Thank you for choosing to download the Ham Radio two point zero audio podcast RIP. This is the audio taken out of a video or a livestream I did recently. You can catch all my videos on YouTube Ham Radio two point zero and catch us live every Sunday night at seven pm Central Standard Time for a different topic each week. Thank you for the support, and thank you for being a member of the community. It is the season for mystery boxes.

I did a video about a main trading company mystery box, of which I actually bought last year. Also that was a nice surprise. So I just googled Ham Radio mystery box and what comes up? But another website called r w Antenna's. Their website says they've been in business since nineteen eighty two. So how do I not know who they are? I don't know. But we're going to open their fifty dollars mystery box right now. So this the

website right here. They've actually got a forty, ten, twenty fifty, and thirty, so ten, twenty, thirty, forty and fifty dollars mystery box and I'm like, well, the main trading company mystery box that I opened was twenty five dollars. It might have been thirty. I think it was twenty five dollars, so I thought, you know what, I'm gonna get a little bit something, something, a little bit bigger. I also

looked at the gigaparts two hundred and fifty dollars mystery box. Maybe maybe I don't know, maybe, but I got but I got this in the mail just like two days ago, and it's actually like a bag. I opened it up on the end here because I'm like, oh, is there a box inside of here? No, there's not There's not a box inside of here, So I didn't really take any I took one thing out and then I put it back in and realized, Okay, I want to open this

on camera because I want to be surprised by what's in here. So I don't know, So let me take Mezzi and PLOMMEI scissors here and open this thing up right there. Rwntennistore dot com says they've been in business since nineteen eighty two, and uh, they've got some holiday specials on the front of their website going on right now, so I'm probably going to start adding them to my Friday shopping video. All right, there's a Balfang cable programming cable

with a K connector right there, and the CD. All the times that I've installed drivers for Balfang, I've never needed the CD, but sometimes you need the CD, so I'm told. Anyway, this is a patch cable with an SO two thirty nine on one end and a SMA female on the other end, so that might come in useful for some things. And here's a UV five R. And there's a UV five R right there, two meters seventy centimeter actual UV five R right there, and that's what that's what's

in there is a UV five R and there's nothing else in there. So hmmm, is that worth fifty bucks? Let me make sure I let make sure I got the right thing here. Okay, Well, there was a okay, mystery box special. There was a five or a ten percent discount, so I got it for forty five dollars. You know, that's probably about forty five dollars worth of stuff if you consider this one. He's got a price stag on this one of thirty five dollars. You can get him

cheaper than that on Amazon. These cables sell for about he's got a price tag on that of five dollars. I've seen these cables sell for fifteen dollars on some websites, and then he's got a price tag on this of twelve dollars, So twelve fifteen, Well that's okay. So by his prices, that's fifty bucks. Twelve plus three is fifteen plus thirty five is fifty. So that's a fifty dollars mystery box. A little bit overpriced on the balfang in my opinion, but I mean, if that's what he charges for him

then, and if he's selling him on his website, then okay. You know what, I wasn't really expecting to get anything big and special in a fifty dollars mystery box. I just wanted to open a mystery box for another video, so that's what I did here. So where are some other websites that you guys are buying mystery boxes from? I actually have another one right there that I got just like an owery. This one came in like Friday of last week. This one down here below me is came in earlier today

and I didn't know what it was. I couldn't remember. I opened it up, I'm like, oh, that's gonna be fun to open, so I'm gonna do another mystery box. But have you bought mystery boxes this season, this Black Friday, this holiday season? And if so, where put a comment? Blow Thanks
