@@hillbillytarzan Thanks ! Thanks for your purchase. Let me know. I have two of those antennas myself, and I was surprised when I got the first one that the thread was proprietary. None of my adapters that I already had would thread on to that stud. And I did not want to use that telescopic whip that came with it I have had great results with that antenna

Correct. No Ham license required. There is no RF involved in any way. There are no links or cross links or gateways to repeaters or RF simplex. This is just like Zello, only better. More geared towards the amateur community than Zello is.

@@raysult Thank you. My only concern would be the licensed ham not being very receptive to the unlicensed people.

Yes. The N58 and the N58 Plus are available in a specific U.S. version. Made to work just here in the United States and North America . Be sure to get the U.S. version !

@@adeshmanharramkissoon-amrs3528 No. No license needed. It is preferred to use an alphanumeric call sign. A call sign rather than a name or a handle

@@adeshmanharramkissoon-amrs3528 An SSB CB call sign would even be okay. And the CB club that I help manage issues call signs. They're just club call signs recognize around the world but not government issued because there's no license needed for CB. www.11meters.us If you go to that website, click on the Register tab

Yes you are correct. This is exactly an older 2950 board. A 2950 from about 2011 or 2012. It does have a real vfo on it unlike the 2950. And of course it has the touch screen. And yes I've been looking at these since it first came out in 2011. This is my second one.

@@N9KGC I've been watching your vids today and ironically I have the 2547 as well. Bought it used but a great radio. I'm sure it could stand to be tweaked by a real tech because I've been annoyed by the freaky freq counter as well. A lot of poeple are turning to the Stryker 955 but but until they produce a real base radio I just can't stomach the cheesy look in my opinion. That's why I've been looking at the 618. I love the black case and size and has a ham rig look. Thanks for replying sir.

@@PhoenixRising251 did you see my videos on that Galaxy 2547 where I showed how stable the frequency is after I got it all lined up ?

@@N9KGC I did sir. Like I said I need to get mine to a real CB tech, my old tech passed away a few years back. It'll be a 2 hour drive whenever I get a chance to make that trip. I'm sure mine would stabilize once it tune properly. I have an external freq counter but no sig-gen (yet)...

@@PhoenixRising251 Ahhhh. Ok I see... Yes out of the box I was a little disappointed with it. It was both off frequency cold and warmed up. Started off high on frequency and drifted low as it warmed up And the clarifier had to be off of 12:00 to actually be on center slot..... And besides all that the digital readout was off. When I put a good frequency counter on it I realize the internal display was wrong. So it had several things wrong with it. But it's 100% correct now. After about 7 minutes of being powered on it's on frequency both receive and transmit and it never drifts again

@@stevepomp Thank you !

@@ON3PLZ the plus version only available in bright green, come standard with the extended battery. The battery has a USBC charging port directly on the battery. So you can charge the battery while it's not attached to the radio. Which is very handy if you have The non-plus comes with the standard smaller battery. And yet the radio is a couple dollars more right now. And the standard battery does not have USBC charging port. You can only charge the radio in a desktop drop in

@@talkpodtech You're welcome! And thank YOU. Have you visited our Facebook group page for the N58 Plus ?? Please take a look at that Facebook group page if you can. The link is in this video description

@@davidgames5238 Thank you !

@@ON3PLZ what is not accessible ??

@@ON3PLZ The Facebook page ? I just clicked on that link. Works on both my phone and my tablet.

​@@N9KGC​ getting: This content isn't available right now When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

@@ON3PLZ just go to facebook.com and search for Talkpod N58 Plus. The group is absolutely there. Nothing has been deleted and everyone else that's tested it tells me that link works for them

@@ON3PLZ yes I see that you were able to log into the Facebook group. And you're very first post is already confrontational and a problem. We are working directly with Talkpod to promote that device not talk down about it. Why would you come on there and do what you did and you're very first post ?? And anyone that knows anything about these devices would know that it has Android 9. The same version of Android that my $1400.00 RFinder B1 Plus has

Yes, I’m on the FB group as well, don’t want miss anything!! I have a couple on Inrico’s T320 & T310. The 310 is good as it’s small enough to fit in your shirt pocket.

@@davidgames5238 I've had the Inrico t320 a while back. The N58 has the same size screen as the T320 (2.4 inch). The N58 is a little thicker. Especially with the big battery that comes on it. The regular N58 comes with a smaller standard battery. With the thicker extended battery it's slightly tougher to put in your pocket. But the battery lasts for days

@@davidgames5238 Yes, I agree that Talkpod has not been very proactive. They developed this whole platform but haven't done anything to inform people about it. Of all the other RUclips videos reviewing this N58, none of them mention the Virtual Amateur app. When I contacted those people that did the videos they had no idea what I was talking about

@@davidgames5238 Yes, that would be a great idea. I mean that IS a good idea. Maybe something like that can happen in the future

@@stuwho11 No problem Stu. Thank you ! When I get back home I might try doing the video again. I'll call you first to see if you're around. But I won't be back for another hour

@@Ham-Radio-3.0 No. An amateur/ ham license is NOT required Are you using Zello on your Talkpod ?

​not a great love of Zello , i prefer Peanut and echolink

@@Ham-Radio-3.0 Ahhhhh. Yes. I have used peanut in the past. Not much lately. We use EchoLink regularly. And Zello. And DVswitch. DVswitch is amazing ! Check out our Zello Group at www.zmr.us

@@Ham-Radio-3.0 We have 3 Zello channels. One of the 3 requires a ham license. The main one does not. www.zello.com/851405

I have my our own peanut room that I really want to promote more

@@JoshsHobbyShed Yes, I like it so far. Also Stu from New York, WA2JNF, really likes his. Ralph's is having a little bit of an issue. But I'm sure he'll get it resolved.

@@VantasnerMeridian they should be on my website within the next week or two. Eventually they'll be on Amazon with my other products www.raymondsult.com

Hmmmm

@@VantasnerMeridian Be sure to watch part 2

Correct. They do not light up

@@N9KGC that’s unfortunate I wanted this as a mobile bad but night would be tough

@@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4 now the one I had in that video was the first generation of that radio. There's been at least one if not two revisions or variations of that. It might be worth checking out the newest one to see if they've changed those buttons to where they light up

@@N9KGC the 5555NII

@@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4 5555N2Plus

I think it's still worth it. The Diamond is twice the price. There are some advantages to the Diamond.... It uses a more standard thread so you can change that whip. I made an adapter at where I work. I work at a machine shop, I was able to make an adapter so I can put different whips on there. But I still use the telescopic whip that came with it sometimes. It works fine. And I actually like the antenna so much that I bought a second one and use it at my house on the metal carport in addition to my wire antennas

Yes the new 29 does . And so this 2547. I should have demonstrated that too. I forgot about the variable tone adjustment

Galaxy noise filter works great for SSB the most,turn tone to far left.

It comes with two telescopic whips. One of them works a little better for 6 m. And the other one works better on 80 m. I have used both telescopic whips while driving without any real problem at all. Currently I have one on there that's non-telescopic but I made an adapter that slips over one of the telescopic ones when it's down all the way. When fully retracted it's only about 8 in or 9 in long. And my adapter slips over that tightens up with two set screws and then you can thread anything you want into that adapter. I currently have a 50 inch stainless steel whip on there

I have used a magnet Mount antenna with this radio but only on 10 meters. I have never used a magnet mount for other HF bands with this radio or any HF mobile that I've had.

I would absolutely NOT connect this device to the 7300 to use the PTT active switching. The circuitry in these inexpensive devices like this cannot be trusted with something like the 7300.

I will try to do a video showing the radios installed in my Ford F-150. Thanks for watching 👍

If you have the NEW version of the 5555N then yes it will do 60 to 70 watts. The old original version does less.
