Just having the ability to call CQ through the memories is a big plus for saving your voice and fist.
I bought a kit version from AliExpress. The kit came with one bad resistor, which required me to do some troubleshooting and replace the corrupted resistor with a good one. It works now. Besides, the resistors they ship have muted/faded color bands that are hard to read even in bright white light on my bench.
Interesting about the fading. Thanks for the feedback!
Great video! I just ordered one! It would have cost more money if I ordered parts and made my own
I agree. It's inexpensive and parting it out, sourcing individual resistors, etc would be cumbersome. The price is definitely right.
I saw your video on March 1st! I ordered one the same day on AliExpress and I got it today March 7 . Looks nice but I have no tried it yet. I will update.
I hope you enjoy it! That was fast shipping.
That's good it works! I love my FH2, and don't regret buying it. But it is way to expensive for what it is.
Great video, 73!
I built my own. Only used the 5 buttons for memories. It works well. You have a nice video. Thanx. Jim K1AZ
Thanks for watching. I built a button into my Yaesu (there are better ways to do it) so my dog could call CQ - ua-cam.com/video/DIL6NcjH7mQ/v-deo.html. . in the future, I'll get an "easy button" from staples for him.
I just got the Ftdx10 and was looking for a cheaper remote this is cool 😎
I am amazed how expensive the FH-2 is in the US, works out around $40 in the UK. That looks like a good unit in its own right, I don't think my own soldering would look any better than some of the joints on that!
Yes, in DL it's abt 35 EUR.
You don’t need to keep the microphone keyed whilst recording. Just key it once then start talking, it keeps the mic keyed until you hit the ‘MEM’ button again.
Pro tip! Thanks!
Thanks.. great review
Looks like a good alternative. Reminds me of the old Connect4 game lol.
If I can figure out what I'm doing, I have a cool alternative
Great device- but a tuner also uses that same port on the back of the 891, so you would have to give the option of using your tuner.
No... get a Y-Cable. The tuner uses the 'Ring' of the stereo jack and the FH2 uses 'Tip".
That's a good thing. Reasonant or bust.
Cool, I made my own for my IC 7300 and I love it…👍
You implemented the 4 switches + resistors between mic connector pins 3 & 6 per page 18-3 in the 7300 manual?
@@Randrew yes, and made a jack connector for the mic, now I can use my headset. I works great.
I've the Yaesu FH-2, it works
Cool.
I really want to get one so that I can tear it apart and compare it to a fake/replica fh2 I have
So the I’m assuming clones on eBay from china for 50 are they any good?
I'm assuming that. I'll know soon enough and hopefully be able to compare to a real one
Great video.
thank you
Would the CW memory programming work by keying in the message with your key?
Nice they make one for an MH 27 Mike replacement can't find one anywhere for my ft 2200
I actually recently saw that as well and thought it was pretty neat
the cable, what do I need? A 3.5mm TRS on both ends? Or a TRRS? I couldn't tell from the video.
Good question. I just sent this away, recently. But off hand, I believe it's the same as this one - ae01.alicdn.com/kf/S8f53ccebe60241fdbaa02ed0f33377976/Yaesu-FH-2-FTDX-9000-FTDX-5000-950-ft-450-ft.jpg_.webp (Hopefully that linked correctly.) Cheers!
If I use this, I can't use my tuner because it uses the same plug, correct?
Hey thanks. That's a good question I didn't consider, as I don't typically use a tuner, but your statement would appear to be correct. Bummer
Did this one works on ft-450?!
Sold an iMATE that provided memory access for Icoms and now I regret it.
There are only buttons 1-5, even in the original FH-2.
You're right, thanks
Try adding a right-curly brace "}" at the end of your manually entered CW text message. I believe it signals the end of the message (see advanced manual p18, item #8). Of course, the memories can be loaded and played back via CAT control too :) de W8RD
Thank you!
Hi Sean,
Tried to order it and during checkout goes to Spanish language using Paypal, then tells me my account has been disabled. WJ3U
That's really odd
I'll double check the link I used
Just checked and it worked for me. If you need, I can order it for ya
@@HAMRADIODUDE Hi Sean, Link work, but something appears to be wrong during checkout. I will try again later. WJ3U
