I tested my President McKinley using this tuner. The SWR on channel 20 was great at 1.15, but the efficiency was only 30%. I would think that an antenna with that low a SWR would be far more efficient than that! Is that really a thing, or is my new tuner not functioning properly. As you noted, the instructions are sparse!

Ive been looking at "Tid Radio" lately. Jim W6LG here on RUclips has an interesting video regarding both TiD and Baofeng radios and what he found regarding the two is quite interesting. A video definitely worth watching. Great review, and for the price, and entry-level Ham cant go wrong!🤠👍

I wouldn't listen to anything that gets circulated through the CB/Ham radio world, alot of information is "here-say or someones personal thoughts or ideas". My Father had an interesting way to go about doing things in the ham radio hobby, he always said, "add 10% to the bare minimum needed to operate a station", and that has always worked safely for me in the past 40 some years in the hobby, whether its power needed to run a rig, or length of coax or just about anything else, you will always have that little bit of extra cushion to play with. Great video and explanation to a neverending conundrum!🤠👍⚡🎙️

Nice review. Welcome back! We have the local NR7A repeater on 220.020 -1.6 Offset PL 123 Hz you might want to check out. It should cover where you live. I think only two others use it regularly. Keep the video coming!

Hey Ridge - Glad you're back from Hawaii. Hope you had a great time.

Nice little radio. Great price. 👍 73s from 775.

I thought 4 watts was the highest legal power

Might want to consider a TPO roof membrane before your OSB sheeting is destroyed.

Hello Nevada resident.

i dont think the caps are a problem

they are not holes. put the drill on the channel shaft go slow and spray the switch with tv tuner cleaner or deoxit

6:19 thats spatter from the wax or flux

same radio as a trc 47-48 and sears 934. at least very similar

its the pa switch I bet. work it 30 times then wind the the channel selector 30 40 times. squelch off volume up while you do it

Breaker breaker 1-9.. anybody got their ears onnnnnnn 😂

So stock my 980 won't over run my rm italy 500 it takes 1-6 watts

So they can be tuned? I just got one and a 500 watt amp

How the hell are uou reaching Australia???? 🦘🌏

Just bought one but wish I would've got a Washington or a George

Interesting antenna I don't think I have ever seen a PVC plastic pipe Di-pole done before and it's all new to myself and I was just wondering if I could make a similar antenna but for the 2/70 amateur radio frequencies and if I actually made one then it would be interesting to try it out on the 2/70 bands and just see how far I can get with just 25 watts so I'll give it a try one day and I'll let you know how I got on making the antenna and I can get all the bits from my local DIY shop and it should be cheap enough to buy in the shop so anyway that's my plan. Thanks and best 73's for now cheers. Stephen M3SNV 73's.

Question. I just bought an Alinco DR735T Not a fan of the microphone. I do like the mic that comes with that Anytone radio. Didn’t know if it would be compatible to work with my radio ?

Its called a bulk head mount

I’ve never had any luck using ferrite beads.

Hhhmmmmm, I take it you and the Family are on vacation?. Beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing this! Safe travels from UDX-4570 Palm Springs!⚡️🎙

Isnt it a natural laxative? Or does it take alot to have the affect?

yes i heave one of them for over 40 years and still works is a great antenna !!!!!!

I used regular spray paint without any metal particles. I chose a nice dark green to camouflage from my nosy neighbor. It was up for years.

This is a GREAT radio! I've used one for over 20 years now.

Why is you needle stuck to the right for it isn’t even moving

Which antenna are you using?

U dont really show wat u doing

Let me tell you why i know it is b.s. Have you ever used fm radio and an amplifier. Bam. Now you know. Go and figure it out.

Does Chirp retrieve the first 2 freq names?

are you getting better results with your homade pvc dipole or the antron ?

Do you do the same for a vertical CB 11 meter antenna ?

Thanks for the video..what way do you turn to increase the power

I installed a cb radio for my Autistic son and the noise and hiss was terrible so i put a few clamp on ferrite beads and helped very little! I put my oscilloscope on the power supply and the dc ripple??? Lol. Subbed and liked cheers from Australia ❤

I want to add a bypass capacitor to the output connectors to cut some of the noise out from the PS... but I don't know what size to use.... or what value to use on the cap... anyone have verifiable information as to what value range of capacitor I can use? I see output is supposed to be <150mv RMS....certainly don't want to blow up these damn power supplies.

Hi, thanks for share. I found in trash this cb radio and trying restored. Dou you have schematic?, could you share?

can the antenna be made smaller ???

Nice radio... Good choice...

Great timing... Im doing a bit of a tune-up to my President Washington at this time... Im gonna copy your upgrade for my meter light... Looks clean and is a nice upgrade! Nice job! 73 de KF4LBG "Saltshaker 762"

Fantastic job Ridghiker. Have a safe and Sane 4th celebration! UDX-4570 Palm Springs saying 73's for now!🤠👍⚡️🎙

Great descriptive video Ridge! Always looking forward to your next video.

Nicely done! Happy 4th from up the Hill.

Pretty nice and bright.

Happy 4th of July to my American subscribers! I'm very pleased how the end results came out. The original video I had created had only one LED installed but I wasn't pleased with the results. I went back and reedited the video using 2 LED lights and the results were much better.

I'd rather have an ugly duckling than a handsome corpse. I bet you were surprised when the old girl worked so well. KR66

Came out pretty good myself I run a 1983 cobra 2000. I sent it out. I wanted it recap. My tech told me the caps are not bad do not replace them. The ones from China are not worth a damn. I had it professionally aligned in tune the old radios get it on. he also made a video of it going through the radio. it’s out here on RUclips .73 my friend.

This radio and the Retevis RT95 are the same radio. The RT95 is currently on the Amazons with an additional coupon for just over $100.
