Thanks Matt another great review

It sounded like you said that the radio only had 16 channels. For clarification, the radio has 12 banks of 16 channels. You can use 1 for your locals, another for FRS/GMRS, another for marine channels, another for a neighboring city, another for your vacation spot. Etc. The channel banks are programmed from the phone APP, but are stored on the radio.

I clarified what you just wrote at the end of the video.

Looks impressive. The memory bank switching using a side key which their site says is a thing might win over some folk who don't want the whole rigmarole of downloading memory banks from the app.

You don’t have to switch banks from the APP, whatever is loaded onto the APP is automatically loaded into the radio. The APP just makes it very easy to load up frequencies. Locals, FRS/GMRS, vacation areas or nearby cities can be placed in each bank.

I'm not sure if (it's just me) But I find that ALL (SDR based) Radios don't receive the AM Band all that well... some do a bit better than others (Perhaps using a bit of filtering and Digital Signal Processing) . However it still does not perform as well as ( Old School) Analog Demodulation for AM. (No complaints when it comes to the FM Audio Quality) 👍 (Nice Radio overall) Air Craft Band is not all that important.

I suspect it's the demodulation. AM mostly requires AGC to be useful at all and I never found it to be implemented well, often too fast, sometimes too slow, too strong, or not strong enough. Flex Radio does it very well.

@@AC9BXEric I should hope that a FLEX Radio Does well at those prices 😊💲💰 Perhaps they do it right using a (Hybrid Mix) Of SDR Digital and Analog

Does the app route audio to/from the radio as well so the phone/tablet becomes a speaker-mic? That’s not clear from your description…

Yes, but only with the Android version of the app.

@@TechMindsOfficial that’s too bad. I’m waiting for a mobile rig with an app integrated with CarPlay. I already have that big touch screen in my car - if only I could make it be the rig’s front panel….

I have the Retevis RT99 which is the headless rig type and uses the HT app, loads of possibilities with it but the lack of VFO means I dont use it as much as I Could

Interesting. I like the APRS map function/display on the app. Is there a way to send and receive messages using the radio without the application? Like sending an APRS SMS message to cellphones?

I would have liked to see more features explored. It claims ip67 - a test would be nice. Still, first I've heard of this radio so maybe i can find a more thorough review. I dont mind some stuff being app bound, but id love a look at what requires the app and what you can do without it.

Why do ham radio makers (Japanese and Chinese) insist on having FM and AM broadcast? It compromises the filtering causing blocking on 2m. Perhaps the far east users don't have AM/FM in their cars?

Item unavailable in UK acording to Aliexpress and the surlli link doesn't work either. Is it just me?

Thanks for letting me know. I have removed the Surlli links and put in place the correct links. AliExpress looks like they have changed shipping desinations since I uploaded the video for the N76. I guess best to buy direct and use my coupon for some money off. Thanks again.
