The Xiegu CN-20 + The Yaesu FT-818 + The Xiegu XPA125B - I expect nothing less from Xiegu at this point in time. Xiegu reminds me of my day job with how broken things are, but are just passable enough that you still /need/ them.

Thanks for the video. I've added this amp to my IC-7,05, and it's been great so far. Like you, I had minimal expectations. Had to figure out some workarounds to get it to do what it was supposed to, but in the end, it was worth the upgrade.

It's a great amp and it's targeted to Xiegu products... but works with anything that can put out a PTT signal. I have a video on the 705 with this amp also and that is my default ham shack setup.

LOL! I just got my CN-20 last night. But I didn't have a spare audio cable (using my only one for the keyer) So now I know what to expect with my FT-818, which, as you alluded to about Xiegu products, is a bit hit or miss. Great video as always! 73

This looks like a great setup to have a portable low power draw RX radio with the option of high power TX. Most mobile 100w rigs draw much more in RX than I would want in an emergency mostly listening situation. Thank you!

That is why I like Amps that track the RF and don't use a non standard method for band switching. Nice video TO.

Glad I don't have to worry about 100 watts. I have a Yaesu 991a and it does 100 watts. My Kenwood 281a does somewhere in the neighborhood of 65 + watts. Cheers & 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

If you decide to go QRP why buy an amp? Nothing over 5 Watts here for 30+ years, I also bought an FT817ND in 2017. G4GHB

What's wrong with 6.926.39? I can't find info on it.
@temporarilyoffline
@temporarilyoffline Год назад
As far as I know, its not a ham band so it isn't valid for the demo I'm doing in the video. I'm sure its a very good frequency in its own right though.

You should not switch bands while transsmitting! good way to hose your rig up. Read your owners manual.
@temporarilyoffline
@temporarilyoffline Год назад
Thanks for the tip! I don't know who would have any reason to switch bands in the middle of transmitting, but for the person that needs this info, I'm glad you were here for them.

This video sponsored by Sigh-gu. A bit disappointing that you add the board to do the thing and it doesn't do the thing (automatically follow bands).
@temporarilyoffline
@temporarilyoffline Год назад
Right, it's advertised as working with the 817 and NOT the 818... I can't imagine yaesu changed the band data output in that revision. There is also no firmware upgrade. But now we know and we start working on a fix.

It would be really hard to demonstrate how the 818 works with the XPA-125B if I was using a 100 watt rig.

@@temporarilyoffline Why would you get a QRP rig and then put a 100 watt amp on it. You've missed the mystique of qrp which is to use as little power as possible. Maybe you just don't get it.
@RF_Burns
@RF_Burns Год назад
Exactly, just buy an FT-891 instead. The 818 is a great rig for what it is, but it's no match for the 891 with it's digital filters, digital noise reduction, and digital speech processor with parametric EQ. 2 rigs for 2 specific jobs.

​@@jamesgeorge1709 You don't have to watch every video youtube suggests - and by watching this and commenting on it twice now, you've told RU-vid that you want to see lots more videos like this one - so be careful what you watch in the next few days so that you train youtube out of this. They might think you're more open minded than you really are.
