Hi Fred, I have recently acquired a Retevis MB62, It's not working properly so I'm awaiting a refund. Should I buy the same again or something different/better? It will receive only, so as they don't want it returned I put a switch on the white wire, I get lots of different channels but none seem to be the UK cb frequencies on FM is this correct?
That is not silver soldier it's soft soldier
🙂
I just bought one & it's spelled correctly.
For the Muppets band where should the rings be? I can't get the swr down
Seems to vary. Try near the very top. Also try to keep the rings as far from your mounting pole as possible. Slide the base right up on the U clamps.
This is no old-timer horse drawn steam engine carriage.
Nope
The great Revelation sign happened exactly 23 days before this happened over Europe, Sept 23rd 2017, the Amber warning
How is the wire connected to the receiver? Cheers
Hi PL 239
When running, the valve probably doesn't use full possible stroke.
Just finishing building old smoky kit your videos very helpful you are right about steam pipes not easy to fit got there in the end by doing what you did
Glad you enjoyed the build. very rewarding when completed.
I made a rubber wheel with a shaft to put in a drill. Very handy for starting small engines with the big flywheels.
So if its firing every stroke at low RPMs, its a 2 stroke? I noticed the exhaust closing at low RPMs, and staying open at hi RPMs, as it should. But no movement of the intake. And theres no ports at the bottom of the cylinder? 🤔
Yes that makes sense. It must be 4 stroke.
@UK-CB-RADIO you mean a 2 stroke. Without a cam, the exhaust valve would either open every rotation or stay closed every rotation, except for when it opens to keep from over reving. But I dont see any room for ports on the sides of the cylinder, so. I dunno. The manufacturer says its a 4 stroke, but Chinese manufactures will say anything.
i really enjoyed watching this episode. the whistle handle is over the heat vent in the fire box be careful or other wise the handle will melt
Thanks for the tips!
PLEASE DO NOT ADD MUSIC TO ANY DIY DEMO VIDEO. MY EARS HURT AND MY MOOD IS ANGRY.
Er ok. Guess I am sorry about your mood then.
Forgot to ask, did you buy this with illuminated door sill, installed at the factory? Or was it installed after you purchased from dealer. Thanks
Hi. It was a factory fit order at the time of buying the car
Hi Fred Thank you for the video, great fun
Hi Fred What's the exhaust valve clearance supposed to be looks quite a lot. Enjoyed the video
Hi Iam not sure but it does have a wide gap.
What a shame it won't cover uhf on AM for mikitary airband.
You can’t unlock it like the older versions
Got to do this on daughters car. Thanks so much for the vid, its going to help me a lot.
Glad it helped
Hey got a question about the old mamon roadster. I have one what oil can I use to lubricate it? I don’t have any special oils on hand just normal.
I just use 10w engine oil.
23 lbs? Mine is alot lighter
Should of put one on each wall of the shed
"I'm gonna cut myself" 😂😂😂
After watching this video I ordered the ATS 25AMP. I compared it to my 40 year old ICOM IC-R70 and I was really surprised. Utilizing the same antenna the ATX25 was not as sensitive as the R70 but very close. Getting around was more difficult due to the lack of all of the controls my R70 has, plus the R70 has the addition of filters and adjustments for you listening pleasure. All in all I was impressed with the ATX25, My Icom IC-R70 weights in at 16 lbs and this little lightweight came so close in performance .A great radio for travels.
I think for the money with some allowance made they are fine little radios.
This is different compared to the Mamod Wilesco's first run.
Even this Mamod steam engine roadster needed improvement. Thus making it look as good as new. I can tell by how much the paint was chipped off. I was thinking about using Prestone anti freeze/anti boil. I was thinking about the petroleum jelly that was used for fondue alcohol lamps.🪔 🔦 🍸 🍷 🍸 🫕 😕 😢 😅 😔 😂 🫕
It's sure worth looking at. It's just like the Barney Oldfield roadster ride that Marriott's Great America used to have. This amusement park was still going on strong during the entire 1970s. 😳
Hi Fred. Looking to purchase either the Raddy RF919 or the ATS25 Decoder 2. What is your recommendation?...
Hi. I would go the extra for the RF919. Sounds very good on SW with the big speaker system.
Hey, they're Chinese. Doing their best with Engrish.
Hey Fred. Ru going to hamfest on Friday. I'm thinking of driving up. Steve G0MQF near the mill in Park street
Hi. No working bud :-(

Does any one have the sequence of buttons to push to unlock without a pc like can be done with a UV-5 series

Is it a Battery Saving feature.
Re the country codes, I believe that Italy has 2 selections. It's either 4W AM/FM or 1W AM and 4W FM. I also noticed that I2 didn't have the full 40 channels.
Hello Fred, I've just bought and tested an ATS 25 AMP. I have an important question: WITH NO ANTENNA CONNECTED, does your unit have much higher noise, as seen on the S-meter, when you use the BFO-requiring modes (CW, RCW, LSB and USB) compared to AM?? Mine does, suggesting that the BFO spoils the good sensitivity seen on AM. I need to know whether to send mine back (if yours doesn't have this flaw), or keep it if all ATS 25 AMP units have this problem. When you have time, could you please respond below? TNX! Fred VE1FA
Hi. The BFO is only to be used on USB and LSB you dont need it on FM AM or CW. Ive not noticed an increase in the RF meter when using it. Mine does show a reading of around S4 without an antenna.
I specialise in these and other pre-built model engineering. These are well built but changing the governor spring to a bic lighter spring will get you a much better display hit and miss. Other tweaks on my channel. The one to get now is the excellent Retrol / MUSA HM-01. Chinese models at the best are the equal or superior to Western models now
Thanks for the info. I normally try to get them to run as slow as i can.
Good enough to refund the engine ? when its a legal requirement to refund something that is faulty.
Its just that DIYengine are an honourable company. A credit to them.
Nice one Fred!
Sweet sounding little engine
Thanks for the comments. I love playing with these little engines as well as steam models.
If you had a cordless drill or dremil with variable speed ajustment and put a rubber sanding arbor in the chuck and just ran it against the flywheel it would make easy work for starting .....just a thought .........amazing how those wee engines work
Chuck up a skateboard wheel,or a rubber scuff eraser.
Dremel is too fast with too little torque. Use a cordless power drill.
A masterclass in fault isolation.
that's a great little model fred thanks for that 👍👍
. Good job on the engine. Steam train 🚂 😊
Well done fred that is a interesting engine
