HL2 is amazing kit when paired with the HL2 Thetis flavored software. I've been meaning to do a video on mine. I added the pure signal input and use the CL2 output to send a 116mhz sig stabilize a cheap Ukrainian transverter for 2m. Works great!
Hi, and thank you for the comment. I have been looking at the pure signal. What is the advantage of the pure signal is it just a high bandwidth way of operating?
@@digitalanaloguehamradio it's pre -distortion for your output, it samples the output and sends inverse signal to your transmission taking a lot of the IMD for a very clean tx. If you run an amplifier, you can also sample that output with the HL2 and clean that up as well,, just like the Apache radios.
Sounds really good Chris. What antenna were you using? Your S-meter & the dBm at the top right suggest about an S8 noise but it doesn't sound that noisy. Have you rolled back the RF gain? I love my FTDX10. The receiver on that is phenomenal & allows me to hear things which I would never have previously have been able to receive at this noisy urban location. Having said that, I'm wondering if I can do even better with an SDR. I've been looking at Sun SDR & Flex Radios but really not sure that I can justify the cost.
@@ON8EI Thanks for the reply. I briefly looked at the Apache Labs SDR's but considered them out of my budget. Having said that, the 6000DLE is about 2k with only 30 watts output (can boost that to around 150-200 watts with my existing amplifier). Just spoken to Chris offline & he reckons the HL2 hardware is very close to the Anan.....might be worth a try?
Audio sounds awesome Chris, I’ve not gone through previous comments. Did you receive this audio mobile or at your HA. Keep up the great content mate. 👍
Hi jason, thanks for watching . This is at the home QTH with my mag loop. The hardware of the radio is extremely similar to radios that are far more expensive
I am enjoying my new HL2, it is a solid choice for any ham.
Yes, I can’t imagine how the more expensive ones could be any better. I just need to add a 50w amp so I can use it on my mobile live stream

That really does sound great Chris! Great setup you've got! Can't wait to see your follow-ups on this once you've got to grips with the system :)
Thanks mate, I will be talking about this in the future don’t worry it’s amazing
@@digitalanaloguehamradio Any updates?
Thanks mate, I appreciate the comment
😂😢😊🎉❤😢😊😮😅
Yo Kreeestoffffff. Nice to see you back on Y/T :-)
thx mate

With Thetis, you see the noise but don't hear it. The NR on the Flex is very poor comparing to the HL2 or the Anan.
Yes I have turned down the Rf gain because there is no IPO I am on my mag loop 2e0ero
@@ON8EI Thank you for the comment. I am still learning on this and appreciate your knowledge.

@@AmateurRadioUK Once you get the the HL2 you will be hooked. I never turn on my 7300 now. Setting it up takes patience. 73's
I'm looking at this with an amp or a 7300 for my first hf radio. I need to look more into them. How are you finding your after a few months?
It’s a fantastic radio. There is a great Facebook group and also a Google io group. Everybody seems to love them with no complaints
