the link has lots of good info. About 45 minutes long so if you have a short attention span,... it & comms may not be for you. He does leave out much the closer to the chest stuff, but once you get your feet wet you'll learn the hows & whys.
If you are just getting into or thinking about getting into comms,

Understanding the why is as important as knowing the how. A fellow could do worse than deep study of signals and coding during WW2 and Vietnam. Lots of very good unclassified lessons on “why”. Knowing current technology gives the how.
SIGINT is a deep river with dangerous currents.
Related, we recently had a MIJI problem on our club repeater. Didn’t take long for the hunters to track down the fox and get it sorted. It is never good to identify using other people’s call; no one appreciates identity theft.

One of the reasons some clubs (and Gov's )are now finger printing every Tx emission, and attaching same to call signs. Most of those causing those issues, do not know how to change the print.
Man, been awhile. Hope to get down sometime this year to see kids & grand-kids, and if you are free we could catch up? You still instructing?
@j-huskey (and crew) is deep into 22 these days but that fever has not effected me,...yet.
You get down here we will BBQ, shoot and shoot the poop. Actually teaching more these days. My best buddy passed a month ago and I have dropped myself back into teaching more classes
That goes for Huskey as well

Yep, much easier to key up, than running while lugging iron & absorbing recoil. Albeit more expensive to stay current, I do believe.
I lost one that would bring his own shovel, at 0230 a few months ago, as well. Those types are hard to come by and always leave a huge hole in ones heart,... Did the same went deeper into a few things, to try and off set it.
Well old friend looking better than me is not a high bar. Lol
No kidding. Sorry to here that
My buddy John Rusyn was that guy. He did six fifteen month deployments between Iraq and Afghanistan. He kept volunteering to go back. He was always there when I needed.
What?
That's only because your younger and your,... mileage,... is slow in catching up
Great, I'm sure he won't have any trouble. Radio is challenging but allows freedom to source first hand info from all over this rock. Once he learns to make most or all of his own gear, it is so much more rewarding in two ways. The cost drops like a rock, and he will have a life long useful skill set few others have.
