How far can you talk on 2m FM simplex pedestrian mobile (even with a Baofeng)? https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/0feaad28-89f8-4e3d-b9e7-95239ec36bfb Trying to make FM simplex contacts with a handheld transceiver is a lost cause. Especially if it's a cheapie like a Baofeng. Or maybe it isn't. Find out in this video where I take a handheld with a homebrew antenna for a walk along the beach to try to make simplex contacts. Don't have a Baofeng?
