like a little you know shade on it and if it does going to get cleaned up it washed off and then i'm going to painted and then it's going into the tactical pile now i want to hammer i want to talk uh... met chisel would be nice small hacksaw, hacksaw blades, in fact, go make a small utility breakthrough. Wire cutters, example, I got three decent wire cutters and I got two that are, they're rusted because they're cheaper. China's really nice dike type wire cutters. The ones that are Chinese, they're going to get cleaned up, they're going to get painted, they're going into the cash kit. they work just fine but i'm not gonna cry if i lose of a some happens right never come back for them i've cleaned them up i've painted them i oiled everything or greased ideal if you're gonna store for time uh... rather than oil open up those pliers and get right down as close as you can worry all into the working pivot points and then work those things and get the green in their words to lock it You want to go one step farther, you should ziplock bag each of the tools and when you put them into the cache inside a bigger bag, that way there's not much more moisture protection for everything. But hand tools are especially useful there. But here's another thing, you talk about being a radio geek. You're going to be improvising, adapting, and overcoming in the field, but you're going to need more than one kit. And ideally, like what we do at Naga-Hitcham and all the Ogam-Aranges and Amurk and whatever, is the guys don't have to bring their tools because what we do is you designate an area like uh... okay everybody were all looking for battery tools if we run into this model milwaukee's all the milwaukee's we run into go over here to emerson uh... camp emmerich is going to get the uh... uh... what he was next on the list porter cable okay the porter cable tools are going over there we find a battery packs you find any battery chargers you find It all goes there and it's all Porter Cable, it's all one model or one series of types of or a handful but they're all Porter Cable. The more Porter Cable you find that somebody's tossing out at a construction site, I get them like that all the time. Those all go to the pile with the Porter Cable tools. What do I have now? I've got three Porter Cable circular saws. I've got five cut off. I've got probably through seven conventional battery, no keyless chuck drills, hand drills. uh... guess what didn't cost me hardly anything cost me a little bit of time to get out of the truck when i get on all the way about dust them off clean them up take off any oxidation if there's anything that looks like it's going to be a question clean everything up anyway to make sure that you can find out what about there is any rust there break out the deep lubricant and clean everything up spray everything up to re-lubricate everything now set that off to the side after you do make sure it works or if it's that kind of stuff But if you go to Facebook Marketplace and you punch in free, you just never know what you're going to find. And I have gotten a bunch of hand tools. So what you do is you separate those and you send them on out to the different caches in other clusters and congratulations, you got yourself a pretty decent little emergency maintenance package. Now if you watch the freebies like one I was looking at here, There was a whole pile of tools. I actually got three different battery tool battery packs, battery pack systems in the last week here. I paid for one, but I got two more and they were free. And the smaller versions of the same unit, each one has one good battery and one or two iffy batteries. Well, guess what? One to another one of these freebie pickups out in the middle of nowhere the other day. And I got two more batteries. One good, one eh, got power, but it's going to be rebuilt. The important thing is I got the battery pack to rebuild it. That came with three chargers for two batteries, which means I've got a few more chargers put on a rack. And in this case, it's, these were black and Decker, so they go with a black and Decker pile. I've also got a nice little pack, a little pile of Milwaukee's running the same way as I mentioned. Makita's. i have been running in the mikitas and i don't know why it's that mikita matrix thing going on so what am i to do with somebody's well great my radio geek packages so that i can put up antennas put up antenna mounts run cable uh... cable connectors cut and snap wire if i got a chop or chop get through a fence to get to something I may have to disassemble or reassemble things. I've got a battery pack power system here, which by the way, some of these I've just not even worried about if they were like beat up. We take the back off, solder a couple of black and red cable out the back with alligator clips, put the butt of the box back on. and make a little fixture to clip into place where the battery normally would be and then make sure there's a little hole for the plug and congratulations what you've got is a run off the car battery powered, you know, battery powered tool. So instead of you having a battery pack, yeah, you do have a power line but for field use for the kind of work we're talking about you can do a 15 or 20 foot power cord that runs out to your rig and then whatever it is you're going to be working on modifying, chopping on, drilling, whatever, folding, spindling and mutilating, you got all the tools right there that you need. And you can leave them at different tactically dispersed locations so that you don't have to go run back somewhere. Or again, if you're looking at putting field vehicles together, you got that throwaway truck. I just got another Ford today for free. That Ford's going to be turned into a tactical support truck. It's going to be exactly what I'm talking about. It's going to be a maintenance truck for field out. It's all going to be hand-me-downs and it's all going to be good tools. In many cases, better made American tools rather than China Sport import. But it's going to be everything necessary, ones of, two of, three ofs, depending on what it is, and perishables, drill, blades, whatever. And if it's in the field, if there's something going on in the field and it's there, that's supporting that particular group. if we have to pick something or we have to modify or build something everything is there necessary to do it so just a heads up watch the freebies i'm looking at a pilot tools right here right now that i didn't get to today probably some of it's already gone but it's out there and it's uh... it's just all over the place pry bars crowbars bucket shovels um... pickaxes uh... sledgehammers my favorite first let me be your sledgehammer And when you do find the stuff, like I said, clean it up, paint it up, and it's done. You know, smiles, you know, smile and wave happy times. The other thing here real quick, you know, let's see, also, again, wire. Now, this is another thing we've talked about, but I've noticed, I've run into cabling, I've gotten a whole bunch of copper, either bare wire or I've gotten telephone wire, which is good for a lot of other special work. especially long long spools which is a problem really nice you know what i mean because when you have a long piece of wire you can just you know put a polish at the other end and move and while it's uh... didn't have to worry about radio controls and they'd one-off just fine and was everybody crashing and screaming over there all i think i should hit the other one well i got the rest of them here we go they're not dead they're just hurt real bad so anyway uh... war work to do for planning prevents piss poor Uh, let's do this. As a matter of fact, you have Ed right there. Hold on a second. Even as I speak. Even when I did that, I immediately do what I'm telling you. I was like, hey, go over. I do it real quick. I just found something. Now I'm, I won't probably get to in time, but treasure is out there waiting all over the place. Well, when I did get a box full of guns the other day, I did. When I got a bunch of freebies and I got a box full of guns yesterday, last night, as a matter of fact, it was a whole, it's right behind me, well, they were airsoft guns. But I did get a box full of guns, it was really kind of cool. Two Colts, a Beretta MP5, Mini Uzi slash, you know, knockoff of the Mac-10, the Israelis, you know, line their ass off, and a whole bunch of tactical gear. The tactical gear is going to get passed down to somebody because it's actual tactical gear. And the airsoft will go to somebody that is in need of maybe some printing aids. We'll see. Again, pay attention. You just never know what all you're going to find. Backpacks, tactical gear, old military equipment, and it's very useful. So anyway, let's do this. Edward, if you could, as a music request, I know we had some others, but guys, I got another one here. Besides, I love this. I do like this song. I know it's a promotional song, okay? But it's a... It could have been an armor song with different words, but it's really cool. The Dreadnoughts, the Jolly Rouge, okay? And Ed, if you could, it's my music request for today, because every once in a while, Mark needs to hear something he likes too, which by the way, I also like pretty much everything you guys request. The Dreadnoughts dash Jolly Rouge, if you could. And I assume, I really have done deep work on this, but there's a cider company, you know, they're doing hard cider. And for those of you who don't know the history of hard cider, when Prohibition came in, you do know that cider came under ATF control, right? You didn't know that? Did you know that cider came under ATF control? Even regular cider mills. came under ATF regulation when the bastards did all that garbage with prohibition. That's the whole story unto itself. We haven't talked about it in quite some time. But you know, a lot of people that have been in the industry that had apple orchards and cider mills hated the ATF. They hated them because they, back in the day when the pricks were really arrogant, they'd wag their weenie at everybody they could and they figured the apple orchards and the cider mills were easy targets to, you know, to... basically be arrogant again and it made a lot of enemies and a lot of people are in the special michigan guys were in the middle of apple country here but uh... the dreadnoughts jolly ruz if it's right there will play that whatever it shows up in the airpiece you might be stepping away for a moment or he's got enough to keep uh... the other thing here real quick here is uh... well let's do this copy stop If you do want to make a music request, liberty at provide.net. Liberty at provide.net. www.liberty at provide.net. So put as a title subject, music request. Do it in capitals. Do it in all caps. You're not shouting at me. It's easier for me to see when I'm looking at all the different email marks. Okay. And we got a caller. Who do we have? We got Tom. I know this doesn't have anything to do with communications, but at Harbor Freight they have 10 rows of electrical tape for $5. Oh excellent, okay. It's right now one of their sales. I believe so. They got a lot of things on sale there, but my brother went to Harbor Freight the other day and bought a couple things of electrical tape. He said they're like 10, like he said, 10 rows for $5. If anyone's got any other freights down by there, pick up the one of those things that everybody should have a roll in your tactical rig, not in your backpack. You can keep one there too. But you should always have a roll of electrical tape in your combat kit, in whatever your utility pocket is, along with other widgets. Because electrical tape is very handy. And it's pretty durable. It's not duct tape, but it's the next best thing. And it's amazing how well you can bind stuff up. and especially for everybody's carrying a role and all that actually very durable especially but uh... you know even if it is american-made but it was american-made three m it's a Cadillac of the bunch they used to be hard on all this field the companies are out there fighting for that that spot uh... any of it the electrical tape it's just too many things you can use it for you can get it black but they also make it in brown they make it in green they make it in any number of colors please don't use paint only because bright colors kind of bring you, you know, bring attention to you as we know. But the tactical colors, you just flat black or regular black electrical tape for locking down straps and everything you want to use electrical tape. Paper tape will stick, but paper tape is just harder and held to disassemble when the time comes if you want to re, you know, if you want to get rid of it and, you know, take it off. It has tendency to break down and bond to whatever surface, you know, it's attached to them. Paper itself breaks down and blends with the adhesive and the adhesive becomes more Malleable and works into the crystal and structure whatever it's sitting on plastic metal whatever So the late the the surface as it is through a tape is your first best choice now I know a lot of people me to say well Yeah friction tape and now that's been out. That's a plus minus thing There's arguments for and against friction tape, but still friction tape has its place So if you can get hold of friction tape cheap and have a roll of that, that'd be a good idea too. But you don't necessarily want that with a lot of your other equipment because you don't want it snagging and wearing. And friction tape does exactly what it's supposed to, what it describes. Friction. And, well, there's colored duct tape too, you know that. There's actually camouflaged and colored, if you're going to go duct tape. Silver's cheap, but if you can get a color it would be a good idea You know if that's where you spend again that money is saved You spend a little bit on the other stuff to make it work make all the rest of your work You know that much better meant more good or when the time comes Okay, and for Edward if you're there if you could and again, we got a we're running out of time So I got to see if I can pester it into a music request the dreadnoughts Dash it's a sea shanty kind of piece but uh... an acute little video that they did with it by the way to if you haven't seen it it's nothing fancy and uh... it's kind of uh... it's it's a to me it's like a it may go it would have made a good armor song to you know so follow me lads but uh... let's see what else is communications tuesday by the way and i'm working over here i just had other quick i can't do we are we don't have a time uh... just as a heads up i know i just got a flight from one of our friends as a spike over here uh... we'll see if we cover that on the eight o'clock are actually one of the other things uh... if you're going to be putting antennas up in advance or if you're going to be uh... radio fixturing anything guys is also remember you've got to weatherize it and this includes the antenna wire uh... if you don't know what a drip loop is you'll look it up most common mistake made is running line and running it talk to save wire You want to have a little flexibility, but you still need to lock it down. And by the way, the electrical tape that Tom just mentioned is really good for that. Okay? And it will handle the weather well, and if it does break down, it's cheap to just disconnect the old tape, re-tape it again. But wherever you can, and in more than one location, you need a drip loop, a drip point, so that you moisture as it runs down the wire, uh... it works kinda like a uh... uh... a kitchen sink pump the way they're set up ok have a best rapper you know jay trap or whatever depending on what you got there but an s trap what happens is the water will travel down the line which will always accumulate the rain and with snow when it comes down you drop the line and then come back up have a wherever you mean wherever you say come into the building or whatever Or if you're just moving, say, if you're moving from one pole, say from that to another pole and then into the building or you're running a line, you come down about a foot and then come back up. And that little loop, that little U that you just made, what's going to happen is any moisture coming down the line is going to follow the path of least resistance, obviously, but it's going to get to the bottom. And rather than following back up the wire, it's going to drop because gravity sucks. Okay, so it's going to work as a drip point. And what this does is it prevents the moisture from following the line into the building or over to the next jump. It's another reason you let a little bit of a sag rather than really tightening up your line, you leave just a little bit of a sag in the line. When moisture accumulates, it's weight. And what happens is it follows the path of least resistance based upon gravity. And when it gets to a certain point, then it whoop! chinese water tortures but it doesn't follow across to where you might have another connector you might have a transfer transformer box you might have a uh... but apple firebox there could be any number of things in the next step and or just uh... again that wall that everything's going into moisture goes into the wall great problems with building also eventually the wire wears But typically where it's connected to a building, it has a tendency to crack and become a problem. Well then moisture attracts there and then you start to have shorting, have failure to be able to transmit. So again, that's one of the three, you have those little... the process of your gonna put anything on the field you need to remember zip ties help to lock things in place also but also can keep that uh... drip where yet drip point were supposed to you are use your zip tire your electrical tape at the very base uh... where you have your rigid mostly math poll over your hang point is with your your you know whatever type of mass you have you go beyond that like we said come back up into the wall or to the next hanger and then out across maybe whatever the distance is, the final attachment point to the building or whatever. Here you have those drip points already calculated into your antenna length, or forgive me, your coax length. That's part of the cost of doing business right so that you don't fail your equipment. Anyway, let's see next, and there was one other item here. Oh yeah, well I went to Facebook and I screwed up on that, sorry about that. Over on Facebook, yes, there are a bunch of decent buys on radio rigs. Right now, for instance, here in Michigan, there are a couple, I know one of the guys went over and checked the one lot, there are a couple of estate sales where somebody is handling the estate for someone else and the guy was a ham radio operator. A bunch of really nice rigs are in the image there. So not only that, but older CB radios from the first generation, probably 23 channel probably, but bulkier radios that typically will be stronger, but also easier to fix, something to think about there. Smaller is not great when it comes to, oh, when you break it or something goes out on it, whether or not you're going to be able to do anything with it. But conventional full-size electrical slash component format, where you have a full-size traditional solid state, it's a lot easier with a solder gun or with a solder stick to get the simple work done and be back on the air within a reasonable period of time. A resistor goes or a transistor goes or a capacitor goes or a diode. you can physically do the work, cannibalize off something else or pull it out of your spare parts and make the unit work. So that's one of the reasons those older, larger boxes are kind of nice. And if you're going to use a car or mobile type radio for a base radio, you know, you know, say a cabin or a location, then these radios, their size doesn't make any difference. something to think about their role of the degree with my car could we go to the twenty things i can buy nowadays okay how about the truck or how about the uh... like with an rv or if you got a box or something these larger radios are also desirable desirable because they have again greater output earlier their stronger in transmission greater wattage so that's typical remember as the radios got newer one of the agreement by all of the radio companies with cb back when cb was big is that they would reduce the power out of the ball off the rig to the wire to the antenna for all of the standard units. That way, something I've talked about earlier, people wouldn't be stepping on each other and there'd be more room in general because you wouldn't be talking from Chicago to, say, Austin, Texas. Especially since you only wanted to talk to the guy in the truck a half a mile ahead of you. So what they did is they agreed to ratchet back the output. Now that's why people then paid money to customize their radio and open up all the system and put it back up to at least the standard production norm for the 23 channel era. But they could do better, typically, and many radios do. That's why a lot of the used stuff you get, man, that's more powerful than even my better rig. That's because somebody spent all the money in upgrading it. all again watch these estate sales face book marketplace crowd also craigslist has been a common stuff in the last couple of months and i'm sure they'll be more and you never know what you're gonna find it though sales you never know which you might run into have point-point dot dot you just never know uh... nothing uh... tactical gear uh... not just radios but equipment. In fact, a lot of times the guy was into both. If he was into radio, he's probably got a little interest in the paramilitary or military. And if the property is being disposed of, it could be a death in the family, or it could be somebody who's downsizing and retiring to a home, or maybe a movement with family, take advantage of that. That way the stuff goes to someone of mutual interest, a mutual liberty, interest, benefit. you pay them you trade digits for really essential stuff that you got for a good price and that's a to the wall of lieutenant want to have back and i don't think he wanted to lose leave his net also he throws a knife with a scabbard edamard like well all good trade no hat for a fighting knife uh... no complete chief and you know carrier yeah he got that out and i forgive me i should have kept that while we were on facebook is just a different things and we can have was really really what well and uh... we've been busy but uh... everything's plug in the way it's supposed to also uh... it was a simple eight regimental combat team corner marine militia and i had this yesterday for you to be actually without it uh... will keep doing it every day well if we get out tonight how that's how eight regimental combat team corner marine militias expanding their are mechanized group and they are recruiting right now so they are going to be out and about with any former marines that you know use your if you're listening and you got people that are you know in the area of interest then the eight is looking for full mech crew they're looking for armored truck drivers are they're going to be looking for team leaders are going to be looking for armored infantry that's what everybody will be mech infantry so If you get a chance, use your pen. If you've got any recommended individuals that are going to be sponsored, then you need to make contact. And they are looking at trying to finish this task before the end of the month. It's the 18th. And that means they've only got what? 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 days. That's two weeks at the most, but they plan on finishing up. That's recruiting. flushing out the units to the basic of vehicle upgrades and then they're going to start a build project are they using that unit uses ford uh... f one fifty for the disposable and they use the uh... heavier fords for their uh... projects so anyway that you got it that one foot but f one fifty four three point in the backyard they're interested by the way to uh... some group use dodge some you should be some use ford are so the eighth they're using ford for the time being because they found the most reasonably priced and they've been going out of state for next okay i think that's good for their now i can get out to other missions no i did not check guns and gadgets forgive me and again uh... we got back in little late uh... www dot got a face over to me youtube it's been a busy day anyway guns and gadgets on youtube And again, probably, we should be, I recommend that if you can, anybody that's out there, if you're going to be trying to educate people on what's going on with firearms, a lot of other people are getting a little lazy, you gotta watch that. If you're doing that kind of, let's see, oh, anyway, sorry about that, trying to do three things at once, guns and gadgets, there we go. uh... one of the things to remember is that uh... they also need help one person can't do it all by the bill keeping track of the other stuff that's going on okay uh... or or a couple of new ones that are just uh... posted so you know what check uh... u s supreme court you know that's unanimously rules warless gun confiscation is unconstitutional we played that particular one south carolina gets open carry and second amendment uh... sanctuary status so there's south carolina now and that's finally that the confirm uh... in addition that texas update constitutional carry whoever the hell it means nowadays and second amendment sanctuary state so we'll see what happens there now what this is is we're picking up where we know everybody that was you know crafter drawers and uh... we're terrified of the corona beer virus cam all of a sudden have rediscovered the path they kind of what we offered over to the boondocks so far away that you couldn't find him on the path anymore but now all the three discovered their manhood uh... maybe and uh... they're now proceeding with uh... the basic footwork that we were already in process of doing a year ago so we have wasted they wasted a year cuz after all we have to the election everything was going to be right is rare guess not Okay, now remember that this was going on all the stuff that required the you know to step up to the plate about the sanctuary or a resolution or You know, whatever depending on what title you wanted to use Was all under Trump now They should have proceeded but instead they let the distraction of the biological fake fake fake biological weapons attacks flash the corona beer virus scam plug-in and It deflected all that energy and wasted it Now, as far as, you know, the energy wasted with the BS that placed over that period of time, meanwhile, of course, the Communists were still burning down America, and they didn't worry too much about mass. They just made you cover their face and you wouldn't know who it was that was coming out and burning down your country. Weren't too worried about coughing on you or anything like that. So anyway, as it stands, that's two more states that are going to be on the, you know, color me green. I don't believe in the red and blue anymore because of color. patriot the red is supposed to be communist so the the boy boy jewish mob flip that intentionally create confusion so here's how it works color it green as in combat ready or at least combat prep now whether or not they're going to you know what defecate your spine out your bumhole the moment anything gets really serious well let's let's do it this way are they politicians yes all have they failed in the past always do you think that they're going to do something right this time around no so that real quick so we're here we agree that the idea is not out but as far as following through if the uh... ring knockers decide to go after the guns and do order do whatever with whatever element of attacking uh... the uh... bill of rights it's gonna be the patriot shoot the rest not gonna be these you know political wannabes they're just going through the motion and mauling the platitudes they feel it will make them relevant because they become irrelevant being no different from the democrats in every aspect of what part of the desperation re-entrenchment to make you believe that there's some fake and some right thing going on and that the fake right is as useless as well the communist left. So, spineless curbs are spineless curbs and they haven't changed. In fact, they were going right along with the idea they were going to kick in doors and red flag everybody, etc, etc, remember? So, I don't have any confidence in this except that it puts everybody on the right footing for when the people decide beyond the politicians. what needs to be done. That's how it works. I have a problem with it. I'll support anything that's moving this in the right direction, but I don't have any illusions in the process. And ain't no way in hell I trust any of them.

So, I'll see next and last. Oh, yeah, it was AIM Surplus. Everybody care. We were talking two different locations. Let's just do it this way. Classic Firearms and AIM Surplus. Classic Firearms and AIM Surplus both had some ammunition come in. Classic had the best price for AKM, oh, $7.62 by $0.39 at $0.35 a round. It may be gone.

And if you still haven't gotten something that shoots 7.62x39, find something. Whatever it is, it fits your wallet, because I know how that is too. nobody made a money course or did you get one of those bs stimulus checks or whatever kind of supposed to be take a big truck that might something in seven six two by thirty nine and you'll be happy That's the new world order
