thanks Morton great video 73 from kb2uew

Great news for Norway (if you need any info about flashing or anything let me know) , 73 from CA2RXU ;)

Ive just ordered a couple of these, my workplace uses the old RT22, and ive read the data from the old radio and it seems like they are set up on the 462mhz frequency range, i believe the new model i have is 466mhz. I dont have the programming cable for these, but im guessing the frequency cant be changed?

Try frequency 434.855 with BW125kHz CR 4:7 SF 9. It's called "Polish frequency," but it's not used by ISM devices such as garage openers, electric meters, scooters, and so on.

we have something in common - the tin "elektroniklot" 😅 regards from germany

Please keep experimenting with Morten. I love low-cost ways for hams on a budget to experiment and learn. WA1KLI

Hi Morten! I do this with an M5Stack. It’s called the APRS cube. My ttgo is used for MeshCom (Meshtastic on Ham Bands). 73 de Juergen

This is REALLY cool stuff. Did similar test-drive today and got picket up by LB3QJ-11 a guesstimated 70km away! That's while driving! Oh, and the 20 in the power settings is annotated as dBm, at least in the web-configuration on my board, so that's 100mW, not 20mW.

pretty quick legislation adjustment! glad to see that a new playground is open in Norway on both mesh-type networks and "fixed" star-type infrastructures based on LoRA, even though the last version from Ricardo got "mobile" i-gates implemented..:) I will restart then my tracker on my car.

I'm using a USB sound card into my laptop, and finally found some useful settings: Speaker 10%. Mic 50%. On the radio: Vol 8, Filter full, AGC off, Vox on, Noise Gate 12. Only using JS8Call so far. Also, found some 4 pole 3.5mm plugs on Amazon, color coded for easy wiring (tip=red, 2nd=white ground), to any 3 pole 3.5mm plug (tip=wire, 3rd=ground).

Hi Morten, I did the same too, same Ttgo Lora board as a node and an Heltec V3 for the Tracker. I haven't connected the node to the Internet yet, it will be interesting to see your setup. 73, Steve

A vote for an instruction video

I can assure you that this kit works perfectly when you figure out an attachment point for an antenna. A 2016 article explains it all - search for "gough lui HEX3653" . Norway turned off FM transmissions whilst Ireland has turned off DAB transmissions - funny old world.

You did not test the + - W setting

Hi, we have a trouble with digirig mobile and IC-706MkIIG. With "full output" (all controls at 100%, including Windows Volume control) but IC-706 gives only about 0.5 watt out. Where to look for a fix?

Oh no! The forbidden measurement system. 25.4 is your friend for Standard measurements conversion in case anyone was wondering. Keep up the good work

I’ve used the 20m Hamstick on my car with a mag mount and an FT-817 with 5 watts CW for a POTA activation and had calls from as far away as Alaska. I love the simplicity 😀

I feel that you still did not give this antenna a chance. If you have an antenna analyzer, you can simply takeoff a bar or two to make that antenna tune 17, 15, 10, and six. I do it all the time and it’s my favorite antenna. I’m surprised the bank is the box that you get.

Wait, are you not supposed to do POTA during a contest weekend on like 20m? I did that this last weekend and it was *complicated* but I was able to activate my park and got the most contacts I've ever done in one trip.

You can use the CW-Key port as the Mic input, I have the same radio work well and I do FT8 using the VOX works well also with the VOX I use only two cables You do not need all that other junk to setup with

What in the name of Xenu made this fully licensed, wrist strap-donning, appliance operator think he could be funny????? 🤷

Is there a way to set the bandwidth on this device to either Wide or Narrow? N7MKY

Looking at the wiring I wonder , if a Signalink USB with a Yaesu type cable connector might do the trick,too..Wiring would be done at the jumpers area. Only one way to know! Only difference, if any, I have a red-corner USDR. Thanks for the helpful video !

According to the USDR manual online, the UART CAT control uses a 4 barrel connector: Tip = RXD, 2nd = TXD, 3rd = RST, 4th = GND. Hope this helps.

Morten, does that rubber stopper detach? I'd be concerned about the additional wind loading with that bulk on the tip. Also, threading a wire through it seems to be fiddly. Maybe a permanent loop could be arranged? For years we had just one carbon mast and now we have three to choose from, so that means there should be something for everyone. Personally, I'll stick with the carbon 6 for now. Thanks for sharing 😊

What the hell is this thing and why did youtube recommend it

Thanks, this is very helpful. BTW, I wish Retevis, TYT, Anytone, Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood et al would give ME a radio..... Nice Cat.

The FT8 song slaps!

Terrific puns.

Great review, Morten! The Lil Dude 6 is a fantastic mast. I got mine a few weeks back and so far it is working out great for me.

6:00 Actually, when the tuning is exactly centered, the BFO zero-beats against the carrier. For USB or LSB, you offset the tuning a little, up or down.

Hey Morten, you need some Tarp or Tent to hide underneath to stay dry if it starts raining. The WX App and Radars lying to us big time like the Politicians do. You did a fantastic Job. Uncle Günter enjoys watching your Content. Keep the good Stuff coming and have a nice Sunday Evening. 73 de Rhine River Maniac with the One Nice Voice 💯👍🙋‍♂

I have mine. i need to find time to go out and test it. Thanks for the video Mort! 73

Well made I am sure (pole and video). My issue with carbon fibre masts in general is that they tend to detune wires attached to them as verticals and are not great at enabling wire attached as a vertical to radiate. As a centre point of an inverted v I’d say they are fine, but that in itself does limit its use case. As an all round solution a 6m fibre glass pole would do the job better (in my imho and use case). Even if it would be a little heavier. 73

Not sure comparing a 10M DX Commander pole to a 6M pole is valid ! If you ignore the top 4M of the DXC then yes. 👍

Hey there I am sold out currently. I have three hundred more coming.And they should be on or about sale on black friday for the same price. I could give you a link where people could sign up to be alerted. When the item is back in stock, if you would like

Where do you turn on psk reporter???....??

pointless and meaningless! Of course it doesn't work!

I buy my cables pre-made (ABR) but good to have a reference.

hi morton , you forgot to include the part were you burn your fingers or the table with the iron ,, lol de mi0num

Excellent video, thank you! Although this is DMR radio and primarily designed for digital use and i get this. There are tons of videos about this radio online, but no one has tried to fully explore its capabilities only using it in Analogue mode only. From what ive read most of Analogue functions will not work unless you get digital id code programmed into radio first. This is total nonsense. Why didn't Ailunce made firmware where you can fully switch to DMR or Analogue??

didn't know the adapter PL for multiple sizes. cool thing. i don't solder the outer screen either but with these connectors i'd try to fold it back over the adapter and then screw the adapter in to get it pressed between adapter and connector. I'll have to order and try that. well done, Morten. 73

Ok… I admit it. Ham for almost 40 years… and never used the shrink wrap…. Head slap….duhhhhh😂 Thanks. Never assume you know everything?….. lol. Very simple. Not best way for all applications but for indoors light use?…. Excellent

Cómo lo programo ala frecuensia27665en español

Hi Morton. It looks like the shield is connected only by friction. I think this may be OK for use indoors and if the user is extremely gentle and does not pull on the coax. I've always soldered my shields with a very large 200w iron and very short duration, then immediately quenched the area with a wet rag to cool it so that the coax inside doesn't deform. Anyway, that's what has worked well for me over the years, so I thought I'd share. PTFE coax is also worth its weight in gold to anyone new to soldering RF connectors. It can take the heat extremely well. 73 OM Keep up the great work.

That was a major gripe for me when I started as a HAM. Everyone expected you me to know every kind of connector

When you load the app onto an iPhone, will it also be on your iPad?

Could this antenna be made with tape mesure instead of aluminum rods or what other rods coult be used ? Maybe coat hangers lol ? , also did you made the choke box as in the link ? Is it necessary?

Thank you for a useful and informative video. My interest has been piqued even more, and I will create an account to test if this is something for me. Looking forward to joining you at Halden Fortress this afternoon to learn more. 73! //SA6KOL

Im ded with music lol
