I've been a licensed ham since 1983 (K5GLH) and just learned of network radios. I have to say that I love them. I think it is a great idea and I would recommend them for anyone.

I find this to be counterintuitive to the notion of HAM radio, even at 34. Thank you for the introduction.

Don't need a license because they really still that popular yet but give it time the fcc will be zooming in.

Can you use your phone as hotspot to use network radio instead on having plan? Are there any videos on actually setting up NR’s?

Yes you can. NR is simply a smartphone capable of Wi-Fi and LTE connection like any other typical phone. If you can operate your everyday smartphone, there’s no need for a tutorial.

The reason I got into ham radio was to be independent from the network. This stuff is backwards

Every time my area gets a stiff breeze, a wildland fighter, a wet winter, or an earthquake, the Amateur radio infrastructure fails immediately. The domestic Internet and the telephone system ( Especially after Hurricane Katrina) are FAR more robust than the Amateur systems. Sorry Hams, but your American Disaster recovery mission domestically will only last for a very short time after a disaster. We may be useful for a longer time for overseas missions for third-world applications ( You know, like Puerto Rico!)

A nice presentation. Unfortunately I cut my teeth on 'real' RF starting with CB, then GMRS repeaters in the '80s, then ham radio in the 90's. I can see this technology as a great way to NOT use conventional RF hobbies like ham radio, and another reason agencies like the FCC will use to try and reallocate the ham radio frequencies that are currently falling into dis-use. Why bother with tons of equipment, miles of coax and large antennas when you can buy one of these things and talk or text all over the world without the worry over tests and licensing? In southern california there exists hundreds of repeaters with only a scant few in actual use. The rest are falling off the air for many reasons. So why should I spend more money on a device to talk over the internet when all hams should be using and supporting the frequencies, clubs and repeaters already on the air, many of which are already connected to VoIP networks. The fate of ham radio is clearly sealed as a dated hobby that no kid finds fascinating anymore. good luck the next time the FCC decides to take away 2 meters, 222 mhz and 70 cm for commercial purposes!

stacy mc intyre, I feel your pain. I have been away from the amateur bands for over a quarter century and was recently given a dual band HT. I was shocked to find almost no activity on either 2M or 70cm in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area. The calendar on the most local club is limited to a couple of meetings a month and a couple of on air meets. A swap meet is planned by Fort Worth's group later this month. When I was involved back in the day, all local repeaters (Dayton, OH) were crazy busy and even a radio check was greeted and an ensuing rag chew could be expected. We even had connections with other clubs and 10M repeaters that allowed connection nationwide (I even contacted Gitmo!). The Dayton Hamvention was a flurry of activity that lasted well over 3 days, but is now held in a different town close by on a much limited basis. The lack of activity shows there is little actual interest in the hobby, that other aspects of life have crept in. Real everyday communications happen over the smart phones of the day and computers (laptops, pads, etc) far outstrip what is allowed on the ham bands. Apparently, INR has a much expanded capability over anything that is allowed on our bands and can be inclusive to this great hobby. I haven't looked at HF at all recently, so can't speak to the use of the various bands there, but if 2M/70cm is any indication, I suspect ham radio is falling into the "has been", "curiosity" spectrum. I still see great personal value in my license and will continue to maintain it and will most likely try to work my way back into the hobby, but INR might be that direction I turn. There are decided advantages in "real" RF, but there are disadvantages as well. Technology has advanced and, as hams, so should we. This is indeed a good presentation of NR and I will look into it further. The cost of the machinery appears far less than that of a decent station and takes up much less space, so I'm willing to at least consider such an investment, even in my retired and less than before income. :D

Here in Kansas, there are more repeaters on the air now than when I first licensed back in the late 1980s. And the number of kids getting their tickets is encouraging.
