I need your help I’m in Ontario Canada where can I contact you Carole VA3WHU

Great video! What was the distance between the 1st two operators?

I love my G5RV. ..I'm at 1,477ft above sea level

At the 2:45 minute mark, Are you saying we can connect HRI200 to a FT5?

You mention multiple bands, I've just purchased an old Yaesu FT101B circa 1973 from ebay. It's in extremely good condition, and receives well on all bands, but will only transmit on 40 metres. As a matter of fact it transmits extremely well on 40 metres into my half wave dipole. It has built in plate and load, not unlike a modern linear. Could it be because I've got a mismatch to the other bands?

Excellent, but why does the CG need a breather if it already has a drain hole?

Hi Mark I honestly enjoyed your presentation, knowledge and style! I just want to get you an honest feedback. 2 weeks ago I got my 850l. It comes with everything and can do everything. Yes, the display gets dark in bright sunlight. This is true! But it's a backup radio. We used it in my German flying club and communication was perfect even with a plane approaching from a direction where our hangars block communication with our other handhelds. In comparisom to cheap yaesu and icom devices it works better. It also works fine with my headset Raytalk ANR 600, sold under different brand names in the world. Just tested it today. Read you 5 was the answer. For me the Yaesu 850 is a great device and Bluetooth is a game changer. Still the visibility in direct sunlight is bad. In an emergency situation you can always change your viewing angle... I really like this device. You can set up everything as you want . It is delivered with all accessories except an external PTT button and just works perfectly. Best regards from Bavaria, Germany

TS-890 and the TS-990 closest I'll ever get is watching youtube videos and looking at advertising brochures. Heck I can't even afford a used TS-2000 which is my semi-affordable grail radio! (willing to take donations). I still caress my tired but loved old TS-520S though.

It's such a brilliant video. Thank you for posting.

I've been rocking a TS-890 for almost 2 years now and couldn't be happier with it. Unlike some other brands, it's very obvious it was designed by engineers who are also active hams.

Why does it need a breather when it has a drain hole?

Excellent video as always, thank you Richard.

Where can I purchase the UN UN?

I love this place kk4ekk Tennessee

I love it you have everything Donnie Kk4ekk Tennessee usa

Wire antenna? Is there any other kind?

I purchased and built the end fed antenna from ARRL. With my Elecraft K3 and the internal 10:1 tuner I can use it on ALL Bands from 80 Meters to 6 Meters and sometimes it will tune 160 Meters. I don't quite understand why 160 is hit and miss.

Almost double price for a new case and for fw that will stay in beta forever? No, thanks.

If I want to put in my truck what kind of wiring and plug do I need. I’m in the US.

Instead of using expensive wire for antennas has anyone thought of using washing line (plastic coated steel wire very strong only £1:50 for 20 meters at asda works a treat and lasts for years

Hi new to this, but do you run your antenna cable from 1 pole across to another? Does distance matter? Does height matter, Does the antenna wire have to be straight between two poles or can you run the poles or points into an L shape? If garden not long enough. Many thanks

Excellent vid and great information Richard, 73 Mike M1KEY

Good vid Richard thanks mate

Hey Richard Better know as wet string lol😂

Great video Tony, just one thing, my daughters speak, Chinese, and the correct way to say the radio name is the X is said as SH, so everyone says Zygoo, and it should be Shygoo. Keep up the good work with QRP demos.

Could you help me I am looking for a display unit or light board for my ts 2000 Donnie kk4ekk

My first 100 watt hf radio was a ft101 in 1975. My latest Hf radio is the Ftdx101mp. Alvin Norris W8UJM

One of my favourite video. Thank you.

👍

Nice to see your doing so well. It must be 30 or 40 years since we worked together.

Where can I get that clock in the U.S.?

Will you be exhibiting at Newark this year?

Great video, I have good memories of visiting the earlier shops close to Northfields Underground station, when I still lived in the UK.

Putting the prices back up before Tony gets back hahaha G1RHB // LZ4DJ

nice video ! love retro stuff !

The old gear is still the best. Is there any possibility of putting the faulty finds on the web?

As a newbie to radio it was a pleasure to watch the nostalgia. Id be curious to fast forward thirty years and see if we are reminiscing over the echo link app and meshtastics 😂 great video 👍

Always good to see you Martin, looking younger every day, take care.

Great video Martin, just love seeing things that bring back fond memories. Rocket Ron was a blast from the past.😊

I remember buying a VX7R from you in early 2000's! Would have ordered it on the phone and always remember speaking to Martin himself! I only just got my licence back then too! Can't believe it has been all that time as remember that radio well, was very well made as are all from yourselves.

Excellent company recently bought my Dx10 from you guys always a pleasant transaction and made to feel that your customer is valued. Love the videos some of the other emporiums could learn from the way you do business. Cheers 73 M7FLL.

Get well soon Tony.

I reckon I already got my dream radio, a Yaesu 991a. I use it for 2 meter sideband. Cheers & 73 from K9POW in eastern TN

Interesting video boss ... the green clock I received last week is perfect, particularly as it alters its brightness depending on light levels in the shack and as you say now has the remote - so no climbing on chairs! 73 GM4JKZ

When’s Icom coming out with a updated IC-7300 with video out to compete with the FT-710

I retired last Friday. Went to a garden centre today. Apparently it's what retired people do. I am pretty sure I bought a KDK 2m radio from you second hand not long after you started advertising. That's another brand of the past. GM4SVM

Great video Martin. Very interesting looking back. Radio and retail has changed dramatically eh. Keep safe.

Nice to see the guv earning his wages this week better give him a chair to sit on poor ol bugger lol

I didn't think there are still people out there who believes in c-vid being a real thing

Looking great bro, love the iPhone on the desk, did you take a pill ;-) ?
