There's a switch in the back which you need to switch to the Right if you want to hear AM and SW, etc, it's set for FM by default, this drove me crazy bc I wasn't getting any AM or SW until I found that swich on the back.
Long time ago I bought one of the very first version of ATS - 20 and even today it's very usefull to me. Every and each iteration of this radio is better and better so my wallet have no other choice and accept it one day ;)
I have just bought the ATS25 max decoder today. Looking forward to getting it in my grubby little mits lol. However, I do have a question if anyone has any ideas... What's the difference between the ATS25 max-Decoder and the ATS25 max-Decoder II. I Just saw the ATS25 max-Decoder II up for sale the other day. I can't find the difference.
Good video on how the decoder works. If anyone reading this has the ATS25 it also has wifi built in and decode just like the video but you need to upgrade the firmware first with harduino firmware for all this to become active. This is just on the old ATS25 Thanks for posting
Do you have any links on how to do this? All very confusing and my searches online aren't finding anything helpful. I have the ATS25X2 and was hoping to upgrade it if possible!
👍Interesting radio. Thanks for review. I suspect "HELL Field" will be Feld-Hell Hellschreiber mode. Although not very popular, some radio amateurs still occasionally use it on HF.
I think you are right. I did try transmitting from my HF Radio some Field-Hell, so I could receive it and show it working, but I dont think I had the transmit settings right. Defo not used it before. Cheers
I'm surprised at this little thing. It works well for what it is as long as you ignore its quirks. I didn't even bother with terminal mode until I watched this video and I enjoy it even more now. 👍🏻Unfortunately it doesn't appear to do the same with CW, or I'm doing something wrong. It's hard to read CW on the tiny screen with my old tired eyes.
If the uploading through a vertual serial port through Wifi or USB becomes a bigger thing. I would like to see WSPR as a digital option. It would be great for semi remote operation.
I like the ATS-120, as it is small and easy to carry around, not like the ATS-25, which I have the first one from a year or so ago, which is nice too, but much larger to carry around. Thanks 😊

That license activation thing is a real bummer. I would have liked to flash up the ATS25 that I currently own. Maybe someday there will be a way to do that.
Does this version have Bluetooth? I bought another version called ATS 25 AMP. I has all the decoding features but shows BT as an option just grayed out. Im trying to confirm if any of them actually has Bluetooth?
There's no Bluetooth module in the current models. It's supposed to be coming out later either as a new model receiver and/or an add-on board for the current models.
Scanning on hf, yes. Not sure about the scan/store yet. I haven't tried that yet. Overall, I'm enjoying the device. I wish it had a spectrum waterfall, tho.
I’m having a problem with the volume. When I click on volume and set it at a comfortable level, as soon as I come away from the volume the volume goes right down to unlistenable. Any help would be much appreciated.
My apologies I knew jumping into this. What all can you do with this? Said you did other videos could you maybe give me the link please? Thanks for your time and your uploads!
Yes, you have to build and install a decoder circuit board and so that the battery display works on old devices, solder two voltage dividers, each with two 18K resistors, and connect them to the ESP ruclips.net/video/be8V9z4a5Uo/видео.html
The correct time for the synchronization for FT8 is fetched via the WLAN, but alternatively this also works via RDS. you will also be notified of software updates. I recently discussed this topic on my channel
@@ManuelLausmann-FunktechnikI was just notified today on my ATS25 MAX that there was an update to my AIR 4.16 Air Beta version. I love this functionality.
AM FM USE ONLY Other am fm radios like pure really difficult menus and difficult to see at night, this looks nice with big labelled icons bright screen.... but please someone, whats it like as a am fm radio for magic radio etc in uk, compared to say a sanguin tabletop ... AND the prices of ats25max vary from £60 to £126, am I right thinking the cheaper ones only difference no liscence activation and no wi fi .. and that this woulkdnet be needed for am fm ????????
ALL software has a license of one type or another. If the license is what grinds your gears, I suggest you go back to using two tin cans on a screen. A cellphone has dozens of licenses, your computer does too. Perhaps your REAL CONCERN is the genesis of the software, which is Russian. If so, just say so, because at least THAT is logical.
Just got mine, pretty interesting, but it's got a heck of a learning curve. So far, I guess the bluetooth isn't an option. No matter what I touch, bluetooth will not turn on. FOLLOW UP-I RETURNED AND RECEIVED ANOTHER ONE. NOW THE WIFI WILL NOT CONNECT. I GUESS YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. RETURNING FOR REFUND.
Almost all tech channels I used to like that were teaching, inspiring, building and experimenting, are now predominantly doing reviews... I know one needs to make a living, especially nowadays, but.. Nevermind.

Ordering one of these today. This will be my first radio, and I'm very excited to get started in this hobby! :D
Cool. How is it going? 😊
I'm still thinking between the ATS-25 and ATS-120 AND the Malahit 😊

@@Murderdogs same here my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth says disconnected. Can’t find nothing on it and it has no volume.
What do you do when your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth says disconnected
This thing is getting better but what about filtering to mitigate strong MW stations?

Great work Matt, although I'm concerned about the license being behind .RU lines. It's getting important to watch that security vector more and more.
absolutely not to mention a "backdoor" that could be exploited via the wifi functionality.
Sadly, that fact is a deal killer for me, not only for this radio, but any clones based on Malachite firmware or its libraries.
Or the same concern, plus for MAC users it is a non starter.

This is being advertised as having CW decoding but actually it doesnt then ?

What a good wire end feed antenna for this... Anything on Amazon you could recommend for this unit... 😎✌️
I just bought one so it better be as good as the reviews say
Hmmmmm
What would you recommend the Ats 25 max decoder or tecsun pl-368.

Yes, and by the way the ATS-120 has the LNA 🫢

When powered on the radio emits a loud pop also when I change the bands and modes it also pops. Any advice?
Does it cover the sideband channels as well as am fm.
What is the difference between this model and X2?
The waterfall is just an audio effect as far as I can tell. It's not a spectrum display.
Thank you, very nice video. SSTV picture should it show?
might get one of these now cheap as chips as they say nice one video covered it
That license activation thing is a real bummer. I would have liked to flash up the ATS25 that I currently own. Maybe someday there will be a way to do that.
Wat does licence activation mean please ....im a newbie thinkn about getting this Radio/Receiver...thank you
@@jsweeting3682 same here and mine says Wi-Fi. Bluetooth disconnected real bummer.
how do you enable Blue tooth , everything else works ?
Thanks for the video, I’m considering buying one
No problem 👍
@@TechMindsOfficial mine tells me I have no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It says disconnected.
Looks like a good radio
It may look like a good radio but looks can be deceptive
Why would a receiver have a software license that has to be accepted?
For the firmware that runs it. See the Malachite receiver as an example.
Does this version have Bluetooth? I bought another version called ATS 25 AMP. I has all the decoding features but shows BT as an option just grayed out. Im trying to confirm if any of them actually has Bluetooth?

@@bmh67wa Thanks!
My Wi-Fi and Bluetooth say disconnected How do I connect it?
Great review and radio looks good but Does this radio scan all the bands and not just FM broadcast? And how about scan and store on HF freqs?
Scanning on hf, yes. Not sure about the scan/store yet. I haven't tried that yet. Overall, I'm enjoying the device. I wish it had a spectrum waterfall, tho.
Does it have rubber feet?
I’m having a problem with the volume. When I click on volume and set it at a comfortable level, as soon as I come away from the volume the volume goes right down to unlistenable. Any help would be much appreciated.
Ferrite 👌
Same here not to mention Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disconnected
@@hawk1481 I sent mine back. If it had worked it was a nice radio🙁
My apologies I knew jumping into this.
What all can you do with this?
Said you did other videos could you maybe give me the link please?
Thanks for your time and your uploads!
It's basically just an fm radio. Lol
.
@@humanbeing-001 ah thx
@@humanbeing-001 Not true at all. It does receive FM broadcast bands but it's also a LW, MW and SW receiver and it receives SSB transmissions.
@@humanbeing-001did you watch the video at all?
Very interesting radio😮
What would you say is the best ATS 25 in the series.
Difficult to say to be honest. In fact, I probably would buy something else.
@@TechMindsOfficial what would you recommend.
@@TechMindsOfficial. Recommendations?
@@TechMindsOfficial
Malahit? 😍
Has anyone tried running this version on an older version of the hardware? Might give it a try later.
I think it will run, but it needs a piece of hardware fitting for the decoding I believe.
Yes, you have to build and install a decoder circuit board and so that the battery display works on old devices, solder two voltage dividers, each with two 18K resistors, and connect them to the ESP

You can't show all the new features without 4.16 air firmware.
Why is there no memory to save frequencies on these types of radios.Makes NO sense.
Licenses ? Really ?

@@kd7eirthat's not true

No, it's not, just because "IT'S RUSSIAN"!
You, hypocrates, still buying Russian oil (maybe via India or Turkey) and Uranium!
So what? 🤣
What's the display size ?
Buy some glasses
Why do I have to set up WiFi all over again every time I turn the radio on
I can’t even get the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It says disconnected.
can i use my own antenna ?
Yep, you can indeed.
