When you have a mobile radio whose power lead terminates at a lighter plug what do you do for home use? Can you just cut off the lighter plug and connect the wires straight to a decent 240ac to 13.8vdc power supply's red and black connectors? I assume you can? Many thanks for any advice!
@HamTechRadioScannerDrones ok, so its not hard to see from an angle ,it is just filming from an angle that's hard? I'm just trying to ascertain if I bought one ,would it only be easy to read if I was directly looking at it straight on? Some displays are like that.
Very FTM-300ish looking. Seems like a good alternative for people who are just starting out in amateur radio, and dont want to invest a lot of money just in case this hobby isnt for them. How well is the manual written? I hope its durable, cant imagine how many hoops you have to jump through for warranty claims. Thanks for sharing. 73. KC3UEE
I'd like to see what is inside the radio on the circuit board
Nice that the mike connection is on the control head. And the speaker too, makes it so much easier to mount, only one cable needed.
Yes
Looks like a solid piece of kit that for the money.
Yes

Read manual for.safety instructions
Very Interesting!
Glad you think so!
Been playing with mine also… seems I can’t find the dual received also… love the radio so far for the money. Dual watch for sure
Agree
The fan seems not very quite....and is ON also without transmitting I see. Correct?
Yes but you can turn off
Does the radio support Alpha Tags ( to give the frequency a name ) & if so how many characters does it support ?

how fast is the scanner?
I will test .
That's not a PL-259 at 2:30, it's an SO-239.
Lol
Alias send think is ident name or id digits sent over air .
Thanks
Did you ever find out how to have dual band receive?
No
The two speaker could be dual voice coils in one speaker
It's not dual
Can barely see the display...frustrating , does this suggest the display is only visible looking straight on ? otherwise a nice review.
Very hard to film it ok not great .

No problem 73
Anthony, we pronounce NOAA as “Noah”. There’s probably an ark / weather joke in there somewhere.
Lol
White is better for VIDEO. RED NOT SO MUCH!!! 😁
Lol
Another "one-IC" radio. Boring ;)
I enjoyed tinkering
Great video, can't wait for your follow up video M0FXB!
do the mic buttons light up?
