Nice clean audio, not bad for two watts! Also happy to finally see radios with C type USB ports!
I agree, it's about time for USB-C ports to go mainstream in other electronic product categories than phones.
Right I've been looking for that no reason at this point were not individually chargeable and using USB c
If the Icom ID52 had a type c port I'd pay $700 for it.
5 watts
2 watts
Ringway Manchester is the absolute man. Great videos, great northern accent, great radios. Nothing over complicated, just good content.
I got one of these recently and love it. The fact that you can change antennas is huge IMO. Thanks for mentioning the software, I was unaware it existed. A cool feature of these radios is that if you are on channel 1, power off, hold the up and xmit buttons while turning on the radio, you can program each channel (one at a time) by keying up another radio close by. It even decodes the CTCSS or DCS and is shockingly fast. If have the radio on channel 16 and hold the channel up button while powering on radio, it will turn off voice prompts, change language to Chinese. If you want to turn voice prompts back on, channel select beeps differently at channel 1.
Any chance you can post the link to the software download? I've visited the site and can't find the software or even this radio listed under their products???
@@deaglanquinn514 And does anyone know if there is there a 'Chirp' build that will work with these radios...?
@@deaglanquinn514 same really looking forward to finding out where to purchase.
@@palipixel I have not had any luck with chirp or in finding the software on the the TXQ site.
Where did you buy them from?
For some reason, I find this type of video addictive. I don’t have a collection as big as yours yet, but if you keep dropping content like this, I will have despite the fact that 70cm in the Luton area is probably deader than where you are!
I'm a subscriber, but don't have any radios. It's fascinating. I did once have VHF/MF/HF licence from the DTI back in the late 90's when I was crew on a RNLI lifeboat, and before that had a CB in my youth though if that counts... lol
Amazing little radios Lewis , another great video, they are rather neat . Regards mark
What a great bit of kit RM, love it. :)
The audio and signal back to your house is very good cant tell the distance between the locations.
another good test Lewis just need some other operators to help you on air.
Marc In Bletchley G6XEG
Love it rog!
it looks amazing. I need to get my hands on one of them
Great video. Another one to take info from. Great work as normal.
Thanks for posting Lewis... I've been seeing slightly different versions of this randomly on the tic toc part of RUclips, but they were advertised as 1,000 mile "internet/cell phone" radios. But they sure didn't know how to try to sell to US because they contained NO viable info ! I've seen one of two on China sites, again with basically no info. I think Radioddity has a multi mode SW receiver similar to this. An internet only radio is no use to me. But this one is an actual RF transceiver. I gather one could attach a better antenna if wanted.
👍
The one add that I saw was Chinese "Tydera G4 walkie talkie"with similar design. Funnily it had "Nokia" printed to the front which raised my suspicious. The 1000 mile is achievable cause it communicated trough GSM and needs a sim card. So its weirdly shaped phone.
@@evilfish456 Yeah, exactly... Those poc internet radios are fine. Give me an RF transceiver any day because when tell cell towers go out, and the internet is flat unreliable, analog simplex will still work. Which is a reason why I don't buy a portable unless I have/can get reliable extra batteries, preferably with the option of a dry cell battery pack
@@baronedipiemonte3990Salut Barone vous parler français?
Great video demonstrating how well it gets out. I have an issue with it, I cannot hear anyone getting back on the same frequency. I use it on PMR bands.😒
Smart kit Lewis! ideal for many applications
Just ordered *another* one of these branded by Jianpai - IT HAS A CLEAR OUTER CASE so I could not resist! Been using my Abbree version on the mountain bike as it seems pretty study and has survived a couple of drops and plenty of light rain over the past few months.
Nice one Tom, got a pair of the clear one myself, cracking radio
Neat little things but "military" is a bit of a stretch. The USMC used modified FRS radios for a while ,then moved on to Moto XTS2500Rs and they
wrecked /drowned them too.
Do u know what exactly those modifications were???
@@damiengirvan5020 I think they were on a slightly different frequency.
Ok..... thanks..... interesting
@@vw183iltis I think uhf 385 mhz were allocated to various military us
The actual channels were published at the time, not sure if I added the to my proma database will see if I can find
What?!? No built-in LED flashlight?
😂
And no FM receive
Another Great Video I really do like your vids they are right to the point thank you..... Peter
I Thank you if I were working I certainly would buy a coffee, sadly the truth is I am a Disabled Guy who lives alone and I get a measly 200 euros from the State I only found your channel recently and I am Glad I did, I dont even have a Licence to chat I would like to get one and maby make some Friends as I dont have many /any Thank you for getting back to me, may the Lord watch over you and everyone you know I will remember you in my Prayers Thank you... Peter
Hes speaking my language, miles, not kilometers. Nice video mate.
Nice radios, good test.
Nice video 👍
When I see radios like this I wish I had an UHF repeater nearby. But as of now I know that they will stay unused on the shelf.
ruclips.net/video/ui2zSmHkV70/видео.html The sentence telling you what frequencies they work on will tell you if you need a licence to use them in your part of the world.
Nice video, but wouldn't it have been better to test going further out until failure?
I'm not seeing them on Amazon, and the TXQ website isn't selling them. Where are they sold?
Therer is a TXQ Walkie Talkie group on Facebook where you get more info about these radios. RUclips won't let me post the URL.
Those look great.

Don't you just hate web sites that don't give prices!!!🤬🤬🤬
Abbree also brand these as the AR-63 - about £21+vat
Is it 100% identical apart from the branding?
@@veryboringname. I believe so. I've ordered one but it's not arrived yet but the listed spec, accessories, design and colours look identical.
@@tee_m I hope so too, since I ordered one as well!
@@veryboringname. Mine arrived and I can confirm that it is identical to the one in this video. Just measured output power at 2.1W with an SWR on the stubby antenna of ~2.0 on PMR frequencies - measured with surecom sw102. Was easy to code using an already pmr programmed radio using the instructions Status Quo Fugitive posted in the comments - manual is useless! Cannot find programming software for PC as yet. Will email Abbree for a link later. Feels pretty good and it'll live in the car for now!
@@tee_m Great to hear! Mine arrived a few days ago - to the wrong state! No idea what happened or where it actually is. The seller is checking.
It reminds me of the garmin inreach mini form factor
Excellent video look really rugged. What would be the best UHF radio handset for a beginner?
Thf7e kenwood
when you have no one else to talk too, you end up radio checking with your self and a recording device. I too have no one to test with so I have to default to keeping a radio next to a vox tape recorder....one is the loneliest number that you ever knew.....
Where do you get this radio from,.. cant see a link to seller
Intrigued to know if theres a PMR446 version 🙂
It’s programmable, so you can make it a PMR radio.
These can't be used legally on PMR446, due to the licence-free conditions that PMR radios must adhere to, 0.5W power, fixed antenna (non removable)
@@RobR386 limit the Tx power in software and glue the antenna on. Problem solved.
Cool hand sets
The stock antenna is good for UHF. The standard 5 inch Motorola whip with the ball on the top works just a bit better. The radio takes a UHF only SMA female antenna.
Just curious if you’re still answering questions about this walkie-talkie?
THANK YOU.... DES CREAN,,BELFAST ,, IRELAND
I like these radios Lewis. Where can I buy them? I didn’t see them on the companies website.
Are you in the US??
@@michaelking1529 yes…
Ditto.. in the u.s.
Aliexpress, but may not be the same brand. These radios are carried under several brand names. The exact same radio nonetheless.
What's the longest distance??
There’s no way to answer that
Can please explain the 4G parts of these radios? Nothing on the description on there website either.
They’re not 4g…
Good but why didn't you go further away until it ran out? Surely that's the proper way to test? You kind of spoiled the fun by doing 2 miles first too.
How the hell was I supposed to know I was making it back at 2 miles??
Love the dinky little radio's
Great solo test.73 , W7EMW
Where'd you get these?
Where are you located?
@@michaelking1529 United States
Did you buy direct from txq or somewhere else?
As a Mac user is this radio compatible with Chirp software.?
Def a narrow band signal, At close range the audio was a bit clippy. But still a nice little radio.
Great for new operators. No settings on the radio to muck about with and then they don't know what is wrong.
73 from across the big pond and not your usual yank KG4MXV
Not Chirp compatible.
@@syntaxerrorsix3137 It is now, via Abbree AR-63.
I bought 2 of these and couldn't even get out 5 miles. So how fat can these radios get out cause the ad said 3,000 miles
I’m looking for a good set of radios for canoe adventures. Assuming those would be hopeless with a plunge?
Cannot find using any search here in USA.
Do they meet IR 2028 for M3's?
Pretty neat if they were GMRS and FRS capable.
Um, they are FRS capable. With a slightly better antenna they are very FRS capable.
I've never operated on 70cm, but this may inspire me to do so ... is it an active band in the UK? 73, KA3KAS / DO3KAS
Are these only available "Down Under"?
Here in "The States", we've never seen them or heard of them!!!!
Are they Clansman compatible ? 🙂
Where do you buy them from all I see on your drop down is buy you a coffee and other things but no link to the actual item.
Can you connect them to local repeater for more range
No sign of this on the TXQ web site. Interested, but I can't find these for sale anywhere.
Radios are becoming like Dr Who's Tardis...smaller&smaller but more crammed in every new generation...had the back off yet??!! 73.
It's amazing what can be done with very few components. SDR (Software defined radio) has really made these tiny devices possible. Added to that Lithium Ion batteries and it's a great example of 'mighty miniature might'
Did you pick up any QRP calls from the I country callsign designator ? :D
Is this a ham radio or a walkie talkie
Hi, I live in a valley with absolutely no mobile signal on any network. My daughter rides her horse up to 2 miles away and she has no way of getting help should she come off. Can you recommend a two way radio set that will allow us to communicate whilst she is out riding. Thank you.
Compare to some blister pack 2 watt GMRS : FRS radios under the same locations and let us know how they work.
We don’t use those bands here
They seem to out preform the blister pack radios and the features are fantastic by comparison.
@ringway manchester where do you buy them? what's the purchase link?
Bet it.Wont work round here !!!
Top of Billinge near the Bunkers
Will this work on a cruise, having no cell service
Be nice to know the frequency range of the radios.
400-480 like he said.
Thx
What frequencies are the factory channels set at?
Don't know about the UK, but no way these are FCC-certified in the US. Interesting test, though. Also sold with Nokia branding.
They don’t have to be FCC certified for a amateur use.
Should I get some
Does anyone know how to activate scanner mode on channel 16? I didn't understand what it says in the instructions
Lewis, used your link to the manufacturer, but this model G63 is not listed on there, why?🤔 Can you please forward a link
where these can be purchased.
Check : TXQ Raduo group American authorized.
very cute but I don't have a need for one yet. :)
I can't seem to find where to buy this anywhere on their site or on Google
Hi does it have scanner? If yes how does it work?
So I'm new to all this, are you saying these operate on GMRS channels?
Thanks.
Yes, 16 channels anywhere between 400 - 480 MHz
@@SimonTemplarVK3XEM
Thanks.
Confusing on what range they worked at
How far do they go? And can be used in the US?
54321 thats what i say when checking for tx and i say 12345 when i checking for rx
Who sells them?
Does this work for gmrs channels ?
Looks like you can change the antenna to extend the range???
What price does it have
Haver you got a model number? Can't find them on the website. Ta.
It’s in the title..
I got this very item and are no better than any walkie talkie more than half the price I got sold when it advertised longer range but it was false.
So it’s only one frequency at a time?
Yes, single VFO.
Link doesn't have these radios
Those little radios are cute like you.
🙈
Does it mean that only the other device will hear you? Because I don't see the numbers.
Is this real walkie talkie?
It is real.
Does it mean that only the other device will hear you? Because I don't see the numbers.
Is this real walkie talkie?
Depends on the frequency and CTCSS tones you set for each of the 'channel slots', of which there are 16 slots for you to set different combinations of frequency and CTCSS (or DTCS) Tones.
Hi there, I recently got one of these for my niece's and nephews to play with, unfortunately when you struck out on its a loud mandarin voice , I heard there is a way to change the voice.
Can any one help 🙏.
Change it using Chirp software with the programming cable, go to "Settings" tab, then go to "Voice Prompts", click for drop-down to select English. Finally, remember to "Upload to Radio".
What is the price range.
Hello sir. I have the software installed in my PC. How do I connect my G63 to the computer? I tried USB type C port and connect to my computer but it didn't work. Can you help me?
You need a Kenwood style connector.
? What the heck kind of test was that.?
I look forward to your better test you cretin
I don't understand. Is this a radio transmitting over a 4G network, or is it using a repeater, or is it point to point?
It’s uhf point to point
@@RingwayManchester I couldn't find this radio on their website. There is a similar looking radio for 4G, which contributed to my confusion. In fact, I couldn't find it for sale anywhere. Looks pretty cool though!
How much
Exactly where did you buy them, if I may ask?
Aliexpress
Is there somewhere to buy these from in the UK?
Yes coming very soon
Can you buy them ?
Do you program it with a Baofeng cable?
Yes
Take the fm receiver out and boost it to 5-10 watts then ill buy one. These Chinese companies never listen to the ham community
The battery will be far too small to make 10 watts viable. The handset is physically too small as well, there'd be no way to manage the heat. It's meant for people who want a compact unit, and two watts is impressive for its size, IMO.
Where can I get one
hello,any tips on getting the software to download?,it keeps saying network error,thank you
Use programming cable with Chirp, select radio as Abbree AR-63.
