Thanks, Richard. Still don’t fully understand the radio so I did well lol. And it was great to catch Simon he has a super TH-cam channel all about satellites.
Well done Chris. Very nice rig. I have the same microphone on my Retevis RT95, which can have an alignment issue between the microphone case and the actual element inside it, resulting in muffled audio. I had to drill out the 'mic' hole in the case slightly to alleviate this.
Touchy volume controls that can't be set low enough seem to be a common problem these days, now that today's rigs are usually using digital controls rather than analog pots. My Anytones suffer from the same problem. So did my TYT DMR radios, but OpenGD77 firmware has virtually eliminated the problem. The price of progress, I suppose!
Yes, the low volume is not too much of an issue. I have got to say things and point stuff out.That is not perfect. I can't just say everything is great. Friendly constructive criticism. But you're right. Most of these radios have the problem nowadays, because they use digital encoders. Thanks for watching
@@digitalanaloguehamradio found it, put it in memory mode and push and hold the volume button on which ever side you want to stay in memory mode or VFO mode you can have one side in memory mode and one in VFO mode or both in memory mode or both in VFO mode now if I can figure out how to get it to turn on on the same channel it was on when I shut it off I will be good to go. 73
Nice contact Chris. You were super clear at my side via ISS
awesome contact thx buddy
Absolutely brilliant! I must keep trying the ISS. I worked a couple on SO-50 a couple of days ago.
Thanks, mate.Yes, you should give it a try
Well done Chris, still never managed a contact through the ISS, so great work, and great to catch it whilst recording too. 73 de G0VCW.

Thanks mate. I appreciate the tips had good audio report so far and very impressed with it.
Well done Chris.👏
Great video Chris mate and thats a cracking looking little radio 👌
Thanks it's genuinely a great little radio.50w. All this was done on a two foot mobile antenna
Hey, thanks Nick. I nailed it first go brilliant.
Fantastic work Chris and simon. Seem like this will be a good radio for the sat boys. 👍🏽🤸🏽73
Thanks I genuinely liked this radio. Fairly simple, once you understand the abbreviations in the menu structure
Impressive Chris, making an ISS contact look very easy, which we know it isn’t, nice 👍
thx this was my first time using it with an aerial attached. thx for the comment
Brilliant. Well done mate.
Thanks, Mat appreciate that. This was on a 2 foot antenna on the mag mount great to catch Simon although I did text him beforehand lol
@@digitalanaloguehamradio it’s a prestigious log entry for anyone mate.
Awesome one Chris, Howdy to Simon M0YKS 👍
thx total sucess
Strange did not hear your sig on down link while you were transmitting?
Yes, I noticed that I think it’s because the squelch was up. A few minutes before that, I did a test and you heard the other vfo fine

@@digitalanaloguehamradioThanks for creating!
Nicely done Chris 👍
Thanks i'm very proud you've seen it
Is there a need for Squelch on the rx..?
Not when doing satellite mode but I enabled it, so it did not drown out my voice whilst making the video.
Chris Great one ..till next one M8
Thanks mate awesome
Does your turn on in memory mode? mine always turns on in VFO mode I must be missing a setting somewhere.
I'm not sure i'm not home at the moment. Check in the p c software. If there is a setting, come on on a certain channel or mode
