Hi Ive had an issue with the fine tuning funtion on 3 XHData 808 radios. the first one fine tuning didnt work at all and then the other two. failed shortly after!!!! I cant find any info on this problen & have contacted XH Data but they just told me to get a refund and I did so
Hi there Fantastic video and the only one on YT. Makes me wonder, would it be possible to upgrade that board with faster CPU ( 60MHZ) and add more memory. That would be cool.
Hmmm, I'm thinking heat the Vaseline into a liquid state with one hand, keep the soldering iron on it while you scratch the aluminum with a knife in the other hand, then remove the knife and the soldering iron (in that order). This way, atmospheric gases never get a chance to combine with the aluminum.
I just got a PL-368 and I was wondering what the twirly caps on the AM antenna did, especially because there are up/down arrows. Now I know...absolutely nothing! Thanks for the interesting video.
You prompted me to watch half of it again until I got tired of my own voice! I'm thinking now what value would have been added to a pocket radio in the past if they'd done that as soon as possible, when everyone didn't have smartphones. I don't remember any pocket radio with a cheap watch inside. There could have been plenty out there though.
Glad you like the antenna mate . But what I would look at it grounding it a little better . I'd say that you have rubber feet on your roof racks of the car , So just for an added bit of grounding I'd tru an earth lead to the chassis rail (some sort of a quick attach set up) . Do another sweep on the VNA and see if you get a different match . Cheers Anthony VK4GTX
Hi :) I have a few things to try when I do get out again. It’s noisy near a city, but fine in the bush, and much easier on the back setting it up than throwing a line over a tree branch!
I had the Lynx 2 and loved it as a kid. The fact the Lynx was Invented in 1987 initially with a tape deck design, with sprite scaling and unlimited sprites, something even the Megadrive and SNES couldn't do in hardware. Insane
hello sir can you help i need the some guide and software i will make setellite tv server so i need card infomation for box key and rsa key plz help me
I am so glad that atari decided to not use tapes as a storage medium for games,other wise games would,ve loaded slow and/or could,ve damage overtime by lot’s of usages.
Hi, I doubt there was ever potential for that. There’s a short video floating around of the Lynx, before being sold to Atari. It was called the Handy (I hate that name), and it had a game ROM even by that stage, but developer docs do make it clear that tape decoding hardware is still built into the Mikey chip. An artefact of its earliest days is still there, but no software ever activated it. Trust me, I tried to find out how 😂
I love the Lynx, and the story behind its conception and design. The idea of loading games from tape for a console is really different, and the way it uses RAM instead of loading directly from ROM in way Japanese consoles did. I hope you continue to find more special and hidden features in the Lynx, I think the community really appreciates it.
There’s a familiar name! How did you find this? Are you in a Lynx group too? I hope I conveyed that I appreciate it much more now than I did back then.
@@BrekMartin I regularly look for videos on retro gaming and found yours by chance I think! I'm in some Lynx groups but don't hang out on social media much.
Love your break down of the design and demo, have to love these older consoles how simple they were compared to the modern counterparts. Fond memories playing with the big sucker during swimming carnivals as a kid; It always had a crap screen and only the rich kids had them lol.
They're both in very good condition... I got my first lynx as I was repairing and ram upgrading portfolios back in the day. I now have a screen upgraded V2 and every commercially released game; the only console I went crazy collecting for.
Something we do at work when bolting two aluminum parts together is to apply dielectric grease to a Scotchbrite pad and buff the surfaces. The Scotchbrite bad removes the oxidization while the dielectric grease protects the fresh aluminum from re-oxidizing.
In the UK I had a 80cm dish pointed at 1°west I think, a normal sky box, and a separate d2mac box, with a green smart card with chips on the outside, everytime you needed a new code you could call this hotline number, and get the new codes, tv1000 canal plus etc etc
What soldering iron are you using and what are the settings? I’ve heard even with a specialized flux and solder metal blend you still need a torch to get the AL hot enough. Are you sure that can isn’t tin plated steel?
@@EbrahimAziz-im4uh in the United States Coca-Cola cans are made from aluminum and it's very obvious the way that the metal is flexing that it's aluminum it's not tan or steel or some other material you can solder aluminum you so that's the point of the mineral oil The mineral oil while you clean or scratch the surface of the aluminum that allows the solder to here to the aluminum has to be free of oxygen oxygen instantly oxidizes aluminum you could perform this with the same results by soldering the aluminum pieces in a oxygen free environment such as in a vacuum no oxygen no oxidization and yes industries weld aluminum pieces all the time so the purpose of the mineral oil or in his case Vaseline is simply to keep oxygen from touching the aluminum that is to be soldered and yes you can solder aluminum how do you think they make soda cans and beer cans in the first place I've seen the video and how they make them they solder the lids to the aluminum can however it's done in a oxygen free environment
The electrical length of your counterpoise is the sum of all of your radials (not sure how you split the cable - if you split it into 4 strands you get 20m electrical lenght). DX Commander has experimented with lengths and number of radials, it's on his YT channel.
