Welcome to the first video on this channel, While this isn't exclusively a Ham channel I'm planning to feature a lot of them! The Ailunce HD1 DMR radio is an oldie, but is it a goodie? In this part I put it through a barrage of tests including freezing it, cooking it and handing it to a 300lb CB'er to try and tear it apart with his bare hands. I also call CQ on a repeater.... You have been warned.

This video isn't for everybody, I'm not trying to make videos for the whole community, I'm trying to do something a bit different so there will be the odd naughty word or silly remark made in my videos.

Thanks to Big Jim, BBC Radio's Matt Plumb for providing some production assistance and Leigh (M0ZKT) who has a YouTube channel (K23 Outdoors and Amateur Radio- M0KZT) that you can check out if you like manly wilderness-type stuff.

No radios were substantively harmed in the making of this video, just a bit beaten up!

Thanks for watching, please drop me a comment good or bad - I'm robust enough to handle it.
