Excellent, thank you
At this point I have 7 different hand helds, but you almost convince me I need one more✋73's🎙KD9OAM🎧
There have been Bluetooth equipped radios for years my AnyTone 878 and my Icom ic52 both have Bluetooth that’s nothing new!
Thanks, none of mines ever were..
I have both. for me, hd2 has much better reception, can "work" with the screen in the sun, the center dial works a little bit better (yet slow response), the c usb for charging is good, the antenna seems to me with better swr, bluetooth is nice to have, extra upper button is an improvement, gps is slow locking the sattelites and when using gps with aprs would like to have the channel transmiting location even when not selected (blue background) en the screen... what else?? well thats for now
The screen is slightly bigger it would be interesting what firmware will bring later in future
The radio doesn't pass the regulations regarding spurious emissions. It's just another expensive Baofeng.
I've seen several videos, the features appear to be plentiful, but several reports claim spurious emissions. Thanks for sharing.
Spurious emissions are a serious concern for any responsible operator.
YAESU needs to come out with a handheld FT817 with an upgraded screen, etc. While you're waiting to cast your vote, for let’s go Brandon, I'll be repelling you’re enemy that surrounds you, For I am strong, and you are weak, And I'll protect you with my sword and shield.

for the bluetooth mic to trigger vox it would have to keep the bluetooth audio channel open which would kill both devices batteries. you would need a bluetooth push to talk button which are available fairly inexpensively. the earpiece that it came with probably has a ptt on it.
read the manual - yes the earpiece has a PTT on the side
Great video sir, thanks!
F4iss merci❤❤
@RadioPrepper Will these devices be rendered useless if not stored in a faraday bag or faraday cage during an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) or CME (Coronal Mass Ejection)? I want to get a group of my family and friends along with myself to purchase some sort of mesh device for emergency comms in the near future if affordable. I also want to make sure that someone in their 70s is is not very tech savvy can use if phones and other mainstream communication means go down.
They will be protected in a Faraday cage, but don't forget to also include a phone or tablet for interface.
due to repetative strain injury i am learning with a paddle.
He usado esta version -micro W3EDP con buen resultado en 20m . Contactos en la primera prueba con : Rusia, Islandia, Finlandia ... @ 2500 km en el primer intento con solo 10W. Buenos reportes. La antena diispone de otro pico de resonancia alrededor de 10m que es muy sensible al uso de un contrapeso.Este contrapeso es de longitud muy corta y está conectado en el punto de salida "fría" del balun 1:4 , donde se une con la linea abierta de 450 ohmios. Con este contrapeso, puedo despazar el pico de 10m y llegar a 11m con una pérdida lógica de rendimiento.También afecta, pero en menor medida al pico de 20m. La zona intermadia entre picos es adaptable con ATU, pero no espero grandes cosas. El contrapeso es un punto a favor. Comentar además que el balun 1::4 mejor que sea de corriente (dos toroides separados) ya que la version de voltage ( un toroide común) no limita la corriente de modo común generada por la asimetría de la antena. En cualquier caso un choke RF siempre es más que recomendable, es necesario. Buena relización y excelente video.
Vidéo très instructive en ce qui concerne les "baluns" et la distribution des courants dans l'antenne.
La NSA ( ou d'autres agences ... ? ) est-elle apte à lire les échanges de meshstatic ?
Aucune idée..
@@RadioPrepper ... ok merci pour la réponse ... à creuser je pense 🤔
Bonjour y a t’il moyen de trouver un wt programmable pour le 27 mhz pour pas trop cher, je sait que c’est pas aussi top qu’un poste fixe,je compte passer ma licence prochainement,et je cherche un wt ,peut être un dmr cordialement et merci pour toutes ces vidéos .
Pas à ma connaissance..
@@RadioPrepper j’ai trouvé:Quansheng uv 5 et 6 k,debridables à l’allumage dans un menu caché.
Le problème sont la très faible puissance de sortie et les harmoniques, utilisable seulement en réception.
@@RadioPrepper OK merci bcp
Thank you for the video! I have built this project but with the only difference being I used a 100w resistor. As far as the "rf probe" function goes, I am getting a reading with a multimeter set to DC but it seems to be about 27% off (to high) with the calculation you hold up on the paper. Am I missing something?
Revision, I now see it depends on the frequency. I was using two vhf radios in my prior tests that I mentioned and now I tried UHF and its 800% higher. I'm thinking HF should be pretty close but I will try that another time. Thanks again for the project!
It's probably a wound resistor, which makes a coil in AC. You must use a carbon resistor, or other, but not wound..
@@RadioPrepper It looks exactly like yours just 100w instead of 250w but I did get them cheap on the internet.
Weird, I only used mine on HF though, so who knows...
Could you stack speaker voice coils to get the antanner the right length?
Might be worth a try, but finding the right value might be hard without regular taps to measure..
Isn't that why there are specific WARC Bands where no contesting is allowed ? 5, 10, 18, and 24 MHz are deemed no contesting ! 🤔.....? Just Say'n !
Sure, but not everyone has the radio or/and antenna for them.
@@RadioPrepper Not to be argumentative, but ....where there's a Will, there's a way ! I think if these folks really wanted to operate, they would find a way ! There are just too many affordable alternatives, to keep you off the air, these days ! Perhaps what's lacking is a little ingenuity ? And too, these may be Hams that haven't bothered to learn Morse Code ? Which serves well, when looking for a place to operate ! But so many offer excuses why they can't learn the Morse Code ! But I think they are cheating themselves, and missing out on great fun ! But that is just my opinion, and I don't want to stray too far from the topic ! Just offering a great escape, for those that feel trapped and helpless by Contesters !
@sleeve8651 sure, there are ways, but I shouldn't have to go out of my way to accommodate people who have no respect for others and take it all.
@@RadioPrepper Not to drag this on, but not knowing how long you've been licensed, ( Guessing you are a licensed Amateur ?), but Amateur Radio has undergone several changes thru the years ! Some through attrition, some thru advancements in technology ! Not to preach to the choir ! But the latter has likely been most influential, just by the nature of the beast ! Pushing the Radio Amateur out of their role of providing Emergency communications ! In many cases, by individuals that were in charge of Cities Emergency centers, that lacked understanding of the value of the Amateur Radio Service ! Where they chose in many cases, to throw money at it, and bought expensive, many times, " Motorola " radios, and then passed them out like candy, to untrained personnel ! And with the push from Radio manufacturers, to try and help themselves stay alive, to them lower the requirements for becoming a licensed operator ! So what we see today, is simply where Amateur Radio has morphed, into a completely different Animal ! Going from a , " Service ", to now what most think of as a, " Hobby " ! It is what it is ! The Genie's out of the bottle, and it's not going back in ! My advice, if I may, would be instead of sitting on the sidelines, would be to become involved ! Perhaps push yourself into learning new things ! Enjoy the Freedom to communicate, while we still have the ability ! In closing, as the old adage states, " If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem " ! 🤔.....? Just Say'n !

I think the Germans left lots of lead, At least twice. good video.
Great video, he speaks the truth. Really well done and excellent advice to anyone learning CW!
Bonjour Gilles , tu parles de la longueur du fil mais qu'en est-il de la longueur du coax ? la longueur du coax a t'elle une incidence sur le ROS ? si oui quelle longueur de coax faut-il ? Merci . 73'
Généralement pas important si l'antenne est résonante, ce qui est le cas ici.
So where is the antenna?
Took a long time to ship, mod in 1 hour, works great! Gene
He gives off such strong narcissist vibes. wouldn't want to have to deal with this dude irl...
I've been called a few things, but that's a first. What could I have possibly said that might make you think that?
You do know that a HALF WAVE end fed antenna is only a half wave on one frequency, right?
Of course!
Use the AMS if only for covienence of not messing about with filament.
Merci pour la francisation du sujet ; ) J'ai quand même une question : Je ne parle pas que de ce cas là, mais est-ce que la section du fil utilisé a son importance pour une antenne ?
Pas beaucoup, ça change juste un peu la bande passante et l'impédance. J'utilise du fil très fin..
I wouldnt use these for prepping. I bet even with GPS off there is a backdoor way of turning it on letting some scrotes find you, your stuff and family.
There is an option to add your amateur radio callsign. Is that what disables encryption? It seems like in the USA you are better off not using the callsign which isn’t required on 915Mhz even if you have one.
Yes, nobody should use their callsign on 915, the same way you would not use your HAM callsign on CB.
@@RadioPrepper thank you Gil!
You mentioned having something like 9 or 10 meshtastic devices. Do you have 1:1 ratio pairing to a single phone/tablet per meshtastic node or do you have multiple coexisting on the same phone?
1to1 to a single phone.
@@RadioPrepper I’m following. Each meshtastic device can only be paired with one phone/tablet/computer. I’m not clear on the opposite. Can you have multiple meshtastic devices paired to a single phone/tablet/computer? Thanks for your educating video and taking the time to answer questions.
Good session, regards from meshtastic user in The Netherlands!!
A little strange video... 🤔
Good info Gil, thank you
How much more distance is it possible to achieve switching from Long Range fast/fast to Very Long Range/Slow? I live in a crowded city so looking for ways to achieve better distance even if it's way slower.
Not sure but the problem is that everyone is on LongFast but for a private channel, you could try slower, but not the minimum, which doesn't really work.
Thanks Gil for the great information on meshtastic device for communication when everything else is down ..... nice to setup a network of them =) de Pat N5VMO
Never mind
How much $
How many turns for 30 - 10 meters for FT114 31?
No idea...
@@RadioPrepper thanks
Bonjour j ai acheté le Retevis RA79 pour écouter les frequences aéronautiques. La reception n'est pas bonne les voix sont nazillarde et grésillent. Est ce normal sur ces frequences, mauvaise programation ( pas 8.33, Narrow , AM) ou une defectuosité du talkie. En Narrow et Wide la reception est identique.
Je ne connais pas le RA79..
Très bonne vidéo merci
As an older aged learner, I found this useful. It highlighted some concepts that I’ve been grappling with. For someone without English as a first language you’ve done well with the delivery. As an OCD, I jar with the use of capitals and lower case - RADIO, not RADiO. Problem with decoding though if trying to something which is deliberately non-English, eg 5 letter groups. Lucky we are not at war!

That short coil looks more like a Buddipole coil for 40 - 10 meters. I have the Buddipole Deluxe although I rarely use it, and it has the same coil clips. The Mad Dog coil looks similar to the Wolf River Coils and REZ coils. I wonder if the Mad Dog coil can handle 100 watts. People have said that the Wolf River Coils coil melts when it gets too hot. 73 KD5YOU
It looks like it would but see the manufacturer's info. I don't own a 100W radio, 20W max...
I dont know if you monitor this as old as it is, but what does the potentiometer do?
I don't remember, LOL, volume?
In testing the one I just completed I was heard by an SDR weblinked radio in San Francisco California. I am in Mesa AZ. (about 600 miles give or take). Unfortunately my RX circuit has a squealing noise much like a digital mode signal being received
hi, i have an 18v solar panel. so with this mppt board will it charge the 3s 18650 batteries directly from the mppt? or does it need the bms board too? i note that the 18650 3s requires 12.6v to charge, so does the mppt board put out 12.6v? thanks.
I don't remember, but there are mppt boards specifically for 3S LION packs, otherwise you need a BMS because most regular mppt boards are for lead-acid batteries. Check out my video on the Wonton board...
Always appreciate and enjoy your videos.
