Thanks, Ape. Videos like this give new hams and those who aren’t technically learnt, like me, confidence and tips to troubleshoot and maybe even repair on our own.

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

Thanks Mike 👍

@WaynesWorld69 Год назад

For a total noob like me your video give me a bit more confidence in doing my own repairs. Thanks so much.

Another good diagnostic and repair, Ape! I have that ATU-100 model. It’s the 3rd in a series of them that I bought for various portable rigs. I’ve not yet powered this model up, lol. But I’m now ready for it…I also have Dave’s DMM. I use it as much as my Fluke 87 V, especially the BT data logging feature. 73 de K4FMH

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

Hey Frank. Love this DMM, works really well. I need to do more testing with this ATU at some point, thanks for watching!

Son ... you did some nice "probing" there and got the desired result. Well done Sir! These are the type of vids that show the young'ns how it's done. 73 - KF6IF

Is this the "parts swapping" that used gear sellers are always talking about? 😉 Thanks for the video.

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

Haha, I think so Edward 👍

@KS0JD Год назад

Nice video. You ought to 3D print a stand for your voltmeter if it doesn't have a support on the back. I printed one off of thing-averse for my Kiweets. Just a suggestion. 73

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

Thanks for the idea Jeff 👍

I enjoy your videos. What's that skinny gizmo you were removing the OLED mounting nuts with and where do I get one?

Im new to radio, but can i use an antenna turner in a semi truck on CB radio?

@TheSmokinApe 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, you can. Welcome to the hobby 👍

@Get_er_Done_389 5 месяцев назад

@@TheSmokinApe some of them say different mhz, does that matter for cb radio?

ATU-100w.. is it a linear base amplifier?? Transmit 100W??

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

This one is a tuner not an amp 👍

@don_n5skt Год назад

I mean why not do it to show how awesome you are? That is why TO does it, right 😜 Should have gotten an AT-100M. I have had 0 issues with that one and I think it works better than the one I have of that model.

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

The 100m may be in my future 👍

@threadripper979 Год назад

Time for some reading glasses, Ape.

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

You are correct TR 👍

You just can't get good child labor these days!😅 You should not need to do lots of probing and fixing a brand new item.🤷‍♂️

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

Agreed, it should just work 👍

@Factory400 Год назад

The true cost of low-cost Chinese stuff is frustration+wasted day(s)+whatever you paid. I prefer to avoid this stuff if I have any other option at all. 😮

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

I think you are right F400, thanks for watching 👍

@muppetpaster 9 месяцев назад

Ofcourse it has tons og goop/glue on everything....The thing is (semi) PORTABLE.....You would not want its inerts to become loose after a while of jiggling and juggling in a bag or something.

@TheSmokinApe 9 месяцев назад

Fair point, but my Yaesu portable tuner isn't all goop'd up like that...

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I really wanted to like this tuner, then China got ahold of it.

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

I think they have a process for lowering quality 👀

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

@@TheSmokinApe they actually do!

@MrDwadi84 Год назад

Agree, this ATU's have very poor quality control, lots of chinese stuff have no quality control, and they're inserting QC stickers to all boxes without checking anything. I have 2 chinese ATU-100, one that you're presenting and other wth battery, but i think this that you have is lot better, because this ATU (also present on Aliexpress) with battery have inverter in always ON state, so this crap is discahrging even if you turn off this ATU, power switch cut power only to tuner... but rest is always active, and imagine getting sth crap to the field...

@TheSmokinApe Год назад

Agreed MrD, thanks for watching 👍
