Does UA-cam (Susan) pay asshats to browse channels and randomly thumb down content? LOL ... yeah, I'm sure that bitch does. Fuck her.

Great demo.... nice little dual bander... 73's KN6CWT

What powder thru die were you using?

Thank you for the video

In other words meaningless

The two comments below are childish immature and unexplainable

Hello,got one yesterday work's fine apart from a little noise from the RF knob.

thats great

This is the frequency of the railroad in Southern Brazil

ive got one if these, mine works on 446 aswell.

Nice Demo Greg! This is a nice radio! I have 3 of them. One in shack, one in car and one in rv. All were bought used for just under 200.00. The backlight bulbs went bad on one of the units! ab3bo.com/icom-ic-207h-repair/

Great video Greg. had one for 11 years now and still going strong.

Good yarn! Amazing who ya stumble across, and how many hams are also computer geeks.

Sweet looking rig and congratulations with the success in getting QSO's in an apartment situation.

Good demo of the Icom 207H dude......All the best from UK...

I've had one of these since I got licensed back in 1998. Great radio, I wish Icom still made something similar. I don't need dual band receive like most of the new rigs. I just got a new 2730a, but love my old 207, it's a keeper!

Mikey, I do not, I sold it some time back. I am currently without a HF radio .. :( I liked this radio for the money. Solid value. I like the newer offerings from Yaesu better though. FTdx-3000/1200 for example. I also like the newly re-vamped Kenwood TS-590SG.

do you still have this radio, and if so do you still like it.

Had a couple inquiries on this video about my antenna setup I used in this apartment. I apologize for not answering sooner. I moved my family to Colorado in September of 2011, the same year I posted this video. Then things got busy, crazy, a few jobs went and came, etc. LOL. Anyway... I have sold this rig, but it wasn't because I didn't like it. It's a great value for the money. Now, my antenna setup ... In the video I mentioned a 35 foot wire and a 4:1 UnUn ... Google random wire antennas, better yet, check out this link: www.hamuniverse.com/randomwireantennalengths.html I used a 35' piece of stranded wire, 16 gauge. I tied a 6 ounce fishing weight to the end and literally threw it up into a tree off my second floor balcony. The other end of this wire was connected to the antenna side of the 4:1 UnUn This is the UnUn I used: www.balundesigns.com/model-4130-qrp-4-1-unun-1-5-54-mhz-300-watts/ The ground side of the 4:1 UnUn is tricky. It needs to be connected to a good earth ground. In my research I found that sliding glass balcony doors with metal frames are 'usually' a good ground. In my case the balcony had a metal railing. I measured the resistance between this railing and my metal sliding glass door frame and discovered there was zero resistance between them. So I sanded off the paint of a very small area of the railing, drilled a small hole and attached a wire to the railing with a metal screw, the other end of this wire attached to the GROUND side of the 4:1 UnUn. Hope this helps. I would not call this optimum, but it did allow me numerous QSO's on HF and I enjoyed the challenge that this QTH brought me. Learning to operate in a challenging environment makes operating in a good environment easier and more enjoyable. 73! K0GMJ

The one that is 'working'. ;) I mostly use 20M, 40M and 10M. I'm a big fan of 17 and 12 though as I've had some good times on those as well.

Nice video. What is your favorite band to operate? Best 73, Charles, KD4TVB,

Audio Technica 120E I like it fine. Really good for what I paid for it. Must admit I am looking to upgrade this year. Still researching but am leaning towards a Rega RP6.

Yes Gregory i know what you mean. When I get mine back I will try to let you know what it was.. Looking now at a power transistor being shorted. I have no voltage at the #2 mic pin and no TX voltage at the back underside of the rig at the test points.

The TX is out on mine too, sadly. Has been for many months now as I haven't taken the time to repair it myself or have it done. Considered unloading it as a 'tech special' several times, but I don't really want to do that.

I have this rig also. Unfortunatly the TX went out of it. Having it repaired now. Also have a sweet Knwd TS-830s. Now theres a radio !!!

Hi, I was hoping you could tell me a little more about how you set up your antenna in the apartment? I am in a ranch style condo that does not allow any antennas outdoors and am looking to get a reasonable antenna going in here. Thanks. Rob

do most of them have 10 meter lsb

wow well this is an awesome radio, i absolutely love how it looks, and how its set up, i currently don't have an hf rig, but hopefully soon i will have one.. would love to own a 950 ,, have fun,, Mikey G 73s ai1i

In this vid I'm using the built in tuner. I do own an LDG YT-450 which is designed to work with the FT-950/FT-450 radios. In my new QTH I have a Hustler 4BTV which only requires moderate tuning on 40M. 20, 15 and 10 are all 1.5:1 or lower. Thanks for watching!

I dont see a tuner, Do you have one hooked up there, or is it build into the radio.73s ai1i

wow wow very nice radio

I have both FT-1000 and FT-950. When I did A/B test between them, the receiver on FT-950 is not bad. The noise level is not any different and the DNR does some job, but not a lot. The only issue with FT-950 is the AGC. It seems a little slow with 'SLOW' setting. Set it to 'MED' improves a little bit but it also affect the sound quality negatively.

On the FM bands (2M/70CM) the 'norm' for casual conversing is to not use phonetics. I agree with you in principal though. During NET check ins it is usually required. On the HF bands the use of phonetics is more prevalent. It is a must simply to be understood a lot of the time.

Got it. Thanks!

I am planning on getting my ham license. I have listened to some hams on my scanner. One thing that REALLY bugs me is when people don't use the NATO alphabet when giving out their call sign. It makes it harder to understand people's call sign. Using the NATO alphabet makes it much easier to understand. I have the NATO alphabet memorized, it's not that difficult. Using the NATO alphabet for your call sign should be a requirement.

They don't provide much isolation at all, but that turntable had no feet when I got it, common on these old Pioneers, so they function GREAT as feet. :)

my pleasure

Agree on the stereo separation. Glad it came through. Thanks for watching!

sounds great, even from uy

It is a great little radio! I am currently using a Yaesu FT-8800. The dual receive is nice!

How much does a radio like that cost? It looks like it has all the bells and whistles.

Good Vid! Thanks for showing how it worked.Would of like to see some 440 tx but it was still good..KD0QVO Patrick Heaverlo

I also have an IC-207h. Got it from my old boss. Brand new in box - $125!!! Right now, it's in the car but I plan on moving it to the shack. I also use a Diamnond X-50; in the attic. Not quite as flexiable as my old Yaesu FT-8000 (true dual receive); but too good of a bargin to pass up. BTW - no intermod issue with my unit.

did you have to get the filters for it yet.....how is 160 meters doing for you and all the others.

can you make a video showing your antenna setup? i am also in an apartment and am looking for a solution. thanks, and great videos.

Nice piece of equipment!!!...FT950...Keep posting those QSO's bro...I plan to go portable soon...looking at some portable option right now...need to get my Extra license first...Again nice radio man...

Well done, and helpful! I'm trying to decide between a Yaesu and Kenwood 590. 73 W7SWB

@TJgas No. Just HF and 50. 73!

@Moonchild7474 Thanks for the nice comments. Didn't feel like I knew what I was doing at first...but most hams are very nice and very willing to help. You can hear in this video the guy telling me my location 'code'. I was saying San Jose instead of Santa Clara Valley. It's hard to hold a pencil with a Guinness in your hand! HiHi! Enjoy your ticket! It's a lot of fun! 73!
