Very well done. Good pace. Very clear

Thank you for this! I just got an FT 891 and this has been a great tutorial.

I like your content about operating HF mobile. That is a subject that is of great interest to me. Those are some good looking Tarheel antennas. I like the Hustlers too. I think both are good quality equipment. This is Jack Daniel / KF5SGC. 73.

This is an excellent introduction. Clear, concise, but also explanatory.

When people make these videos they assume that everyone is inside their head and know what they're talking about.

Thank you Great Video, you sold me on it.

All this talk about Accsoon made me go out and buy the SeeMo and guess what? This thing is AMAZING - a big thank you @frankwc0o ! Thank you too @vidivy for bringing up the @Accsoon name. I can now sell off all my Ninja gear.

You sound like a big complainer for small stuff.

Does this clear programmed frequencies.

I thought of this as a possible concept after using the clunky and noisy Ninja Vs. But only 1080P? - come on! and still needing a large battery? instead of USB C power? This is starting to look like something from the past again. At best I would use this as a monitor for a camera - let's see what the software has to offer. who watches anything on 1080 anymore?

Bonding, bonding is key to your HF bands, minimum bonding straps 1”. Hood corners each side, your doors each hinge, your back your hatchback bonding both corners, your muffler to frame, if you have a catalytic converter muffler clamps and 1 feet before and after the catalytic converter for bonding, also body to frame. Driver side and passenger side of vehicle bonding every 18”. The radiator antenna is looking for RF, your trying to get the RF closest to the bonding potential not at but closest too. HF in a vehicle requires lots of bonding. There is no way around it. There is a good video by Mr bbi subject is called bonding, and another video is called install of vehicle is another video he lays out. Those videos will get you more educated on your vehicle and your bonding potential. Also electrical from your alternator to your battery to your frame requires bonding as well. Your ECG computer if you do not have any 31 material ferrites when you key up it will play havoc with your wiper blades your fuel pump your headlights just the name of few. You need those ferrites at the ecg computer at least 3-4 on each cable harnesses. I understand about the non-mentor that you do not have have your ever tried joining a repeater club? If you have more question, please do not hesitate to ask

Yet again.... Many thanks!!

Thanks Frank. Another awesome video that saved me a bunch of time!!!

Thats good, but the channels (non fm) still cut off whatever is being played on fm

This is Atomos desperately trying to catch up to Acsoon - which is hilarious.

I'm consistently unimpressed with Atomos product designs.

VERY helpful!!

WX on is when your radio switches automatically to weather channels and back to your scanning WX off will not interrupt your scanning channels

Frank I think you're portable.

Very helpful video. Currently on a Diamond SD330. Looking forward to upgrading to 75A as the SD330 is very similar to LTII. Fuse is used for +13.8VDC power connection.

❤

Good to know about 75A. I have a Diamond SD330. Good point about Auto tuning controller. I was recently thinking of getting a Tunematic Auto but decided that it costs too much so went with Tunematic Lite as well. I figured, if the positions are memorized, I can just fine tune from there. I too agree that on a Diamond K400C mount, any Tarheel except for the Baby Tarheel would put too much torsional load on the mount during highway driving.

Really helpful. More fun than reading the manual!

Thanks I had a older radio and this was a little intimidating until I watched your video.

Thanks for helping me setup my FT-991A. I'm wondering about how to ground it the first floor spare bedroom of my house. Do I need to run a ground wire out the window? Thanks - KF0owb

I liked the video. I’m glad you reviewed the 75A in particular because I’ve been wanting one of those for a while.

Does it work with android?

Nice to know some manufacturers listen to their customers!

No 4K. recording..?

I think what is going on is the power supply. So I did something I used to do when I was a kid, just wiggle the wire on the back, and boom, it worked. So, there is probably something loose in the power supply.

Why are you screwing around with this radio without the antenna attached? I guess you want to risk blowing it up. 😊

Hello, hope it's not too late to comment here... quite interesting video, thanks. I happen to have the 3 single-band variants of this antenna for 10, 20 and 40m. I'm quite happy with these. Bandwidth is quite narrow on 40m as expected, but on 10 and 20m I get good SWR across the bands. I use a large diameter magnet mount (~ 20cm/8in diameter) set right in the center my car's roof which doesn't have a sunroof like yours, so more metal there. I was actually wondering why you keep setting your antenna to quite off-center spots in this video? For 20 and 40m, I also connect a wide ground braid that goes from the bottom of the SO239 to a nut at the hinge of the hatchback of my car. It does help.

Hi there, I've just bought an R60 rollable, to use with a 20Ah Lifepo4 battery and my IC-705. I have no idea when the panel was made, do you know if they have a "best before date", or some life expectancy?... In advance, many thanks for your time. Best regards, Manny 73 de 2E0HJN

I love this radio. I’ve had mine for about 6 years now. After my son became a ham he requested the same radio. I wasn’t going to say no 😂. It’s funny though you get a couple of famous KZfaqrs finally discover this rugged radio then everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Yeasu has a great product here and I hope they don’t mess with it. I use a SignalStick with BNC and a bnc stubby and the Long Ranger with it. But if I’m on the water I stick with the stock rubber duck to keep the radio 100% waterproof. 73’s

The 891 isn't the replacement for the 857D . The 891 no uhf or vhf . No SSB 2m is a big miss!😮

OMG, your edema is horrendous... get that checked out... that is a precursor sign of diabetes.... get rid of the carbs mi amigo!

ft710 is number 4 on rob list to the ic 7300 down the list top notch the ft710 sdr radio well made vy 73

As soon as I sell my Kenwood ts850s I will have enough to buy one of these fine machines. Thanx for the video, I am now not so intimidated by this radio, I was worried, but not now not so much, looks easier than I was anticipating!!... Thanx!!

This is a great help as i have just ordered one of these radios

This vid is priceless!!!! Thank you x 10000000!!!

Thank you very much. It was very helpful.

Great video. Is there a setting in the radio that switches from internal bar antenna to the antenna connection on the radio? If so, where is that setting located.

The guys that bought one are you still happy with it? I'm considering buying one myself.

How do you update an existing memory with different settings - I tried selecting a memory, making minor changes (like CTCSS Tone) and then long pressing the A>M button, but it just deletes the memory and then switches to memory No1. Not useful.

Thank you George N9VTB

Thanks, you are a very good teacher, just bought a used 857d ,2006, model works great.

Excellent. Thank you.

Best video for a newbie on the FT710..thanks...I followed along with my unit beside the screen. I learned that I seem not to have the antenna set incorrectly because I am not picking up anything on the 20m band. Now I have to check the antenna out.

That would be great to have.

You DON'T press a PTT without a matched antenna attached, Frank. It can damage or destroy the output stage of the radio. Take heed, beginners, this was a poor demonstration.
