WORLD FIRST in Ham Radio, Outdoor decking becomes a Ham Radio Antenna!👍😎
มุมมอง 1.6K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hi all, I made my outdoor decking ( well the wire anyway) into a OCF Dipole, the resonant frequencies I targeted were on the 40 and 20 meter band. It just goes to show, you can make an antenna out of virtually any wire in any situation you have if you can improvise and adapt. The results were outstanding, lets take a look on how I did it!

Hi all, i recently purchased a CB Radio and the seller said i can have another one at no extra cost if I wanted it. Hell yeah, my day changed for the better when he dropped it of. I cannot believe my luck, a NOS President Grant which was the "STEAK KNIVES" along with the other radio I bought.
The Quansheng UV-K5 and the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM?🤷♀️🤔
มุมมอง 9796 หลายเดือนก่อน
Gi day all. I bought the Quansheng K5 to see what all the fuss was about.Great radio, don't get me wrong, however how can a radio that can be so heavily modified be FCC or ACMA approved? I am not the Ham Radio Fun Police but this radio raises some serious concerns about what it can do in the hands of a unqualified user and should we be encouraging this as Hams in the first place??
The COBRA 139XLR gets a FACELIFT!

มุมมอง 3956 หลายเดือนก่อน
Gi day viewers, as the title says its a mouthful. Hitadi was the importer into Australia, Pearce Simpson was the Brand name and the model is the Super Cheetah MK2. I have never seen the US equivalent of this radio so if someone knows what it is please drop it in the comments. Lets take a look.

GE CB Radio,model number 3-5826,Paradise by the DASHBOARD Lights.
มุมมอง 2808 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey viewers, I purchased this recently, not the best one i have seen but as these "C" models are getting harder to find, i think it was well worth it? The most unique feature of this radio is the lights underneath the bezel shining down on the faceplate.
Communications Power Inc CP 2000 base station, the return!
มุมมอง 4018 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hi all, I sold this CP 2000 and its come back for a look over due to my ignorance of not completely checking to make sure it was working properly, i had the extra channels removed and this may have caused some of the problems. Its now fixed and its awesome, lets take a look.

Gi day viewers, a follow up video on the Ham Geek MT8900 manufactured by Motorola or is it? Something tells me its not,100% Genuine fake? It looks legit enough at first glance so lets dive into this little ripper of a radio for what it costs no matter who made it.

I refuse to buy radio equipment from eBay. I been ripped off twice when the radios I purchased did not work as described. One wasn’t even the one pictured. It was the old bait and switch. I reported it but of course nothing was done about it. Never again!!!!!!
Yes, i have stopped buying for now too.
73s UDX358
I own two of these in excellent condition, what do you think they would sell for today?
In australia-$300+
I also have an FT-102. I love it. The transmitted audio is wonderfull.
Actually this board was made by Toshiba. This is not the Dynascan board with the 858 chip.
This is the same board used in the browning Baron mobile & Tram Diamond 62. Underwhelming radio.
How is the setting for duplex.. My radio MT_8900..?
148gtl dx/360fm is my favourite.
I have one and it really is the best.
Looks like it needs recapped and maybe tweaked a bit so for a couple hundred a good tech should be able to make it right..
Tengo un super base que no receciona agradesco una ayuda para repararlo saulos desde punto falcon vzla
is it a repeater?
No.
Saya baru saja membelinya MT 8900 dan saya memasangnya di kamar Saya di jakarta Indonesia.
They work good, i am surprised.👍👍
I have a tiawan model. 1988. Very clean. Like new with minor signs of use. Did a recap and alignment on it about a year ago. Good to go for another 30+ years. Great radios.
I just got a IC-7000 I really like it. I’ll keep it , learned a long time ago not to sell anything I have because I always regret it later on.
In the UK I would say that the 148GTLDX were the best and those radios that were customised by Pete & John Newton, which they called the Jentec Mk4 (Cobra 148GTLDX as its base) is my top radio of all time. Sadly I had one many years ago and it was stolen and I have been unable to replace it to date. These radios are very much sort after still and are the golden goal of many radio collectors. I have a couple of 148GTLDX (Philippines) and they still work amazingly and they have an amazing receive, and kick arse with other radios like Galaxy and the SS9900 etc. Thanks for the video @vkradio hopefully I will speak to you on the bands.
Your end review how is it now after the video keep going strong brother ki4zqy here
The answer is "NO".
Harsh, but fair.
Do you know mic wiring for D104 ?
Unfortunately, this radio has a poor quality receiver on short waves. I had this radio for 15 years. Of course, in 2009 it was a good radio. But compared to others, the radio worked below average expectations. Difficult menu operation. A big advantage was the multi-band radio. But who needs it on a daily basis? I sold it without regret until these years.
Thanks for your comments, its hard get everything into such a small form factor.
If you use an external antenna... How is the RX/Receive...?? Is it Sensitive...?? (for VHF) Thx Sir
Nice looking rig these. I’ve been keeping an eye out for a nice looking one for a while now
Mine wasn't displaying everytime i turn it on. Why is that?
It should do,faulty?
I've wanted one of these for a long time, but circumstances dictated otherwise. I have a couple of IC-706s, and was looking for an IC-7000. I thought I'd found one for a good price when an FT-991 became available at the same price, so I bought that. I have two QTHs so I then started looking for IC-7000s again. And again, an FT-991 came up for less than the IC-7000, so I now have an FT-991 in each QTH and continue to use my IC-706s as portable sets! I am still keeping an eye out just in case a bargain IC-7000 should come up!
Why is the scanning slow? Can it be sped up quicker than 5s?
Unfortunately not.
858 😅😅😅
cuidado com os parafuzos do suporte eles sao grande demais.
My favourite CB radio as well!...
Can’t you speaka de English 😂😂😂
Mud duck 🦆 😂😂😂
138 xlr is the best 😂😂😂
Whath kind of IC use for trasmit /receive ?
Not sure
I have a problem, the radio won't work with a black screen, previously it was still working... can anyone provide a solution?
I have the exact same one but with Abbree branding ... Abbree AR-2520 w/gps ... so I would say it's a mass brand radio and not Motorola or Abbree at all
Agreed Sir.
❤JUST what I was looking for, a long time, RIPPER! Thankyou from a new bie. More more LOVE the setup, birds & garden. Can i come visit😊 Cheers 73s 9V1KM KK7QGL Singapore
This was my first amp back in 1984. I sure wish I could have another one.
Very nice and rare radio. In fact, I do have one since the early 80's and I am now in the process of recapping it.
Whats the different between this & leixen 898sp
Hello can I push more than 50w
Not to my knowledge.
i have the superstar 360fm with the uniden PB010AB chassis which is the same as the cobra 148 gtl dx and it can pull out weaker stations better than my £2000 hf radio and for a radio that's now 43 years old that's amazing and I'll never part with it.
Yes, the filters in CB radios are only for that band, i have the same thing happen with some of my CB's outperforming on Rx my Ham radios.👍👍
I miss my TS-830 on the bench. I've owned 4 of them. My need the Band waffers cleaned, and the board screws loosened and retightened, and or add the star washers under them. The VFO tends to drift a bit. I have 2 TS-530's as well, a TS-930, TS-130, and a TS-50. I should have never parted with the station accessories. I even had the Scope, but I don't recall ever using it. N9XFX
Good ones are still out there mate!
Shit mate….. I forgot to add the cpi 2000 to that list. What a radio !!!!
How much? Because these may be good for making mini size, emergency repeaters!? Or a base station! Looking forward to the follow-up video. Thanks.
Buy several more, if they are any good. Then ask Motorola if they really make them. 😅

Hi, friend. Do you know how the ICOM IC-211E opens the frequency? Mine only goes from 144 to 146Mhz and I want to have more open bands. And what about placing a subtone module for repeaters? Thanks for everything 73 from EA2BDR
You must have a model from Japan or Europe?
I bought it in Spain, Europe in approximately 1985. I think it will be the model for Europe@@vkradio1656
