I have a small secret...for all of you.....the comet 2x4 antenna also works in the 220 mhz band..🤫.....yes the 220 mhz band....you don't have to believe me....make you own test...🤔.... i live in a island..the sun, rein and the bad weather don't give a brake to this antenna also the salt of the sea that come's whit the wind,,,,😎....I have mine since 2005.... I always keep it clean

Great job, thanks for the video. My only issue is how do you work on a job like this with short pants on? LOL Thanks

Glad I don't have friends.

Bro you showed every thing but the damn hose. You don’t have to remove all that.

Watched 5 minutes of your a ding dong 😂 you are the bro science problem hahaha

You don't even use Superhet radios 😅😅

Doing it by flashlight? Why aren’t the room lights on?

G M R S channels are 15 repeater through 22 repeater and will be 45 watts out on my radio should be at least 40 since you did not read the book going into a 60 watt repeater on a towerand go 20 miles I am W R X N 824 out of Minneapolis Minn.

I don't use MURS really. I guess I could, I just haven't really. But I do use GMRS and they make a single band GMRS (or 70cm if you want) that is made with smaller ladder line but is a full slim jim not the trapped lower section of the dual bander. So it does benefit from the "folded dipole" in that the emission pattern is changed. It directs the radiation pattern more level with the horizon instead of upwards at whatever degrees. In practice you get better horizontal radiation. Disclaimer --> I don't know I'm not an expert but this info is what I have learned from my Internetting today.

THANK YOU FOR THE TEST,

I reversed the order of drawer to avoid those tabs on the slider-drawer altogether. Empty the drawers first. Especially the top one for this method.... I clicked the tabs on the inside of the metal rails of the big (lower/main) drawer, to pull it out. Then I removed it but sliding it out with its rails, careful to tuck them in while supporting the drawer as it is pulled out to not put pressure on those rails. With that drawer and rail removed. I then pulled forward the top drawer of the freezer conpartment, until it hangs down because the bottom drawer is gone. It's easier than fighting those tabs. Not everyone can do this without breaking something so... beware.

Thanks for great videos . I have a 99 7.3 project and your videos are very easy to watch. Thanks for posting and to glad you still have the 7.3 . I have a late 99 7.3 , 350

Are the inner and outter beearings aind races the same

Juat want to say thank you for posting this. Seems the only video up on it.

Curious how i search for the hubs and bearings? Same truck but extended cab

My Wouxun KG UV9G Pro GMRS does not perform in the real world any better than our Retevis NR30s, TDH3s, B00fwang UV5R or UV5G plus....and they all (except for the Retevis) use the same Smiley Antennas that you are using. In fact I have to say the Retevis NR30s usually out perform all of the others in simplex or repeater TX/RX

I know about the channels they do have channels 1-7 & 15-22 But NO repeaters they are not repeater capabilites

Hi, how do i replace the rotor only. Mine is 97 f350 4x4 and I could not find rotor and hub (where the wheels are bolted to) in one piece. I have the new rotors but i don't know how to remove the old hub

Only thing I would do different is use an old pad instead of the wood to push the pistons in on the caliper. Great video!

Thanks man. Just did my e350 super duty after watching your video. Very helpful

If you had to choose between the slimline and the 5/8 slim duck what are you choosing?

Did you like the slimline or the 5/8 slim duck more?

Is short 1/4" rachet amd socket works wonders for those 4 bolts

Am I the only one who knows you can put the lug posts of the hub through your dismounted wheel and this holds the hub steady when you torque the brake rotor on?

Okay, you made me do it. I have it and I like it.

Great video. I think a range test between the old and new would be a great comparison video. Maybe test them with other antennas also. Thanks! 1:36

empty the bins completely to avoid breakin your back like i have a couple times -- there's two 3/4" long 1/4" high plastic tabs (used to be metal) in the middle vertically and 3/4 the way back on the metal rail tracks that don't move when the door is open, one on either side... depress both tabs (carefully -- the new ones break) and pull the metal rail tracks completely out of the plastic rail supports, i.o.w., pull the freezer door out straight until the rail tracks come out of the plastic supports... i'll sometimes put the door on my feet and bend over and pull the rail tracks out of the plastic supports one at a time -- on the odd occasion where there's frozen liquid on the rail tracks and plastic supports - that ice will have to be defrosted before you can pull the metal tracks out

These cameras suck. Never again.

How much do I trim for GMRS Channel 19 I no longer have the sheet for it.

Thanks for this. Be nice to do the same test connected to a roof mount antenna. When cell coverage fails we use MURS in heavier timber and terrain and GMRS on a repeater over further distances. BAOFENG UV5R @4W

Watched several videos on this antenna. Ordering one for my pickup, I have a new HT, and I know an external antenna will help. I only have 2 repeaters near me, and they are linked. I do not want or need an antenna with 30ish inches in length....This one seems perfect. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! I got the 8W version just a couple of days ago. So far very impressed with the receiver! I always complain about direct conversion radios de-sensing on big antennas. It doesn't seem to happen with this one at all. Very good receive audio, too. According to my meter, it puts out ~7W on simplex and repeater GMRS channels. The only downside is that not all antennas fit. They seem to fit, but there is no RX or TX. Unfortunately, one of such antennas is the presumably "genuine" Nagoya 771G antenna from BTWR. The good news is that Smileys work well, so I can always use the telescopic Superstick with it if I want to. Thank you again!

What part of florida are you in?

What is the SWR with these antennae?

Newbie to GMRS / bought 2 GM30’s tried to use as radio to radio comms, with unsuccessful results. What am I doing wrong? User manual didn’t provide step by step set up instructions for a newbie, please help if you can.

Thanks for showing this. Why didn't you turn on the kitchen light?

After watching your video again, I ended up ordering one myself. Not that I "needed" another radio, but I was really curious. Got it this morning. Great receiver, just like you said. Did some online digging, and it looks like it's a close relative to the TYT TH-88/Retevis RT85 models. Those radios started using Beken chips instead of the 1846 chip found in ordinary Baofengs, Btechs, etc. Since there is no "birdie" at +275 kHz, I assume the chip is BK 4819. Since this radio does not aim to be a wide-band receiver like the UV-K5, it looks like they were able to implement some better RX filtering on 2m and 70cm. The radio receives very well on an outside mobile antenna (5/8) in my RF polluted environment. As always, thank you for your video!

You sold me on one. I typically run a quarterwave 2m antenna on my dual bander for it's broadbandedness. It will be the next antenna I buy.

4.2 Minutes of "I think this one is plastic?" eeeesh.

It’s easier to remove the caliper from the bracket first then take the bracket off

Google Earth will give accurate distance as the crow flies.

You "need" to l look at the Tidradio TD-H3. 👍🏻

Bought this antenna with an anytone mobile radio so I can start weather spotting with some of the guys at the radio club. I went with this combo because this is probably the only times I’d ever use it. Hopefully it does ok

Are the batteries swappable between the 2 radios?

Hello, what's the torque for bolts on hub to brake disc? Thks

Thanks a lot for the video. The one thing many HT owners want to know, and the one thing most of us don't have test equipment for. Thanks again, very helpful.

Cant best a 771G. I keep buying supposed better antennas than Nagoyas but keep going back to the Nagoya.

Did not fix mine

For me Smiley Antennas are over rated. I have Smiley and Nagoyas and my Nagoyas have outperformed the smileys for me.

Were u loosing fuel pressure? Is that why you replaced it
