The problem with Jackery and Resmed machines is that Resmed Airsense 10 and 11 operate on 24V DC and Jackery only outputs 12V DC. You need to step up the voltage. This can get problematic. I was very disappointed that Jackery batteries were limited to 12V. I had planned to purchase a Jackery 500. I purchased another brand that output both 12V and 24V. Irt was a better option.

Interesting video. I have recently aquired a British Telecom, what I believe is a 4800X as it has the LCD screen, but with a handset with a different key configuration to anything I can find online. Unfortunatley it is missing it's coiled cable, the pug is still there but the cable has been cut off, so I am hoping either to find a replacement or get someone to make one up for me so that I test whether the phone actually works or not.

When you said that the TX wasn't a real CB, what are you basing that comment on? You didn't include it in your shootout, so how do you know if it performs as good or not? You can put a long telescopic antenna on the TX aswell. I really didn't need a another cb but I bought the TX out of curiosity and was surprise how well it worked on the original antenna but obviously it works better on a longer antenna. If I'm being honest though, I love the car kit. It works as good as any multi standard CB in the car. I liked your video because you did include the Alan 42 in the trial, but it would have been better if you'd compared the TX and the Albrecht also. I've used the Midland, the Albrecht and the TX and ignoring the obvious advantage of having ssb the Albrech had better reports than the Midland but, back then a friend owned the albrecht and he don't have it now to compare it with the TX. To be honest, I'm not a thunderpole fan. In the past they have clone radios and sold them for a lot more money the T-8000 that they currently sell is a clone of a Delta 318LT that I had about 5 years ago for £40. In a shootout, the Delta did better than my Midland Alan 48 plus Multi. On TX according to reports, RX was the same signal strength but the Delta has a nicer sounding speaker.

Thanks guys great video. I note Lewis, and others have praised in particular the Rubber duck antenna on the TX, the question I found myself asking was - would putting the the TX’s rubber duck on the Midland make any difference to its performance? I.e. how much of a difference is it making?

Also, that doesn't look like a Retevis RA89. Could the issue be you are trying to use the RA89 software with a different radio, for example the RT3S ? Edit: Just heard your intro where you call it the RT3S. Sorry*

I had the same problem with programming the Retavis RT3S I tried different USB leads but it failed to connect to my computer, I was plugging the programming lead into the USB socket on the front of the computer It was when I plugged it into a empty socket on the back of the computer I found I had no problem programming the radio. I think the problem was the header sockets on the front of the computer case plugging it in the back which is a direct socket on the motherboard seemed to cure the problem, hope this helps.

I cannot connect to the RA89 using the supplied programming cable OR Digirig. Have tried the Retevis software and Chirp. No luck. Cannot connect using the firmware updater either. COM port and Baud rate were both checked and double checked. Very frustrating!
