Maybe the range isn’t what they thought it would be, maybe the audio doesn’t sound right, or maybe it just didn’t meet their overall expectations.

TWRS-206 – Will We Have Ham Antennas in HOAs in 2025?

We discuss the reintroduction of a bill proposed to Congress in 2023 to allow ham radio operators to erect antennas in deed restricted communities, and the grass roots effort to get it passed. We’ll also take some of your comments and questions from our blog, YouTube channel and our Forum at TwoWayRadioForum dot com. Intro :00 Billboard 1:15 New Bills Introduced to Allow Ham Radio Antennas in HOAs 1:30 In 2023 a bipartisan bill Titled Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act was introduced to the US House of Representatives. This bill proposed to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit the application of certain private land use restrictions to amateur station antennas in HOAs. It didn’t pass. Now, the bill is back, and with it a grassroots effort to push it through legislation from none other than the ARRL. How You Can Help Get The Bills Passed 37:00 1. Write Congress. The most direct action right now is to send letters to your Representative and both Senators using the ARRL tool at send-a-letter.org . Personalize your note with local emergency-comms experience if you have it. The ARRL page summarizes the bills, explains the need for their passage 2. Track the bills. Bookmark the Congress.gov pages for H.R. 1094 and S. 459 to monitor cosponsors and committee movement. Momentum builds when lawmakers see sustained constituent interest.

They recently introduced a new model called the DM-32UV that looks and feels high end and at a very low cost, and it’s DMR.

TWRS-203 – How Will the New PA Hands-Free Law Affect Mobile Radios?

We discuss the new Pennsylvania law that bans the use of handheld mobile devices and how it may affect two way radio operators across various services. We’ll also take some of your comments and questions from our blog, YouTube channel and our forum at twowayradioforum dot com. Intro :00 Billboard 1:10 Tariffs on Two Way Radios 1:25 On June 5 2025, Pennsylvania enacted Paul Miller’s Law. This new law bans the use of hand-held mobile devices in a vehicle, even when the vehicle is stationary. While many other states have hands-free laws, this one seems to be a little more concerning to mobile radio operators because it allows an exception for only one radio service and not the others. How will it affect the use of business, CB, GMRS and MURS mobile radio communications? Could this bring about the eventual end to on and off road mobile two way radios for those services as we know it? Hands-Free Options For Radios 20:06 We have several hands-free options for two way radios that may be affected by Paul Miller’s Law. Wouxun KG-XS20H Backorder Update 34:34 After a delay due to the tariff situation, the Wouxun KG-XS20H Tri-Band Mobile Amateur Radio is back in stock!
