After soldering I didn't. But next time I use antenna more permanently I will put bigger flat washer for sure.

Just went to your channel and subscribed. cool tool.

@@myszaca Glad u like it mate & Thanks for Subscribing 🙏

What do you mean? Digimike didn't work with McKinley radio ?

@@myszaca Yes, the part on FM everything was fine and then on the USB LSB I noticed that only rubbish came through, nothing was understandable anymore, modulator on device broken, with the original mic it worked great!

Interesting, I have friends using same set-up for months and no issues. Sorry to hear that.

@@myszaca OK, yes, I'm also surprised because the MIC shouldn't cause any problems, but apparently I got a part that wasn't really OK!

Well I didn't. I had this rods so I used them. Total experimental project. Hard to get any data if it works or not, Someone commented to use 3 feet long and maybe copper rods etc. I just got original groundplane for it made by Solarcon and I will install it. Maybe I get some data from my nano vna and see if there are any swr changes 🤔 etc Supposedly 1/2 wave antenna doesn't need groundplane. 73.

@@myszaca gotcha, I’ve seen some videos indicating radials should be 1\4 wave long and 135 degrees down from the vertical ? I’m running the Antron 99 with ground plane kit at 36feet to the base in a heavily wooded area and I’m amazed at the DXing I can do. Thx for the update. UDX-3030 👍

So you got the ground plane made by Solarcon with the ring?

@@myszaca I did, I ran it for about 6 months without and just installed it recently at the summer QTH. It’s working really well considering I’ve got 60-80 ft high tree line around me here in the woods. Probably should’ve added it sooner. 🤷‍♂️ In the 70s I ran a 1/2 wave super mag with radials at 90 degrees with some success. I think you’ll like the Antron radial kit. 👍

@@UDX-3030 Nice. I had 1/2 wave President Black pirate ☠️ antenna that came with 90 degree groundplane. Thats why I did this one. Also I did seperate antenna from the mast, swr dropped little bit more for some reason. 73, so far today I have nothing but crickets on 38 😄.

Thanks for the comment. Like they say live and learn 😄. I am sure more people will learn about this extra tool in this cheap swr meter. I couldn't find any info so I posted that video. Thanks for explanation 👍. 73

not sure about that. google your model number and maybe somone else did video for your model.

So far I have no issues with my power supply. Works fine.

Radials are really more about ERP, not SWR.

You and me both!

hahaha Guns&Radios with Guns&Roses 🤣. Good times for sure. 73

It is 10 meter radio. What's not working? weather channels ?

@@myszaca weather channels are on VHF band - so this radio has VHF receiver built in. I have checked this and that's true. Weather channels do not work in Poland, but I used hand VHF radio and transmited on one of these channels for a while, and the radio received my modulation.

@@sebastiandziarmaga-dziayns3028 Got it. Probably has reciver for it. I think Radioaddity qt40 has option to add different frequency also. This one can't do much with that part of the radio. At least I dont know anything about it. I guess I may have to do some research and see what people came up with.

They have software for it on there website. Go to support then radioaddity then others then choose QT60 and 💥 software download with manual download will pop-up. 73.

Interesting idea. I don't have any problem to communicate with local stations at this moment. Maybe when conditions will change during summer i will see some changes. Time will show. 73.

Yeah, skip sometimes blows my mind 😄. 102 inch whip antenna doing the job. 73

Thanks for the comment. Most people say A-99 doesn't need groundplane but i did it just for fun and i did that ground plane because i saw it in 80s in Europe on Black Pirate antenna. I bought Solarcon Ground plane A-99CK just for testing and Yeah at some point i will make video with RigExpert to see if anything changes when Solarcon A99 is bearfoot and with ground plane etc. I did isolate Antron from my mast and i think that changed how it behaves with ground plane, but that could be my imagination also 😄. Very hard to collect data when you do dxing with skip, to many veriations etc. 73

No warranty on this Anytone radios in USA. You have to send it to China and thats a problem. If you looking for one get Radioaddity QT-60 from good source (scottsradios.com)and they have warranty in USA, at least for now. 73

Thanks Z28. It's all about testing and getting some kind of data to compare stuff etc. fun fun fun 😄.73

As on the video you can see Silver Cobra Speaker by the radio. That's the one I use. 73.

@@myszaca Thanks a lot my friend. 73s 😀

For sure at some point I will get that book and read it. I have good local group of cb guys in my area and we share experiences and knowledge so it's lot of fun and we are tinkering with antennas etc. I jus bought DIY 9:1 unun kit from Ama... and I will build one so I can run 41' random wire antenna and listen other frequencies etc. We see how it goes, I may do raw video on it 😅. I hope we get that short skip soon. Good luck with DXing and 73 for now.

Thank you! Cheers!

With programming software and cable. Software download from Anytone website and programming cable Amazon etc.

Thanks for correcting me. My English sometimes gets lost and I do mix terminology. I will correct that next time if i don't forget about it 😅. 73

So Far no regrets. Some like Icom 7300 better. Personal choice I guess.

haha😂,maybe soon i will 😅

@@myszaca I recieve Japanese Ham on my laundry dryer ruclips.net/video/bMxIv2AAGDc/видео.htmlsi=w-CclI77gqbQMWCg

@@myszaca i try received Japan on laundry dryer i show you

@@RadioMalopolska yeah. how?

@@myszaca i try to paste link .. and no way .

Yes I did desolder the wire. You can just cut the wire it and leave it like that. Yes it is AT-5555 N II.

Yeah i was blown away when I came up to the top and saw that. Windy as hell by the edge of the rim. 73.

One guy from Germany posted file for 3d printer. I change the size and printed smaller one. Kind of pain in the neck to figure that one but i made it work . 73

I could but lettering would be backwards, 73.

yeah. I use the knob all the time to change db settings for it. Not sure what optimal setting would be. thanks for advise. 73

Thanks 👍

Yeah it was fun. 73
