The RX is definitely excellent and my only criticism would end up being that the audio on TX can be a little bit very on DX. Not got the 480 on for a even though, but must do so to prevent it appropriating up. When mobile, if the squelch opened up and you reached down to convert it up it would near, when removing your hands from around 6 inches or so away it would open again When doing this you could also see the SRF meter moving down as your hand gets closer then going up a little as you move it away.įor a stereo that had been about 14 the cost of the Kenwood (right now also lower), it makes a much better work of receiving, and the sound is certainly a great deal clearer thanks a lot to a huge internal speaker. On any sales channel if you actually gently handled the button it would leap up or down a station which has been a actual pain when mobile.Īnother wondering point, which I also possess with my trade unit is certainly with the Squelch. Simply a stage but I found afterwards that you have to make use of the same USB socket on your machine as its a pain attempting to get another slot recognised.

I down loaded and installed that and the laptop immediately discovered the proper interface for the Software program programme and I loaded the Dat file up into the Rig.Ī quick switch on of the unit showed it acquired indeed installed all the UK and EU Frequencies along with the 10M Music group. That is both to protect the finals in this Southern summer heat, and to protect a low-input amplifier.She demonstrated 2.5 on the 28 Metre music group (Im a G6 therefore can legally make use of the 10M Music group) Quiet, but a several distant UA CQ telephone calls on USB. Specifically, turning the AM and FM carriers down to perhaps 5 watts with the front-panel control set to full. Now I'm thinking about internally adjusting the output power. Contrary to popular opinion by some who don't own one, this is a real ham radio. I'll probably add a universal CTCSS tone board so I can get into the 10M repeaters. You know, for listening.Īnyway, the bottom line is that this does indeed work so that I have the full 10M band and all the 11M stuff without needing to do the power up sequence to switch between them. Bank F got 29 MHz freqs for AM, FM simplex, and FM repeater pairs.ĭ remains CB, but I added some frequencies above the 40 US CB channels. I put 28 MHz frequencies in Bank E for 10M SSB, CW and beacon frequencies.

It will accept up to 60 channels per bank. Had to connect it to the Internet for a few minutes so it could find and load the driver for the cable. I put it on an old laptop running XP that I use for programming commercial VHF/UHF radios. The primary reason for this thread is to report that I bought the programming cable, downloaded the free software, and it works. There are a couple of other threads about this radio, and I've posted in at least one of them.
