I installed the V1 mod version a while back and it works pretty good except for low volume. Installed the V2 board yesterday on another radio and I have a problem somewhere. The radio seems to work OK on VHF but when I switch to HF mode it doesn't work. There is hiss from speaker in AM but switching to SSB I get nothing. I did not change out the choke and cap like on the first version but I don't think that is the issue. I'll look for a bad connection on the board somewhere. I know the crystal is working form checking output with my scope. Might have to get another board.

Thanks for the great tutorial 🎉. I have one question: Were can I get the list whit all those channels? 73 from Romania

Please show your antenna

how to use single frekuensi on display ?

Boa noite meu amigo poderia me auxiliar o meu está com potência 0w mesmo na alta em VHF coloquei o vatimetro até estou procurando a saída mas não achei em lugar nem um se poder me ajudar

My hd3 has a receive delay when using repeaters if I key up on the local repeater and give my call sign then de key it takes a second to hear any thing back from the repeater any ideas

Hahahaha ... how could you survive for all these

From what I saw on another video, if using the existing antenna only, it is necessary to install the new choke and cap as in the original board mod. Otherwise the HF band signals suffer from attenuation. I'll be trying this mod soon.

It seems to be a thing that these Brit RUclipsrs don't read comments beyond the first day. Esp when they are trying to get subscribers

ขอบคุณที่ให้ความรู้ดีๆครับ

Hi Ben, I might have bricked mine during a firmware update, any thoughts on a hard reset that I could do to recover radio, if not, I'll just buy another one.

how do i lock out the busy ham repeater channels that i still want to have a mem for but not have it in the scan list ?

Nice video bud

Great video, just a reminder this is a $30 radio in the US. And your airband comparison had 2 different antennas? Am I missing something?

I see a complaint that airband reception is still poor. I wonder how they have implemented the 8.33kHz spacing? Are the makers, and indeed some users, aware that the published frequencies for an airport are not actually the transmit and receive frequencies (in most cases)? I would assume that a radio at this price level doesn't have a proper 8.33kHz system like an aircraft radio would have and that you will have set the radio to the actual frequencies e.g. if the published frequency is 132.035 MHz, the actual frequency being used is 132.0333 MHz.

Thanks! No problem using this method. Now to figure out the rest of the manual. Perhaps a series explaining the manual? That’d be helpful as I’m a visual learner…

Nice one Ben I have same USB sound card now and the radio is on its way so PC ops at home all good and guess what I have FT8CN as well and heard It can work very simple to connect to android Tablet. Up till now only decode what it hears but soon I shall have my G90 to experiment with. Great Video cheers 73👍

dumb question: you have 3 links HAM, GMRS, Unlocked as this radio does HAM, GMRS, Normal is there a reason for delineating all three separately or are all the firmware updates different?

How can a manufacturer of thousands of units not be aware of the frequency spacing of the different radio services their radios are designed to receive. The airband on these radios still sound terrible. Can these FM transceivers truly replicate AM in receive ? If they can’t, why include these services on the radio.

Link is 404 not working

Mine is arriving today!

Excellent video, I love this radio, it's always evolving. 73's WA2TWF

Link is 404 not working

Nice radio ben

I HAVE MY MAGIC K6 only one that can transmit full 4.5watts on Duel Side Band 11m, IJV 2.3R6 of something like that…

Thanks for posting Ben, So far I'm enjoying my Q900 Dean, KX3JXT

interesting device.. It have my attention and Im not even a radio enthusiast nor anything like that.

Dont know why my green light is always 'on' with egzumer

I replicated your test except on 14.074mhz 30% AM Modulation and with a TinySA Ultra. The V2 board still had its ears at ~ -120dbm and the V1 board dropped off at about 93dbm. Your results may vary :) I've ordered a few V2.5 boards, we'll see how they work. The last radio I modded has dual antenna's and I've tested that one at -124dbm. The 2nd antenna goes right into the daughter board bypassing the built in amp. I'm not sure if my Tint SA is hot, or what but those are my results.

You can put in your call by using keyboard via the usb plug

I have TD H3 FM radio reception is very poor, do you have a similar problem?

hello, I have the same radio, I need advice on battery percentages, they are not in the settings and I can't find them anywhere, is there any way to send or show advice on how to do this?

That is from kermit the frog. 😂 That is so ugly, holy shit. Collection this is british style. 😅 I remember fish and chips when i visit uk. Bad food. Bäh 🤮🙈

How do i know to download Ham, GMRS or Unlocked?

Easy work

You can also replace the speaker with a far better one

is there only this board needed? or firmware also need to be changed? good video mate

I can't get communication ports to work. Keeps saying open port fail. Any ideas?

Can it transmit AM?

Can i program this to listen to police and ems frequency??

If you ever do this again, I'd strongly suggest to skip the double-sided tape, especially under the 8-pin IC area of the FPC. Adding a vertical displacement (and non-planarity) there makes the soldering harder, and you lose the ability for the assembly to self-align under surface tension as the solder flows. Also, as others have commented, I personally would not use solder paste for this job (instead using solder wire and liquid flux from the syringe). In fact, I would never use solder paste unless it was absolutely necessary (e.g. reflowing using stencil printed paste) *and* I can give the board/assembly a full clean afterwards... you can easily get little particles of solder from the paste migrating to where they aren't wanted.

Very helpful, thanks from South Africa ZS6AKW 73

Most informative video. Thank you. 👍

From the features and easy to use perspective, this one is the best so far. But I feel the reception little bit weak compared to another firmware, even with another egzumer fork like Kamilss NuNu I used before. The sql seems the problem, I have intermittent sql open with this FW and no problem with another FW on same repeater. But when I open the monitor function the signal is strong. Sorry for bad English

I have a problem. When i press 0 radio is jammed. Where is solution? ;(

I'm with you on everything except lead free solder. I think it's garbage.

I'm not sure that firmware is factory. I don't know that it's not, but mine has that firmware and when i go to NOAA (f+5) i get a band scope. I've also found some differences in the menu. I bought a second radio and it has different firmware and the functions are as the manual says. If you know where i can get the firmware you're testing I'd like it as i prefer that version.

Lot better Ben keep doing what your doing and u will get better

Only for listening bit pointless
