Had this clock for a few weeks now. Keeping good time w/o bluetooth to phone. Just use a single color.
Perfect size for next to the TV.
Runs off wall USB power. No batts. to leak - like killed the last one.
Temp reads like 3f too high.
All the Best, Jeff

I have been looking for something like this. It is to replace a 20 year old clock that still works fine…But is too small to read when I wake in the middle of the night. I think I will hold on to the old one. Somehow I don’t think this one will last as long. I did order though…

Its a disco clock. Love it.

I’ve seen that or something like that in videos and think they’re cool. I bought my GF a big alarm clock that is supposed to synch to the atomic clock, but it’s always a few minutes fast.

BAOFENG 5RM 10W (Upgrade of UV-5R) $20.27 using code VB5KSOJT

I am debating entering the world of handheld ham radios - I’ve been eyeballing the UV-5R Mini but there seem to be some limits to the bands it can access and the UI couldn’t be updated via Chirp when it was released…

Any idea if this model fills those gaps? If I’m gonna dip my toe in a whole new hobby, I’d love to maximize my capability while minimizing my layout.

1 Thank

Sorry. I don’t know the answer. This is reportedly an upgraded version of the UV-5R and the listing indicates that these are the upgrades to this model>

ā‘  8W upgraded to 10W power; ā‘” 999 storage channels; ā‘¢ 1.8-inch color display; ā‘£ Added stopwatch, power-on password management, DTMF, BCL, TOT functions; ⑤ One-key frequency copy function; ā‘„ Equipped with a 2500mAh large-capacity battery; ⑦ Supports multiple frequency bands (UFH/VHF/GMRS/FM /AM/NOAA)

Gotcha. I’ll take a look. Like any hobby these days - it’s easy to get overwhelmed with options!

Whatever you, dont buy a radio and use it foolishly. Get your ham radio technician license and learn about how radio works. Use it properly and then teach others. Dont think because its $20 it must be some toy. It can do a lot of good and it can do a lot of damage.

I’ll just be scanning frequencies, that’ll be enough fun at first. I do plan to get through the licensing process as soon as I can, it’s not terribly expensive and then I can play around a lot more.

I have no doubt there’s tons of folks running around using these kinds they’re just cheap Walmart walkies - they definitely are not.

Get the book and study for a month. Take the test. Its that easy. Its the #1 hobby if you like electronics.

Best of luck.

Thanks - I’m looking forward to it! I have a TON to learn.

8W upgraded to 10W is not much of an upgrade. IIRC, signal power falls off at the rate proportional to the inverse square of the distance, so 25% more power only gains 12% more range I believe.
