@KreugerAmg - it should be right below or next to the Short when watching depending on what device you’re watching on. If not here is the link: PCCM+ Porsche 911 (996) Upgrade to Wireless - Oh So Sweet!!! ua-cam.com/video/M6efd2010ho/v-deo.html. - enjoy!!!

@michiganadventures2784 - sure thing, send an email to us with your contact info and what your looking to program and we’ll text you back to set something up!

What is your email?

@ I’m near flint. Would like to set up repeaters in the area. Also GMRS frequency’s. What is your email?

@michiganadventures2784 - sure thing, send an email to us with your contact info and what your looking to program and we’ll text you back to set something up! Replied the same on the other thread - hit us up!

@marcocom6963 - I absolutely love it! So much easier with the wireless charger tray/shelf from Autobahn Engineering- it is spot on! Massive upgrade for the 996 - glad you liked it!!!

From Mick: @sim8324, thanks for watching and you are correct the unit has gaskets. At time of making video I found a note saying units are IP65 rated, now I see IP67, look up the IP rating chart, 65 says good against jets of water, 67 says 30 minutes in up to one meter of water. I may dig into that some more. These seem to be good little units.

From Mick: @daveengstrom9250, thanks for watching. There are privacy tones which can be used when talking directly to someone, simplex. If programed, the sending unit must match what is programmed on the receiving unit. Similar to repeaters, a tone must be programmed in the sending unit to “open” repeater to receive signal

From Mick: @xbrizzcakez, thanks for watching, words of confidence, and good suggestion. Let’s hope it’s a while til I gotta sweet pipes again, and let’s hope I remember your suggestion.

@@Portie2216 the end game is no leaks, however you get there, thanks

🤣 we’ll get er out when it’s sunny and dry!!! No salt!!!!

From Mick: @KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-304, yes, I used the CHIRP software and set up on the computer. Thanks for watching!!!!

@ okay yeah manual programming you csnt name channels lol

From Mick: @kchedville, thanks for watching. I need to test output watts again, I just realized I tested watts on a simplex channel and not a repeater channel, i’ll test again shortly and post an update. 73’s

@@Portie2216 Thanks for the reply - will be watching out for you next post. :)

From Mick: @Mario-Bangood, thanks for watching, you are correct, the radio did have Bluetooth already. It was my error, I found out it had BT after posting. One viewer indicated using the dongle could reduce wear and tear on internal components. Thanks again.

From Mick: @ThePainWhisperer, 🤣 thanks for the comment and watching, these small radios do a lot of stuff and I learn more each day. Thanks again.

@publicapeakingbasics - thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!!!!

From Mick: @ThePainWhisperer, thanks for the nice comment. It was fun making that with the kids over the summer here in MI.

From Mick: @stevenwright5483, I do like the display, nicely laid out, but the red color text is hard to read in bright daylight

@christopherboutsioukos7476 - I held the weatherstripping down and rolled the window up, then pushed the weatherstripping down while rolling the window down. Takes a few cycles but you’ll eventually get it seated!

From Mick: @YangiTheCat, thanks for watching and the nice comment, much appreciated. It’s always fun here in MI during the summer and what better way to test equipment.

@ I’m gonna get this first walkie talkie I will use for climbing. Do you think battery life good for a full day of standby?

From Mick: @YangiTheCat, I have not let the radio run all day. I’ll try one Saturday, so check back after weekend.

@@Portie2216 Haha that's dedication, no need to I saw other review already that said its pretty good!

From Mick: @YangiTheCat, the radio was fully charged by 8:00 am and was still at two power bars at 8:00 pm. I did key it up several times to test charge. If you are going to talk a lot, maybe you want to bring a small power bank with you, as the radio charges via USB-C.

From Mick: @Tobys-Dad, I’ve heard that several times so looked into spurious emission and found top end radios have them also but generally at much lower strength levels. I may dig into them a little more. Thanks for watching.

From Mick: @benjaminleslie3155, Stihls run great, I’m still using the original spark plug and original air filter. I hope I did not just jinks myself after 18 years.

From Mick: @crystalvelasquez2446, I’m glad you liked the video and getting into radios. There are lots of options, but most are pretty similar. The good thing about these radios is that they are cheap and you can get both. Learn the repeaters in your area and get a good antenna with adapter to use with the handheld. 73’s

If you are still looking at the 5-vr I will suggest the better ar-5rm it's the better uv-5r, fully unlocked and 10 watts

@billyjenkins3015 it’s holding up really well!!! I check every once in a while to make sure all is good - oil change coming up and I’ll check again! Thanks for watching!!! 👍🏻

From Mick: @tacticalbilly7602, I have not tried them…….yet. I’m always up for testing new radios.

From Mick: @bhoward9378, I have thank another viewer for giving me the heads up. Thanks for watching and glad to help.

From Mick: @elmostro82, it was a good time making this video. Always good working with the kids.

From Mick: @scottlittfin5832, thanks for watching and nice comments. You can open the hood, but watch which bracket you use and then NMO gets close to the wiper, but all works on my install. Plenty of leg room for passengers, seat also moves front and back.

@@Portie2216 Perfect, thanks!!

We have more coming - a lot of activity this time of year!

From Mick: @robertwoods8419, thanks for the heads up, I have not tested these stock antennas. I will have to, 73’s.

No animals were harmed during the filming of this Short...well, there are burgers on the grill....but no chickens!!! :)

From Mick: @skepticalhippo6376, I agree. This is the same for other radios too, if you watch some of my other videos, you can see me constantly tapping the radio to light up the screen. I need to see if there is a setting for constant on, that you can switch back if battery conservation is needed.

From Mick: @lancebangwell, you are correct sir, fun toy to play with.

From Mick: @MegaChuckD, sorry to hear that. Maybe try using an adapter to connect a remote antenna a good distance away. Also research signal level of such emissions for different radios. Hope you can stay in the game. 73’s

@MITSCG - good deal and thanks for watching! Pretty easy job on the Macan - Good Luck!!!

From Mick: @richardrodriguez5480, sometimes if / when the oil pan nut washer sticks to the pan I will use either a plastic tool or wood to tap on the edge to remove without scratching or damaging the pan. I have had to use a flathead screw driver on some old cars. Be careful to not damage the pan and especially any threads

@nathandan7079 - Thank you for your comment and you are correct, Porsche recommends ZF Lifeguard 5 for OEM replacement. That said I had a very hard time finding this available without going to a dealership or ordering from Europe. I did some extensive research on what people had used and what ATF makes and fluids would be acceptable. I came to the conclusion that there are three acceptable brands that could be used: ZF Lifeguard 5, Pentosin ATF 1, and Esso (now Mobile 1) ATF LT 71141. This is MY research and what I was comfortable with putting in my Porsche. I always try to go with Porsche OEM recommendations for sure, in this case I chose Pentosin ATF 1. I would suggest that everyone should do their own research and use what they feel is acceptable - I am by no means a Porsche mechanic or expert! Thanks again for commenting so others can make their decisions with as much info as possible!

@nathandan7079 - you are correct again! This is referenced at around 14:40 time stamp in video!

From Mick: @VEGXTC, I typically use the CHIRP software to program all my radios the same. Once I have the CSV file set up for radio with the smallest number of memory channels I use that same for all (sometimes add GMRS or other special features depending on the radio). I’m also going to do some research on radio to radio transfer. Thanks for watching, good luck, 73’s

From Mick: @BRADH-xw8sw, thanks for watching. I’ll have to go back and review this radio, I’ve been playing with several others and can’t remember what they all do anymore. I’ll get back when I’m done traveling or get a chance to look at specs online.

@rogereckstrom5094 - thank you!!! We love doing these videos so it nice to hear people are enjoying them!!! My 996 has around 59,000 - I've put about 2,000 of those myself, hope to do ALOT more!!!!

@@Portie2216 I’m looking at a 2000 996 and it has the original IMS bearing and was wondering about your mileage, the car has 41k original miles and has the original IMS in it so I wanted to see what yours has. Thanks for the reply and keep up the good videos!

@rogereckstrom5094 - I have not done the IMS on this one either. From what I’ve read in my research the 99 & 00 both have the dual row bearing that does have a lower percentage of incidence. When I changed the oil both times there was no metal traces at all - checked the filter element as well - all good! Change oil every 6 months and make sure it’s full and 🤞🏻

@@Portie2216 I will do that for sure, thanks again!

From Mick: @brandonguerrero95, you are correct, I did not state that correctly, just wondering if the cheap adapter from the radio to the meter caused some problems. Thanks for watching, 73’s. I think I’m getting a better adapter.

@MichelGheorghe - thanks! It wasn't too long, I'd estimate an hour or two max! Good to have done - I have another video coming that will show how to make a grill for the vents on a Boxster 986. Same can be done for the 996! Check back in about a week and it'll be up!

From Mick: @TateStump, I used a fogging oil to coat the carb and pistons for storage over the winter. Run the carb bowls out of gas, then spray fogging oil in carbs, run a while, then when all dead, turn over engine while spraying to suck oil spray through carbs into pistons!

@antoinebigard4908 with the magsafe charger it stays put, also the shelf is on a slight angle that helps keep it in place. I'm really digging the setup and strongly considering for the Boxster I'm currently working on. I have no complaints after a few months of use - great product!!!

From Mick: @ytstephanehenry, I’ll research the difference and get back, probably frequency range or power.

From Mick: @curtisyoncis7880, I’ll have to look into that, they could be several reasons why such as functions, power, or quality. Thanks for watching and commenting

Had one similar to this one he's showing. After 1 day, display turned upside down and everything was in Chinese. They sent me a free return sticker and mailed that china junk back.

From Mick: @suidafrikaanseboer3320 - thanks for watching and interesting comment. Can you let me know why you use the two different frequency ranges, is each farm different or both frequencies used on the same farm? I’ll have to do some digging into the lower range. Thanks again for the comment

@jordynrobles3881 - we did not have to bleed the distribution block specifically, I believe the whole system bleed when we did it from the four corners. Did it twice to make sure - been driving awhile with no issues so we consider it good to go!
