Mobile Signals: Ham Radio Meets Modern Cars

Live Free and Ham Podcast

Ever wondered why you can't control your ham radio through your car's infotainment system? We'll explore this and much more in this engaging episode of Live Free and Ham! We'll kick things off by catching up on the latest happenings, including Todd's wild baseball weekend and the memorable chaos brought about by the Hammered Clubhouse. Plus, check out the buzz around our new merch, especially the Hostile Takeover shirts, and don't forget to mark your calendars for our August live stream featuring the return of the renowned Mark Halibut from Halibut Electronics.
Join us for some fun and informative chatter from the Amateur Radio Clubhouse. We’ll challenge your geography knowledge with a quiz on the mysterious Line A and celebrate the milestones of new amateur radio licensees. Despite the challenging band conditions due to solar activity, we share the thrill of making that rare mobile contact and discuss the joys of setting up HF in your truck. For those who love playing radio even when the skies aren’t perfect, this segment is for you.
Our deep dive into in-vehicle radio integration covers the frustrations and potential of merging ham radio with modern car technology. Discover why major manufacturers like Yaesu and Icom haven’t jumped on the infotainment bandwagon and the hurdles of integrating standardized Bluetooth into radios. We’ll also reflect on Tesla's controversial removal of AM radio, the innovative solutions by independent developers, and K-Murder’s latest solar panel experiments. This episode promises an insightful discussion that every radio enthusiast won't want to miss!
