Please send me your callsign or find me on QRZ and mail me and I shall send you the source code.

The connector board is homebrew but the switch module is from AliExpress “SONOFF 4ch relay board” without RF module. Look me up on QRZ - G5STO

@@MechaPlays hi, yes the BC139 desktop charger is required for fast charging but Icom also have a rather weird PSU for direct charging which is 11vdc….. yes that’s correct 11vdc. The output has no special switching and is a simple wall wart power supply. If you have QRZ then look up my callsign G5STO and email me for more information. Please don’t go and buy the BC-110D until I’ve checked the specs. The BC139 needs a normal 12vdc PSU but as mentioned the IC-E90 also works direct with a special 11vdc PSU. It’s around 14vdc until under load which is expected. Email me through QRZ please before you buy anything, regards de Spence G5STO

@@CodfishCatfish Appreciate the response, and don't worry we won't be buying anything until he knows for sure what he needs to get haha. I shall pass the information on, and let my old man take it from there (: Thanks again!

Fine business. As mentioned in the video that you can use any 12vdc PSU for the BC139 so long as you have the larger 2.5mm 5.5mm type DC jack I think it is. It’s not the smaller 2.1mm 5.5mm jack. The official Icom charger will plug directly into the side of the radio and no need to faff about with battery swaps like the video as it simply charges the battery while attached to the radio.

Yes it’s a Plessey PV1415- 30mhz to 88mhz VHF as I suspected and probably designed for the Clansman PRC351/352 or possibly the Clansman VRC353. Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@CodfishCatfish Oh, you were implying it was a military VERSION of the SCG 303, they don't even cover the same frequencies.

@@craigtull2361yeah sorry about that. I was merely pointing out that this was like a “military version of” but I’m sure there is a HF version but not made by SGC. Plessey Avionics made a lot of military equipment and it will be considerably more robust. To be honest if you could separate the whip and terminate it then I cannot see why it wouldn’t tune up on HF as its centre fed. The base “if I remember right” has part of the tuning components in it. I might make another video on this and see if the whip tunes without the base?

The solution is the fan was faulty and Creality replaced it under warranty. The did complain at first that it was not something that’s normally covered by warranty but eventually sent a replacement. However these fans are very cheap and can be bought just about anywhere. I hope you solve your issue

@@CodfishCatfish oky..will check.. thank u 😊

Hi Bob, yes two more. Email me via my email on QRZ

@@CodfishCatfish great but I can't seem to find out what your call sign is... 73 de WB9RHW

Hi, yes there are a number of things you can do but you really need to dedicate yourself to a total overhaul as both Kenpro KR5400 and KR5600 (same as Yaesu G5400) use individual ball bearings as supports for both elevation in two cages and azimuth along the perimeter of the housing and it’s well worth changing them during a service. You may also wish to invest in two new capacitors for motor run and also two new potentiometers. The big problem is water ingress and it’s nearly impossible to keep it out as water runs via the bearings and into the housing and makes mush of the grease. This then makes noisy bearings and gears as you would think grease is waterproof!! It isn’t well not the grease Yaesu use. I personally replace the grease with a good grade marine grease. Generally the motor won’t really need an overhaul as they are incredibly well made. However the gears tend to suffer with noise when there is a lack of grease as the high speed gears tend to fling off the grease under rotation so it’s important to pack the right parts with grease to make sure the grease can only fling so far. Another annoying issue is the inner plastic gears getting worn shafts and they tend to amplifier the motor sound. Also be weary of the main gear on the final drive running dry of grease as it tends to amplifier the noisy gearbox along your antenna shaft for elevation. I replaced mine with GRBP rube and it made it a bit quieter that the aluminium. It also allowed me to put my beams mid-boom and not have the pole interfere with my signal. I will try to find a the disassembly guide I use and post it here. Good luck 73 de Spence M0STO

Perfect, thank you!

@@blueplanetphotostudio9616 glad to help

This videos over 10 years old. Some guy wanted to buy my 323 and was concerned the roof didn’t work. Also had the hard top. Showed him the video and he didn’t have the cash anyway...... messer

Sent to Creality for a warranty teplcement

Yes indeed and thanks for the nice words. I’m still working on the final design for the controller and daughter board and will put the design and Gerber files on my new website when I’m sure it’s got not problems. At the moment my new website is still being constructed but will release it soon. Http://www.positivelycharged.co.uk

Diogo Matos thanks. Will publish the PCB and perhaps even the Gerber files on RadioArtisan website soon. Hope it will inspire others to build. 73 and hope to catch you on the birds someday.

@@CodfishCatfish hope you do friend if you do it I may trye to build one for myself eheheh thx for your time friend have a nice day. 73 all good for you

Wimo X Quads for 2m and 70cm and SSB super Amp pre amplifiers.

Has this been a confirmed fix. I have a friend with a G450 with the exact same problem.

Hi Steve, unfortunately not as I mothballed it for the time being and started with other projects. However you have reminded me to have a go at finding the fault on the weekend. Will post a video here when done.

@@CodfishCatfish Thanks i am try to clean the contact i watched my rotator it seems to work fine just the controller acts wonky and i cant stop it in the area it acts up so i only can stop it oin the NE to NW positions. even when the needle is bouncing around the beam is turning smooth. and its a very light yagi and no binding

Cristian Radio hi Christian. Yes I can. It I am working on a new design at the moment. This video is about 4 years old and the new design is more compatible. I will email you all the details as soon as I have finished the new design. 73 de Spence M0STO

i am looking for to receive de details of construction and code because i wanth to build 2 az-el rotors one with servo or pot in this case and one with a magnetometer senzor .... thanks 73 from yo8sxt

Ok but I'm going to Rosmalen this weekend for the Dutch amateur radio festival, will send the final code on Monday. 73

TheHajac yes sure, I'm at work right now but will look up my notes when I get home. In the meantime check radioartisan K3NG website

Hi sir. I would like to get the code and schematic as well. Hopefully you can send it to me , this is my email [email protected] your generosity is much appreciated.

+Juan Martin I think its so you can see the action and be able to duck the other players punches. If you didn't have a see through body it would be hard to see how the opponent was going to attack. Very clever idea.

+CodfishCatfish gd point sir idk why I didn't think of that myself LOL

ramdor72 Thanks for the nice words. I have a foil pattern of the design I made (original still on Perf-board) if you make your own PBC's. Designed with a cheap PCB program but results are great. Let me know and I will convert it to PDF for printing.
