I bought one new about 20 years ago and mine came with an extra bit of aerial that when on 4 meters you screwed this extra bit onto the rubber duck type aerial. It has been the best Hand held that i have owned.I remember many years ago stopping in a hotel by the sea in wales and having a really good chat to a guy simplex many miles away . However, it got so hot running its full power about 5 watts I had to put it down as it was burning my hand lol.. As I say I still have it, but it does need a new battery pack as it doesn't hold its charge for long.
Thanks, that’s very interesting information. There is an equivalent battery you can buy nowadays. For a different model. Give the local radio shop a ring and see what it is. I’m not sure myself.
@@digitalanaloguehamradio I will have a phone around and see if I can locate a replacement Battery Pack. I did forget to mention that I'm sure my handheld transmitted on nearly any frequency that it received on. Two of us bought them at the same time brand new, However My friend lost his interested in ham He hardly used his, and I think It's still in a box in his loft.
The radio does transmit on virtually any frequency it’s quite dangerous so I did not want to mention what frequency is it would transmit on . Thank you for watching my videos.
It is the stock aerial that came with it. There are a few actually that come with it. And they are all rather poor. An aerial that does 6 2 and 70 is hard to come across. So I have concluded its best to get a dedicated. 2 and 70 and then I get extra for 6 and another for 4
