Thanks for your ideas, very useful. Some more things you might want to research and find for the IC-705.... 1) A tiny portable CW key and / or keyer paddle that might be incorporated into a base support or otherwise attaches to the 705... 2) A separate BP272 battery charger that is much smaller than the Icom BP202 unit... 3) Solar panel charger for the BP272 battery... 4) Form-fitting hard or soft case to surround / protect the '705 when tossed into a random backpack... 5) Well-designed sun/rain shield for the '705 so the display is readable in sunlight... 6) The most-requested feature: Antenna tuners!

@HamRadioCrashCourse 3 года назад

Those are all great ideas! I have most of that gear I would consider good for all portable radios. I can do a follow-on video to support all radios. 👍

@donizzo8884 3 года назад

Nice accessories and more to come - I forecast additional content. Thank you for the information on the Signal Stick - I just ordered one!

@BryanGrigsby 3 года назад

I think the arrow loop was the best out of the bunch. I picked up the 705 specifically to help hunt RFI, in home and powerline. Great idea.

@HamRadio2 3 года назад

This was great, thanks for posting. I have that Windcamp mount and like it alot. Now I am going to go order that VS-3 from Gigparts.

@eddiehatherall6257 3 года назад

Josh I have made a simple mod on the Windcamp bracket. I have milled out a square 1/2 mm deep so the bracket is prevented from rotating by locating over the square protrusion from the 705

@HamRadioCrashCourse 3 года назад

Smart!!!

@kenthufford743 3 года назад

Great video, very timely. I have the WINDCAMP mount, very useful. I have the COMET 350 antenna, still cannot get it to tune properly. You look very professional all dressed up in a collared shirt and nice sweater. Congrats.

Thanks for watching. I shot that after I got home from work :D

@AD6DMDennis 3 года назад

Having difficulty finding Christmas gifts for everyone and here I am buying all these things for my 705. I blame you HOSH.

@HamRadioCrashCourse 3 года назад

It be like that sometimes.

@propagating-radio 2 года назад

Great video. Thanks for the suggestions Josh.

@dovetomarc 2 года назад

Josh, you always do a great job. One quick comment. The Signal Stick, or any HT Antenna directly attached to the 705 will not work very well because the radio doesn’t have the required shielding and the swr is through the roof. You either have to get the antenna off the radio or make a Counterpoise which will get the swr to around 2-1 or 1.5-1 but it varies by antenna.

@TomR459 3 года назад

wow that arrow loop looks awesome but its reassuringly expensive

@HamRadioCrashCourse 3 года назад

Indeed!

@ChrisN8PEM 3 года назад

Nice and informative and dig the Christmas vibe. What a world where you have to cover ‘how I acquired what’ for the naysayers. Can’t wait to see the 705 antenna video.

@turtlekoff1 3 года назад

I have the Bioenno 12Ah Battery for power and the Manfrotto Tri Pod and in my opinion they are must haves for the 705. The tripod for sure, only 17 bucks on Amazon. Thanks Josh !

@MarkTimblinvaperman 2 года назад

I have the IC 705, have the backpack, also have the Heil headset. Cup holder for in the motor home. Love the 705, got it because I have the 7300 as well. Looking at getting the VS3 Bluetooth microphone at some point. Thanks for the video!

@WQ9FHamRadio 3 года назад

Great video, looking forward to the antenna video!

@stephenzedalis4012 3 года назад

I like the Heil Sound HTHD-I headset and Elecraft T1 ATU with my 705.

@gjgp225 3 года назад

I noticed that manfroto pixie and had to have one, truly is perfect for my 705 ! Love this video, thanks Josh ! KC1NYE

Hi,good video, looks cool, nice quality, I will ask santa 🎅, thanks from Rotterdam.

@ve7lgt Год назад

Also I carry a small JBL bluetooth speaker its larger than the front mounted speaker and when turned on it will cut the speaker mic audio

@josegregoriogonzalez874 3 года назад

Josh, excellent video as usual. Can you recommend some sort of front face protection accessory for the radio itself? I am looking into SOTA applications here in Argentina and the original Icom backpack is not practical for a long trek so I was thinking on using my regular big backpack to hold not only the radio equipment but everything else.

@kbjerke 3 года назад

Thanks, Josh! Great video, as always. Now, while I'm not exactly stuck in the "Spark Gap" era, I do enjoy using more "vintage" radios, especially weak signal, in the 2m 6m range mostly. My rigs can cover almost every frequency from DC to LIGHT, but for some reason those are the ones I find myself on most often. SSB QRP mostly, but on occasion FM. Used to play with digital, but that seems to have fallen out of my attention span these days. Would you consider covering or reviewing a few vintage rigs in the future? Especially those in the 2 and 6 meter range. Thanks, and best wishes! 73 de Karl VE3GUN

@564Fire 3 года назад

Great video Josh! I am about to put in my order for the 705! Super excited to get up on a summit and try it out! 73, K6SUD

@guitarist549 2 года назад

Do you remember where you got the right angle BNC adapter? Most I find seem to swivel so I'm looking for one that doesn't.

@AliReza-zx8km 3 года назад

@stridermt2k 3 года назад

Thanks for the video Josh! That is a nice radio, and you picked some cool stuff! I am really liking my Bioenno battery. A worthy investment 73 de N2NLQ

@2326TX 3 года назад

So you're a ham guy, I have a question. Cleaning out the old barn, and found a couple radios. They look like CB radios but only have 8 channels, on the bottom it has a label that says agricultural use only. What frequency are they on? Can they be used on CB frequency or GMRS frequency?

@KGraham 3 года назад

Backpack is nice but, ouch, $169??

@Earl_of_Peck 3 года назад

So I bought my IC 7000 in 2007. And I love that radio. It has been an amazing radio for me. However with the IC 705 coming out I am hoping for "IC-708" What the heck is that? Well there was a IC 703 and then a 100 watt version the IC 706. So I am hoping they will make a 100 watt version of the 705. And I will buy it. What do you think....you think there is a 100 watt version coming?

@dl4qb-andre938 2 года назад

It is already there, called Icom 7300. If you put 100W to the 705, you need some areas to build and fans and heat sink..maybe you also want a tuner inside...and for all that stuff included more weight and size what you have already with the 7300. Ok, not VHF / UHF if really needed on portable opearation. Just my 50Cent.

@earleclemans4836 Год назад

High dollar radio with low output. lightweight

@OutdoorsIQ 2 года назад

Did you try this signalstick with the IC-705? People are getting high swr unfortunately!

@HamRadioCrashCourse 2 года назад

It’s needs a counterpoise.

@OutdoorsIQ 2 года назад

@@HamRadioCrashCourse thanks mate, look forward to seeing your ic-705 antenna video

@n9oqu 3 года назад

can you use Samsung or apple ear plugs with the Icom 705 via the bluteooth connection?

@timothygoetz9742 2 года назад

what right angle adaptor do ?I need to connect my diamond srh77ca hy antenna to the 705 rig? (I'm a newbie)

@pale_2111 3 года назад

I got a IC-705. Love the radio, but running into some problems with some BNC HT antennas. First antenna I bought was a Comet BNC 24 connected to a 90° BNC adapter I bought from Amazon. The SWR is sky high and even tried grounding the radio with the same result. Figured it was a bad connector and bought some more from HRO. Once those connectors came in, I gave those a shot and the SWR is still high. Thought I got a bad antenna. Ordered a Diamond RH77CA BNC antenna and got it on a 90° connector. Once again, the SWR is still sky high and changed the connector. And again, the SWR is still high. What I mean by sky high, the SWR is maxing out the SWR meter on the radio. So far, I cannot use an HT antenna mounted to the radio without getting SWR through the roof. I can hook it up to my Diamond V2000a home base antenna with 75ft of LMR 400UF and a 90° BNC to PL 259 adapter. That's the only antenna I can use to work 2m SSB/FM and D-STAR repeaters with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 73, W4ISB.

@W9UUM_EN43 3 года назад

I ran into the same problem with HT antennas. The best one I found for 440 to use with my hotspot is the Diamond SRH320A with SMA to BNC adapter and BNC 90 degree adapter. On 440 it is round 1.3. However, on 2 meters it is still almost full scale on the SWR meter.

@pale_2111 3 года назад

I put a counter poise on the ground and got the swr down to 1.25.
