Was watching another of your old videos and realized you hadn't posted in a while. Hope all is well with you! Have learned so much off your videos over the years, thanks for sharing your interests and knowledge with the rest of us!
I noticed that this youtube channel was not working a few days ago. This is the last video that Paul posted, and it shows today as being one month old. Has anyone heard from him? I hope that he is well.
I was sent one for review/ Out of the dozen HTs in my collection ranging from Baofeng to Yaesu, the Rt730 has become my daily carry. Built like a tank and I love it.
I saw a comment suggesting he may have passed away. I really hope this isn't true , but it's becoming the most plausible explanation for the sudden and uncharacteristic vanishing act on both UA-cam and Patreon. I know he had some chronic health issues. Hopefully Paul or his family will give us an update at some point. Praying for his health meanwhile. ..
@GannDolph i hate to say it, but i just dont think he would drop the channel without saying goodbye or some sort of explanation. He is not that kinda guy.
@@GannDolph Updates on Paul's doing or not may come to this channel depending on what Paul had set up regarding "Account Inactive Manager" and "Account Deletion", so this channel may just disappear, after 3,6,9,12 months of inactivity, an "Account Inactive Manager" can take over and do something to keep it alive, if Paul had set it up like that, we do not know what Paul had done.
Hi Paul, hope you are well, i tried to send some bits from your wish list on Amazon but it said it cant ship items from UK, despite me loging into US Amazon ??
Suggestions, all radtel radio manuals should be in Portuguese, their menus should also have the language in Portuguese, the Odmaster application should have the option in Portuguese too...
I like mine, but it's sensitivity is not as good as my RT630 (on 2 m band). Maybe I got a not-so-good-one. And the RX of Airband is a NO GO. Other than that, I appreciate the rest : power out 10W on 2m, 6W on 1.25m and 7-8W on 70cm, nice audio in and out (little quiet, but OK) and the Motorola-like tone at the beginning of each transmission (I know I am transmitting). Some functions could be added via software, since as is, it's a very basic package.
Sorry to say a little after 4 weeks my 2nd PTT button failed to transmit. They did reimburse me no questions asked. Just curious if any one else had this problem.
Honest opinion is important. Of course, FCC ID is most important 😎. Information on repair is important and unfortunately, these Chinese companies hide behind U.S. Trade Secret laws so unless this company is different, once these radios fail, they are pretty much destined as parts donors or landfill fillers. 😮 I do like the size, not to small and not too big. Hopefully the battery is sufficiently large to leave on standby for a few hours? Remember, the RF tap signal is -50dBm down so add 50dBm to your analyzer reading. ☮️ brother.

I'm glad this channel is back. For some reason, I guess the channel disappeared. Hope Paul is OK! I wish someone would give an update. 🤔
Glad the channel is back. It was deleted for several weeks, and a lot of people were wondering what happened.
Hey Man hope your doing well .
Really miss you classic circuit videos!!!

He's still logging HAM Radio contacts on QRZ on 10/18/24, so he's still alive. Probably just taking a break from the BS that is UA-cam.

Missing your content. I hope you are well.
Has anyone heard from Paul?
I like that as a first VHF/UHF radio, I may get one. After watching this I'm going to buy one since it's FCC approved.
Paul, I hope that things are okay with you and yours.
Looks like a pretty nice budget radio. I wonder if it comes close to it's rated power?
So nice to see you again. How are you doing?
You okay Paul? I hope you are.
Haven't heard anything from Paul in a long time.. anyone know whats up? Hope he is ok.

what happened?
Really like the radio thanks for doing a video of it. We're am at it's about over 35 Dollars
Did u say this does cross band repeat?
Does the radio come programmed with the TPT already? Or is that a setting?
Where is Paul?

Nice review
Throughout the video I couldn't help but notice your voice is very similar to Chris Griffin from Family Guy
Turn the radio on
Thank you for your service, Paul. 11-11-2024

These are UA-cam mishaps. Why do some UA-camrs no longer give any news?

Hi is this radio compatible with MOTOTRBO?
