Videos which basically show an unboxing of an electronic item and little more seem to be extremely popular these days, possibly a stupid millennial thing, and they waste several minutes of time. It would be easy to spread all the pieces out on a table with the box prior to starting the video, quickly pan over them, quickly list them vocally or with text, then move on to how the item performs, its build quality, etc. The bigger question to me though is why all the darn DMR radio videos. DMR seems interesting at first, but soon you realize it is just a chat room via radio connection to the internet, and you hear the same few people every day calling CQ from around the globe. It gets old really quickly. I still prefer SSB on HF, but I guess the new crop techs who only learn the answers to the exam rather learn the hobby will never get off their backsides and qualify for SSB HF, much less know how to do it.

Grumpy old farts like you likely find disinterested opponents everywhere you look. I don't recall seeing any of your informative videos, nor have I visited your online store. By the way, configuring your DMR radio is much more difficult than switching your HF rig's mode to SSB. Good luck getting more boring and grumpy.

I purchased one of these from http://www.grapevineamateurradio.com. Can't wait to get it so I can give my GD77 away to a friend interested in DMR
