Does anyone know a way to change the RTTY reception parameters? So far I haven't managed to decode RTTY weather reports from the German weather service - DDH9 on 11039 kHz - with the internal decoder. These are sent out at 50 baud and 450 Hz shift. I can change the value under MENU>SET>FUNCTION>RTTY Shift, but when I call up the decoder again, it is set back to 170 Hz. Does anyone have a tip for this?

RS batteries were relatively expensive back in the day compared to other brands but had a major advantage - leaks were virtually unheard of, especially with the green ones (the lower priced red ones weren't so well sealed but were still decent). That made them a safe, reliable choice for test equipment, meters, calculators, weather stations and anything else relatively expensive where the battery is likely to be in place for an extended period. The low chance of leakage easily justified the price.

I’m on the fence about getting one. The fact that the raspberry pi is integrated is really a neat feature. Have you looked into installing Vara AC HF? Just started with digital modes, so if the vara modem could be loaded that would sweeten the choice of buying the rig. Anyway, thanks for posting the video, 73 N3BIL

I'm searching everywhere for a fix to make the digital display match the dial VFO. I see your radio is also off. Have you found a fix for that?

That's crazy it's so easy to fry the Yaesu with the DVI and the USB ports.

I've had mine 5000MP for one year and bought it used in perfect new condition and non smoker and i loved it and the only reason thwat i sold it was to get enough in the kitty to pay for a new 101MP and i can say that you have made a good choise by buying the 5000 but when ever you going to look for a new radio don't forget that you are in a way spoiled by the quality of the 5000 and so go for the 101MP. have a nice time with your 5000. greatings from the Netherlands.

Great video - thank you. I know this video is a year old but I'm trying to find out if the repeater settings are lost after updating the Main and DSP Firmware. I emailed Yaesu last week and they replied a factory reset is required after the updates and therefore previous repeater settings will be lost. Nowhere in the update docs does it say to do a factory reset, so I am questioning Yaesu's reply. Would rather not have to go through every setting page for 2 repeaters before the update gets done to them.

Wonder if there’s a place where we could buy these batteries still aftermarket

Thanks for the comparison. I'm considering a new base rig hopefully soon.

Does losing 3db using the 590 splitter feature for a laptop waterfall mean a weak signal would be 3db weaker and maybe no longer heard when the option is turned on?

I bought a 705 a couple weeks before my general test. Just happened it was the JARTS annual contest weekend. I was receiving from Japan, Russia, Bulgaria, Canada and many in US on a antenna not for 20M. I'm searching for a video to show me how messages are sent.

*********** I just bought this radio from EBay as an Estate sale, excellent condition, thank you for the video, I just changed the Battery and set the Clock '73 KC6VKV in Reno Nevada :-) :"-) *************

nice video! linear loading is another way to shorten the dipole legs, and that will not lower the bandwidth

I loved my TR-4. Don't know what happened to it. My folks must have sold it when I moved away.

CLASSIC RADIO!

Great video and a fine collection of radios. I have just picked up a TR4 that seems to work ok, apart from no RX audio on AM. I have just ordered some nice blue leds from your side of the pond, so that will be the first job on the list. Have fun!

Love these these old FT 101 series Great sound and Looks.🇳🇿👍

My favorite HF. Old School. Never fails.

If you want VHF and UHF get the 705. IMO 73

Thats cool! 73 de WA3RSL

Good job!

Very cool.

It's OPTIONAL to improve the frequency drift on the 590 in todays market? Insanity. I was getting quite interested in it until then. I'm currently looking for reasons to not get the FTDX10, but not finding any. Good overview of features and things to think about. Damn shame about the frequency drift of the 590 though - I saw it was quite bad in another video (100 Hz or more).

Thx so much for sharing this video on the sbitx! Your rig setup is the 1st one I have seen where someone runs a separate set of wires into the case to power the sbitx. Can you share your experience on powering your sbitx? Are you just running the wires to the internal contacts where that xt60 connector is attached? voltage range you are using to drive those wires? :) Appreciate it! --DJ KF0QZB 73

Thanks for the video. Does the decoder display when you send CW as well. I ask because I want to learn CW, but cant find a way of seeing what I am actually sending.

@2:08: Bioluminescent display would be a display that has living organisms in it to produce light! These are organic LEDs, so have a carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bond - not a living organic light source. Excellent rig, though. I enjoy using very much too. I hope you're still enjoying yours.

Will it run JS8CALL? I didn't see it on the drop down list. 73 Gerald KG0VA

In listening to the difference between them I found myself wondering if one has a typical 2.3KHz SSB filter whereas the richer sounding rig might have the 930/430 2.7KHz SSB filter.

My TS-180's output died slowly, dropped off over a week or so from ~100w down to maybe 1w. I presume it's a coupling capacitor, when I touch a certain inductor I see full 100w into the Brandon-load, but I'm not sure which coupling cap to replace. I mostly used the 180 through the shortened 11m 5/8 for 10m local traffic & QSOs, and I kept the Pro3 on the 40m/80m inv Vee. I don't have 50kw or a 130' high 12 element Yagi so I steer clear of 20m 😜 Have you any idea if there's a typical coupling capacitor I should begin with replacing? Thank you & 73

Nice radio I have one myself

Another outstanding piece of art!👍

Beautiful example!👍

I am intrigued. As a linux user. When the digital modes are configured is there a "builtin" audio and serial device that is used? Obviously there isn't anything plugged into the side? Or maybe the Rpi has a pi hat on it that does th audio and PTT? more likely

Also solved the problem for me. Thanks for this advise! .

Does this rig have a Noise Rejection function? If yes, how good is it? Thanks for the video and 73.

I know there are thousands of followers of the G90’s…However, I owned one for less than 6 months and was so happy to see it go….I believe it was the worst radio I have owned and I’ve been a ham for 60 + years…Screen was so hard to read and the menu was very confusing…Hope this comment doesn’t cause a lot of hate mail but that’s my experience…Looking forward to the 6300…Maybe it’ll be better…..Sorry…

Looks like a mini microwave ha ha

Ungly look , indian engineering😂

I experienced lots of noise and whistles from a RPi next to my radio, how is this performing from that perspective?

your volume is to low

I purchased one of the V2s at the first release. I found it missing some basics. I don't think it's ready for "prime time"

Was trying to figure out what software you added? Mine came loaded with all the same software.

Your demonstration of the CW filtering was fantastic! Thank you for sharing this video. Vy 73 de David AE4LH

Learn how to speak

Thank you for this comprehensive comparison. I've been using the IC-7300 since 2016 and I also have the 590 SG in my shack but i never will give it away...

I love all three of my sBitxs, DE, V2, and V3. I keep waiting for software updates but they are few and far between, still I love it.

Looks to me like you need to do a software update.

I think this is the future of ham radios - having a PC within them - so that all digital modes can be run from the radio without and external computer. Logging into the radio is also very useful. The Xiegu X6100 has similar capabilities. Good to see Farhan following/setting the trend. This could be a great radio for FreeDV (HF digital voice) work. 73 Ed DD5LP.

Is it v2 or v3? Did you tried CW?
