As an older aged learner, I found this useful. It highlighted some concepts that I’ve been grappling with. For someone without English as a first language you’ve done well with the delivery. As an OCD, I jar with the use of capitals and lower case - RADIO, not RADiO. Problem with decoding though if trying to something which is deliberately non-English, eg 5 letter groups. Lucky we are not at war!

That short coil looks more like a Buddipole coil for 40 - 10 meters. I have the Buddipole Deluxe although I rarely use it, and it has the same coil clips. The Mad Dog coil looks similar to the Wolf River Coils and REZ coils. I wonder if the Mad Dog coil can handle 100 watts. People have said that the Wolf River Coils coil melts when it gets too hot. 73 KD5YOU

I dont know if you monitor this as old as it is, but what does the potentiometer do?

In testing the one I just completed I was heard by an SDR weblinked radio in San Francisco California. I am in Mesa AZ. (about 600 miles give or take). Unfortunately my RX circuit has a squealing noise much like a digital mode signal being received

hi, i have an 18v solar panel. so with this mppt board will it charge the 3s 18650 batteries directly from the mppt? or does it need the bms board too? i note that the 18650 3s requires 12.6v to charge, so does the mppt board put out 12.6v? thanks.

Always appreciate and enjoy your videos.

Hey, where did you happen to buy one? I can't seem to find one for purchase anywhere. Thanks in advance.

I was working a 200w station at a friends house he had a vertical and didnt believe in grounding. The heli mic touched my lip wile transmitting and man that hurt had me jumping out of my chair.

FAKE VIDEO: The operation of an antenna and a tuner described in the first part is only what the author of the video believes. The same goes for what the impedance is... Very naïve! Knowledge belongs to those who have studied: everyone else publishes videos. Overestimating one's own competence is typical of those who know very little (Dunning-Kruger effect)

the trick to spell the name quan sheng, is similar to chair share😁

Since I've come to rely on your unun-winding content, I'll probably check one of these out. But not with AliExpress; that company has been nothing but a recurring nightmare. Of the four or five things I've ordered from them, four of them were scams that I had to ultimately get a refund on, and the fifth appeared to be a scam but after getting a refund on that too, the product actually showed up about 4 months later! I'll probably go eBay or something...

Merci

Very nice printer - not so nice price! But looks like you get what you pay for.

Hello Gil! I initially watched this video some time ago, probably 4+ years ago. I just joined VMARS today. Thanks again for introducing me to the PRC-320. It’s a fantastic radio!

Bonjour Gil. Dois-je comprendre que le cablage est différent entre le (tr)Usdx et le Micro Retevis HK008. J'avais essayé avec des adaptateurs du commerce pour chaque fiche. Ça ne marchait pas. 73 de F4LCF

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)

Thanks for the video. I was looking at the Wolf River coil, but their website is rather poor and the prices steep, so I was considering building my own coil. The Mad Dog is very affordable and is a well thought out design, so I just purchased one.

Hello and thank you for the video, I’m having some issues when trying to upload the custom firmware, I have followed your instructions but when I get to the part where I select the com port and hit connect instead of the percentage going up I just get a message saying “no data received, is the radio connected and in flash mode? Please try again” I’ve tried many times and just keep getting that message if anyone could help me with this I’d be most grateful as I’m new to these radios and don’t know much about programming them

Merci beaucoup, il me reste plus qu'à changer de radio.

Ron Taylor fixed my QCX Mini with the same problem, no power out, yet it could receive great. It turned out to be L1 and L2 toroids not having the enamel completely burned away. He mailed it back to me and it should be here next Tuesday (5-28-24). I have a 40 meter version coming (QCX-Mini) that I will be using an exacto knife to scrape off the enamel. 72 de AI5DD Joseph Anthony

Bonjour Le lien envoie un firmware erroné, c'est vraiment dommage. En tout cas merci pour t'a vidéo 👍

Bonsoir, J'ai un Motorola xt460 et j'aimerais régler la fréquence suivante 143.9875 MHz. Toutefois je ne comprends car j'ai des canaux et ça ne correspond pas. Par avance merci pour votre aide. Excellente soirée. David

Ça sert a rien

Merci pour cette présentation intéressante, cordiales 73' F1PHL (Charles).

Bonsoir, très intéressant merci. Je m'y mets !

I had a KW 711A 2m all-mode 20 years ago. NOthing ever on CW/SSB. Now I have a Yaesu 736R with four-bands all-mode. SOTA/POTA has really kicked up the interest and usage of weak modes on all frequencies here in the US, so I expect to make contacts this time around. Hasn't happened yet, but I need more antenna (and more time to play radio).

Bonjour Gil. Merci beaucoup pour cette nouvelle vidéo ! 73. Jacky 14FRS119

Great video, many thanks!! Robert K5TPC

Merci pour cette information en français 🙏

You're very nice man thank you for sharing this video you're awesome😊

I not fan of lead free soldier too

Impressionné par les essais, mais loins d'être bon marché (>900chf sur Ali) ! D'autant plus qu'il me aemble que ce n'est pas autorisé en Suisse.. Merci pour la découverte ; )

4 years after this video was posted, I tried the link, but it appears to be not working fully. Am very interested in this build. Anyone know where I might find it in May 2024?

Put the flame on the fittings. Also to make cleaner joints wipe off the flux where you want no solder to be before soldering.

I have little use for metric, but you are correct that metric is better for applications such as this. 👍

The pluses of this radio is it can produce 30 W out and it is built ruggedly. THere are no specialised displays that might fail. However the tantalum capacitors used in the radio have been known to leak and change value and have to be replaced by a high voltage Tant. or equivalent. The disadvantages include use of custom integrated circuits which of course cannot be found nowadays . It also has a curiosity - one of the power busses is 110 Vdc - generated internally. Many of those sold through surplus dealers are sold untested, so you have to be careful if you can't see and test any unit sold over the internet. I investigated buying one years ago and all of these issues really put me off. TEF

any dimensions or drwawings of this pieces?

Concer,nant les mauvaises pratiques, depuis 4 ans rien ne change sur le 7MHz avec le chevalier blanc qui fout le brox en permanence... Je me rappelle dans les annees 80 si un cibiste avait fait ne serait ce qu'une seule soirée le barouf que ces radio amateurs mettent sur le 40 metres, le lendemain, tout son matos etait saisi... Mais que fair l'ANFR??? Serait ce parcequ'il s'agit que de radio amateurs qui se chamaillent que cela dure depuis 4 ans??? Ca devient lassant ces conneries, on se croirait fin des annees 80 sur le 27 MHz..... Une pure honte que le monde RA....

Merci beaucoup Gilles! Je suis un cousin Québecois, et ton anglais est très très bien! Je reçois mon k6 dans quelques semaines, et je vais regarder encore ton vidéo pour la mise à jour du firmware… 👌

Not gonna work as i live in North America. Awesome nonetheless. Licensed ham myself. Maybe someday ill get on the birds. 73

The radio prepper symbol. Like to have a hat with that sticker?

wear did you get that symbol, l love, old Army radio man.

Great to see 6M FM simplex being used. There's a few of us in the East of England that hope to start using 6M.

Link to buy this?

Everything pretty clear to the end then ''43 materials" 61 materials'" I did not understand? I think this is your description of toruids from earlier on and the makes?

First, thank you much for sharing your videos with all us, I have a quick question, How much power can this core hold in digital modes (FT8)? Is 30 or 40 watts okay?, Thank you in Advance,73 de K2WC

There must be some issue with the receiver, my AM is crystal clear! - but i have the ATS25X1, try to upgrade the firmware 73 Levi

Given you still need a smartphone, makes it useless for privacy purposes.

Merci pour votre réponse, mais je vais essayer et vous dirai si c'est pareil alors Cordialement Le vieux Tryphon Alain-Marc Niort
