Thanks for taking time to make this. They seem quite low quality and a few weird design choices. The fact you had to fix it to make it work. I will stick with my wonder wand and this has convinced me it was a good buy.
When you connect a wire to the antenna & counter poise, use 6mm or more earth bond wire, the difference is on recieve/ speaker wire signal 6 / earthbond wire signal 9+++
May I ask how you rewired it? I can't see very clearly in your video. mine is literally different than what is shown in your video. The bottom of the box is black and the two wires are also black, I can't understand which ones are soldered to the central one and the ground. Thanks in advance
Hi there, i own 2 of them trancivers, and i did get an antenna like that for them, its just another brand, same antenna, with original internal battery i have tune this antenne on 20 meter now, 1.0 in swr and about 8 watts out, i think its cool stuff, cheap and it works some how :) Best regards from Norway
Many thanks for watching. These radios are good value for money. Despite some small issues. I find them ideal for portable outside low power operation. Normally I only use 20m and 40m and have settings in radio just for those bands. Happy adventure in radio. Cheers from old George. 🤠
I think you turn the knobs to best results. Then write them down on a piece of paper. So the next time you use it on whatever freq you first used it on. You turn the knob to whatever you written down and it is a way of remembering the best results. George
