Wow, that opening was clearly saying we are stupid. And no, I didn’t watch past that.

😊 I don't usually comment on videos but I must state how useful & well-thoughtout this one was❗ Thank you❗😁

Dude you need to get back from outer space its not safe up there

GREAT JOB on this helpful video. Thank you from N4TUX Boyd Travis Kingsport TN.

I’m learning cw and this is helpful. TU

Although I suspect I'd like the 878 more, I chose the GD-88 based solely on price. And I'm not disappointed. It works great for me, despite its quirks (like the volume control lag).

Thanks so much! Im going for my HAM radio right now and this has been a big help. I will use the links and info given. Thanks again!

Been a ham for 38 years but let my code slip so bad I forgot 1/3 of the letters … back up to about 10WPM now and this is the perfect rig for me… no fuss set up and I can do the right from my car… Just became a subscriber… thanks and keep the videos coming!

Does this radio receive UHF AM aircraft band? I know it receives VHF and some radios will receive the UHF aircraft band but not AM.

Very nice job. Many thanks for the obvious time and care put into production!

Great video. Thanks a lot.

do you accept Online exam applicant from foreign countries ? providing they have FCC FRN number and US mailing address ? AG6JU

Thank you sir for your video. I like this approach… very helpful.

Whats the best method for me to be able to pass my technician class? I've studied at least a year, have used ham study and another site, studied the book front to back, and still have failed multiple times. Its difficult for me, due to my slow learning disability, its hard for me to take information and keep it. There's gotta be some kind of way for me to pass this.

Amazing video!!!!! You have my attention, undivided.

Awesome, thanks. I'm really trying to learn CW and I'm watching lots of CW activation videos for inspiration and to relax from my practice and hope to absorb by osmosis I guess. The algorithm brought me to this video tonight. I'm so impressed at how you still pull enough info out with the QSB and pileups to get through the QSO. I know the characters pretty well but I'm definitely not hearing what you're hearing there. I'm sure it takes more time on your end but putting the text up of what we're hearing really helps.

Nice. I’ve been using the translator part to screen prospective callsigns. I didn’t know you could use it for that.

what about if you don't have a computer but have a phone that has zoom. i want to test but don't have an extra 6 or so hundred dollars sitting around for a new computer.. I've been studying but didn't see any way to take it without buying a laptop because i don't think we have anywhere from my small town to go to to test.

Great presentation and video. This looks like a great tool. I look forward to using it.

This is great, Bob! Can't wait for the next video! W1RCY

Outstanding! I am always looking for CW Tools, and this helps plenty! DE NN2X / Tom Thanks for putting it up!

Interesting approach. Makes sense to use 30 for copying. What about for those of us that want to use a straight key? Is it possible to send well-formed characters at 30 (as a novice)?

How does it perform on 10 meters?

Bob just what I have been waiting for. You are the man!

30 wpm character speed? I'm not sure many people would be able to recognise or differentiate different characters at that speed. As for starting at slower speeds - you mentioned 15wpm - thats how/where most military and civilian commercial operators started at. The fact that some people might 'count', the characters doesn't matter. Don't use a written 'look up table', and you'll be fine. davidwperry.blogspot.com/2022/04/learning-morse-in-royal-navy.html

This video is exactly what I needed! I signed up and passed my technician exam today. The volunteer examiners we're very friendly and made the whole experience great! I highly recommend the online testing process.

Very well done!

Excellent video. I'm going back to review others from you about the KH1. Thanks

My 1st H3 went out in flames while charging, replacement radio doesn't transmit at all. TID refusing to send the replacement, advising me to put the battery of replacement radio to 1st radio (one that burned out in flames LOL). Tragi-Comedy...

Were you in Washington or Georgia?

This video is a model for succinctness, candor, informativeness (is that a word?). No 3 minute musical extravaganza introduction, no droning on and on and on, no BS. I wish other Ham KZbinrs would watch this and take note. Thank you House of Ham!

Could you take the exam through zoom on a tablet/iPad?

I got the Anytone878II-Plus, and I'm not disappointed, it's a great radio with a lot of options

Is the technician class license is the same as the foundation license in London?

ham radio prep made it easy i passed my tech and general in one go

@houseofham I’m a lefty. Can the logging tray be moved to the other side? Great video.

Suggestion for a video: deep dive into some features like using the mini pan function while operating

It's always a good video when Glenn is on! I just submitted an application for Becky and I CWI in the fall! It's going to be a challenge to cram it into the busy schedule, but CW is important to both of us and CWI sounds amazing! Also, I just noticed that we weren't subscribed yet and fixed that also!

Good job, you two!

If you travel like I do, the bluetooth programming via the ODmaster app is super easy for programming in local repeaters. Very easy to do with my Android phone. Used to do it via Chirp and laptop while on the go...not necessary and much easier this way. Cool review...I bought two of these and really like them so far.

Does the software allow the radio to operate on MARS and CAP frequencies? This has been a sore point with other SDR based software.

Absolutely insane amount of money for radio where you have to provide the display and microphone.

I have the SunSDR2 DX and have been using it as my main HF transceiver since 2-3 years. If any viewer decides to get one, make sure you get the latest hardware generation. I believe they are at gen5 now. The one I have is gen3 and it has some hardware quirks like loss of signal, and audio issues with a directly connected headset. Usually after a longer period of operation. These effects go away by simply clicking the ON/OFF button on the SDR software (no need to reboot hardware). The DX is not full break-in CW. Its keying is very snappy though, which I personally like. The older generation DX's are rated at 80 Watt, not 100 Watt. The DX is, in my view, the most enjoyable transceiver I have owned so far for QRP operation at home. Using a power calibration of 22.5 Watt, the output will go as low as 60mW on my copy. It is also very easy to safely drive an amplifier at these lower outputs. I also own the Yaesu FTdx10, and its lowest output is 5 Watt. For me this is too high to control power on FT8 at lower levels (say 100-200 Watt output). The amplifier I have will already flirt with 300-400 Watt at 5 Watt input. The small form factor is also its nemesis. I share the view of others I have heard on the bands that temperature control can be an issue on this model. The fan is outstanding, but the less heat trapped in its confinement, the better. Part of the reason I decided to lower its power calibration and let an amplifier do all the heavy lifting. The next SDR I may purchase, if it supports TCI, is likely going to be a Flex because of its bigger size. I get unsolicited praise on the audio from the SunSDR2 DX. TCI is fantastic to interface with digital mode software, no more hassle with virtual audio cables (I don't use a computer mic or headset). ExpertSDR v3 is nice and easy to use software. The waterfall is just so pleasant to see what's going on. The DX gets far more mileage than the FTdx10 in my radio room. It hears really well on FT8 and CW. There is an active forum on the Expert Electronics web site for help. Support is responsive and knowledgeable. A final word of warning; if you buy extra pig tails for the RF ports, make sure that you get connectors with the thinner pointed center pins. There are also connectors with thicker, rounded pins on the market. Do NOT use these as they have the potential to damage the RF port which will need replacement. Check the ones that come with your SunSDR2 DX before use. The connector should mate with the RF port without any physical effort.

Networking stuff is q show stopper for me.

I run the Hermes Lite II been alright as a QRP rig. I operate CW....but I'm not a "gun" operator still on m L plates :). Great video. Will that run on Thetis software too? I've chatted to a ham in OZ, who has SDR experience and he swore by this little SDR rig, saying is was bang for buck..

Mine is on 24/7 and I operate on HF/10/8/6/5/4/2M on this radio. I have the new 40Mhz low VHF bands, best radio to date, and I have owned the overrated ftdx101.

Thanks for the video, I HAVE A Hermes Lite II and always been interested in this radio.

It's a fun little oddball radio that has some cool features. I always fall in love with little oddball radios.

Bob while in Dayton I picked this key up as well as the inductive one offered by K6ARK. I like both better than the original elecraft key. Doing a great job on these instructional videos for the KH1. Can't wait to see the series you do on the kx2. Thanks

Great ham radio channel and I may just nibble at the bait here. Have fun in FD24 73. KT1R
