Got one of those through Buy Two Way Radios about 5 years ago. Great HT. They through in a tri-band whip with it so I don’t have to change antennas for 220.
I just got my tech license tonight. I used GMRS for the past year and decided to have more options. I’ll probably take my general in about 2 months after getting my mobile and HT radios squared away. Then I can do HF…….. it never ends.
Thanks for posting. Two things, 1 looks like you are moving some hardware around in the shack. 2 this radio looks unimpressive. Thanks for saving me money
Thank you for the look at that one. I do plain to buy but had outher expenses. I do have the Nagoya tri band 220 antenna . so far I found my girlfriends Talkpod A36 can do 222 MHZ. works but not great. power is low and RX not so good but on UHF it works super better than the UV 5R sound. but still suffers over load on RX with strong signal near but. most of them China ones do that .Ham Radio DX has a video on that. you may need to put that longer whip antenna on for 220 band.73's
@@HamRadio2 don't you have a meter to see how much it bleeds over on the harmonics? Isn't that what the biggest fail these Chinese radios fail the most with the FCC?
@@jeffallen3382 That test shows spurious emissions, it doesn't show anything about FCC compliance. And as I said in the description of the video, this is a revamp video from 5 years ago. I didn't have the test equipment at that time. I am planning to do an update to this video soon, with more info
