WORLD FIRST in Ham Radio, Outdoor decking becomes a Ham Radio Antenna!👍😎
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Місяць тому
Hi all, I made my outdoor decking ( well the wire anyway) into a OCF Dipole, the resonant frequencies I targeted were on the 40 and 20 meter band. It just goes to show, you can make an antenna out of virtually any wire in any situation you have if you can improvise and adapt. The results were outstanding, lets take a look on how I did it!

Hi all, i recently purchased a CB Radio and the seller said i can have another one at no extra cost if I wanted it. Hell yeah, my day changed for the better when he dropped it of. I cannot believe my luck, a NOS President Grant which was the "STEAK KNIVES" along with the other radio I bought.
The Quansheng UV-K5 and the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM?🤷♀️🤔
Переглядів 9502 місяці тому
Gi day all. I bought the Quansheng K5 to see what all the fuss was about.Great radio, don't get me wrong, however how can a radio that can be so heavily modified be FCC or ACMA approved? I am not the Ham Radio Fun Police but this radio raises some serious concerns about what it can do in the hands of a unqualified user and should we be encouraging this as Hams in the first place??

Hey viewers, I purchased this recently, not the best one i have seen but as these "C" models are getting harder to find, i think it was well worth it? The most unique feature of this radio is the lights underneath the bezel shining down on the faceplate.

Переглядів 2904 місяці тому
Hi all, I sold this CP 2000 and its come back for a look over due to my ignorance of not completely checking to make sure it was working properly, i had the extra channels removed and this may have caused some of the problems. Its now fixed and its awesome, lets take a look.

I have a problem, the radio won't work with a black screen, previously it was still working... can anyone provide a solution?
Thank You for showing that I wish I'd have found this video 6 months ago! I had a President AR 44 CB with the exact same problem but I couldn't fix it because I didn't know how to do it and before I could take it to a CB shop to get it fixed I had it in my Camper Trailer which was stolen out of my drive way so I lost that plus a few other things.
I have the exact same one but with Abbree branding ... Abbree AR-2520 w/gps ... so I would say it's a mass brand radio and not Motorola or Abbree at all
Agreed Sir.
❤JUST what I was looking for, a long time, RIPPER! Thankyou from a new bie. More more LOVE the setup, birds & garden. Can i come visit😊 Cheers 73s 9V1KM KK7QGL Singapore
This was my first amp back in 1984. I sure wish I could have another one.
Very nice and rare radio. In fact, I do have one since the early 80's and I am now in the process of recapping it.
Whats the different between this & leixen 898sp
Hello can I push more than 50w
Not to my knowledge.
i have the superstar 360fm with the uniden PB010AB chassis which is the same as the cobra 148 gtl dx and it can pull out weaker stations better than my £2000 hf radio and for a radio that's now 43 years old that's amazing and I'll never part with it.
Yes, the filters in CB radios are only for that band, i have the same thing happen with some of my CB's outperforming on Rx my Ham radios.👍👍
I miss my TS-830 on the bench. I've owned 4 of them. My need the Band waffers cleaned, and the board screws loosened and retightened, and or add the star washers under them. The VFO tends to drift a bit. I have 2 TS-530's as well, a TS-930, TS-130, and a TS-50. I should have never parted with the station accessories. I even had the Scope, but I don't recall ever using it. N9XFX
Good ones are still out there mate!
Shit mate….. I forgot to add the cpi 2000 to that list. What a radio !!!!
How much? Because these may be good for making mini size, emergency repeaters!? Or a base station! Looking forward to the follow-up video. Thanks.
Buy several more, if they are any good. Then ask Motorola if they really make them. 😅
Teaberry Stalker IX AM/SSB Identical!
I am about to buy a 458 for $100. Can’t wait to use it. Great video sir!
Pa zar ovo nije model Abree AR 2520 25w.
Hi, friend. Do you know how the ICOM IC-211E opens the frequency? Mine only goes from 144 to 146Mhz and I want to have more open bands. And what about placing a subtone module for repeaters? Thanks for everything 73 from EA2BDR
You must have a model from Japan or Europe?
I bought it in Spain, Europe in approximately 1985. I think it will be the model for Europe@@vkradio1656
What circuit board is used in this radio?
MB8719
wow hard QA what year did you say 1980,s or did you late 1970,s hihi from Melbourne need a wine 🦘🦘🦘🥚🍧🐁🐀
1980's
Put it under the bed you know it’s there one day down the track the decision will come to you 👍
It is worth more if you don’t touch it and I would keep it
It’s the mb8719 pll board. I have exactly one like that and the earlier Grant D858 pll board, w/ only 3 push buttons(CB/PA, NB on/off and LOCAL/DX) both are FCC’s🙂. There your test radio on 0.55secs, love those two Grants!❤🙂
The answer is... sell it to me!
You are sure taking your time finding a Sony ICB SSB cb radio !!!
Sell it to me!! Name price that’s the holy grail for me
I would pull it out and use it! I found a midland 77-857 cb at my local flea market, it had been used but still had the original C.W Mcall convoy box and everything that came with it, the mic holder & screws was still in the plastic, i gave 35 bucks for it and it works very well. Good find.
Leave it stock, and sell it to me (please).
Sell as is, if I had this radio I would just do a cap upgrade and keep it stock as it is.
Raffle it to your loyal subscribers!! 😇😂👍
LOL, maybe.
@@vkradio1656seriously, I’m willing to pay just to join the raffle🙏🙂
I believe radios should be used,you can still be a collector , but i dont get NIB collectors ..
Tough one to answer, it always can be checked in future. However it can never be reversed once taken out. Maybe the only concern if never put into use, are the electrolytic capacitors. If the intention is to ever operate the CB.
I'd go crazy lol 73s from the bluegrass
If your gonna sell it don't open,
worth a extra 100 quid new, flog it. grap a nice dinner.
Are the components inside just as good as the SHARP , ? I haven't got a Panasonic yet but I would assume their inside quality is similar ? The Panasonic looks heaps better on the outside
Better i reckon.
Helo Friends. I need schematic. Thank's un avance. 73
Hello , do you have schematic from Stalker 101 from Teaberry ? Thank you soo much in avance. 73
Is the vfo add on for split operation
yes.
Cobra 148 GTL, the Rolls Royce of C.B. radios.
LOVE your videos! How do I get in touch with you? Can I email you or WhatsApp? Have a question regarding radio. Thanks Craig
Good job
Was the first Sharp that you bought 18 or 40ch , if 18 have you change it to 40 ? 73
40 bud.
Well over the years I’ve heard about people using a fence as an antenna never did quite believe it till today😂👍👍 well done 👍
I remember that radio, but not in the base station configuration. If I recall, those radios were usually mounted above the driver, in the middle, near the rear vision mirror. Seems like U.S. truck drivers liked that configuration, and worked both side drive. That's why the microphone socket was at the back of the radio, no sharp bends and it hung down at a reasonable angle.
Nice mate, is this for sale by chance? Vk4 station.
Not for now, but i will consider.
@@vkradio1656 shout out if you would consider it. Been looking for one for a while. Up in BNE.
No one was more surprised than Motorola that this radio is a Motorola.
😂
Awesome video
What is the magic formula for reversing repeater input direction? I showed 145.390 for output, held down 1 on mic keypad, input rptr input freq of 144.790. Now shows 144.790 as receive (output) and 145.390 as transmit (input ) freq. The opposite of what is needed. This is one peculiar transceiver. The manual is worse than awful.
Did you use the mic?
@@vkradio1656 that much I did do. What key or key combination reverses the offset? Also, how do you exit out of repeater programming. Long pressed the # key and it does nothing.
2 questions, where does one download the programming software? And, does this radio not display the repeater input frequency when keying the microphone? Any help would be appreciated.
I had to enter frequencies manually. As for the -+ display it changes colour only by memory. Thanks for watching.
I miss mine.One of the best ever made.
