Well, 32° is rather "cold"!!!

Anybody know what the K5plus is or the baud rate of it?

Do you put this between the ATU and the antenna and what happens when you tune and then TX

A bit too much backlight from your window there, making it hard to see the unit itself. Nevertheless, a good comprehensive look at the AC70P.

Handy with usb c

Nice little radio👍 Greetings from Kes-m0pkz

Looks a great radio Mike I be happy to receive thanks Andy de 2e0ree 73

Hi what type of grease did you use ?

Got back on the air in 1998 with a TS940 which served my needs for casual operating. But now retired and started my search for a premium mid range radio. Looked mainly at TS890 IC7610 and the FTDX101 which I leaned towards. Well just picked up an FT920 at a nice price instead to try my first Yaesu. Such a nifty 25 yo radio with a lot of knobs and buttons to work like the 940 but the deep menu system is very intuitive and fun. Probably wont get bored with the FT920 for a while and can still use the 940 along with the rest of my "antiques collection" which include a TS430 IC735 and Drake C Line.

Absolutely love this radio I currently have 3 that I use for ham and business radio use, nice and light for use on a mountain bike in a group, although they come only on the ham 2m and 70cms out of the box you can unlock them for full 136-174mhz and 400-480mhz use at the push of a button. 73 m7msc

Great to see you Mike.

Hi! When working precisely through sockets at small loads (30-100), the station, in addition to the fan, makes a sound "like a cricket" (sorry, I can't explain it any other way). I understand this may be the inverter's normal operation because this sound changes depending on the load. Have you encountered such a "problem"?

Seems pretty good for the price

Hi Mike,good to see you out n about:) looks like the same location you did the extending mast comparrison video years ago

Great video thanks for taking your time to show us this radio and it help what is like to hold it and help about the radio and keep up the great videos. M7FLM

Very nice radio for sub £40 especially the USB C charging capability. M7CVK

Great video. 73s from M7FJU

Tidy little radio that 👍

looks great thanks de zs5gmw

Great Video ! Thanks for the unboxing. I wish ALL manufacturers included the charging stand. Super nice.

You need to add some Extra Mature Cheddar on your Fish Finger sarnie.... :) mmmmm

Wanted to see how you removed the blind.

Yessss! Great review Mike. Finally a solution to powering my air fryer when away camping.

I have one of these slidewinders and once I found the correct settings I just made marks on an old wooden ruler, now I just hold the ruler to the coil to select the setting and it's almost always spot on first time. I also repurposed my stainless steel 102inch tank whip to sit on top, a magmount and a few radials, works well.

Great review Mike! I could really use one of those and it looks great. One question, will it charge a Tesla? 😂

We all make mistakes buddy, i quite fancy trying one of these myself sometime, good video and i think it’s the first time i have viewed your channel. M3VWN

Dear Sir: in a world where good manners, polite speech, and avoidance of personal responsibility seem sadly rare - this video is (1) a breath of fresh air; and, (2) very informative. Thank you for the good information. Greatly Enjoyed. KQ4IXD

I need one of these, thing they look great for a portable trip to Wales 👍

At least you fessed up. Too bad they let you know about the issue the next day, but it took you a whole month to fix it.

Where is she ?

Win win. Lucky guy. Great video 73

Well done to you and M1ECC Antennas for staying polite and positive and turning your mistake into a win-win, producing even better content, warning about clones and emphasizing the superior quality of their product. 👍

LOL....I saw the video and I have a Slide winder of my own and I never spotted the mistake 🤣.....Mark..m0mco

My Slidewinder sadly snapped in half , (my fault) so I purchased a Maddog coil which is much stronger.

Superb value coil. Great to see a youtuber Owning up to a genuine mistake, Good for you

mistake can happen but wonder where come from the "clone"...

I too appreciate the 817ND. I sold my previous one I owned with lots of upgrades like PegLegs and Kranker knob which is no longer being made. I also had TXCO and SSB/CW filter installed as well but then sold it. Then few years ago, I bought another used one with BHI NED1601 DSP and CW filter installed. It sounds so good on receive on SSB with BHI. Also installed PortableZero rail kit with stand which is a fantastic upgrade. If you own an FT817 now, don’t sell it like I did. It’s a really good radio.

Excellent, going there this weekend, very helpful to get the heads up.

Really useful information. Thank you

Holy sh*t, that dog is so cute and sweet. 😙😙😙

WOW!!! I followed your instructions and I'm able to populate LOG40M by sending log data from WSJT-x. You showed me how and I made one change to send the data to LOG40M from WSJT-x and it was simple AND it worked. Now everyone that I log goes into LOG40M from WSJT-x. Many thanks for this simple and easy way. Grid Tracker is next. Sub'd and liked!!

Good idea, would have liked to see your wiring diagram👍

Can you post the Watson 308 wiring colour code on to the ft847 as having trouble with mine

Do I understand correctly that the Jack sockets are mono? and you plug in stereo headphones normally and everything plays in both sides? I just want to do something like this for the Yaesu FT-710. Thank you for the delivery
