Hello,thanks for the video. Sincerely, the thunderpole audio is narrow and bass little distortion for fm displacement, the alan 42 is clear and treble, i understand.

When this mini UPS dies completely, does it auto power on again when the input is reconnected, or is it necessary to press the power button?

Mine works fine but the compressor hose has split I can’t find the tool to open it cheers

Hi what screw driver did you use to open it mines around 9 years old many ten not sure I can’t find out how to open it cheers

If the portable hasn't any problem (bad rf shielding) , the audio as no relation with the antenna😊😊.

Depends what kit you buy they do sell it with battery and car kit with the 2 antennas

Also do you know of any motorcycle ptt headsets that'll work with this as all I can find are Kenwood ones

This using the car kit is actually illegal if you go by the new laws new laws limit CB to 4w on handheld stations

Any speaker mics that are compatible? Have one of these, none of my 2pin mics work for it.

They may have changed the wattage, I just got one of these yesterday, claiming 4 watts both AM&FM.

Just bought a pair of TRC-222's that were advertised as working but they are not. Both radios do not turn on, Mine are in great physical condition and were $20.00 for the pair so really no reason for to complain. UPDATE: figured I would try batteries and they work. The 12 volt cigarrette lighter adapters must be the issue, probably just not the proper ones, polarity is correct but likely they just are not making contact.

I’m wearing my mask as I watch. I bought a bluetti 300 watt unit but my cpap draws 70 watts the adapter to run it on 12 Volts is 150 US dollars Nothings cheap buying gear for a Cpap Cheers

Good quality radios. Medium Power, but low drein battery. Good sound - big speaker.

The problem with Jackery and Resmed machines is that Resmed Airsense 10 and 11 operate on 24V DC and Jackery only outputs 12V DC. You need to step up the voltage. This can get problematic. I was very disappointed that Jackery batteries were limited to 12V. I had planned to purchase a Jackery 500. I purchased another brand that output both 12V and 24V. Irt was a better option.

I have the same fridge planing on doing the same thing. Do you think a 800watt inverter will do the same job ?

Hello, can we modify the power, go from 4 watts to 8 watts? Yes, do you know how to do this?

I bought one for My Baofeng UV-5R and when I key it up screen goes blank, I believe it's not getting enough current the voltage is there not the current

Hey Ive got a pair of trc-218s but one of them doesn't seem to work properly its just really quiet

Excellent pub in the back ground.

I need passwork software zt-m9

Many mills you can get out of

Nice video!! Cool radios. Listen, can you tell me what pouch are you using? Thanks!

Interesting video. I have recently aquired a British Telecom, what I believe is a 4800X as it has the LCD screen, but with a handset with a different key configuration to anything I can find online. Unfortunatley it is missing it's coiled cable, the pug is still there but the cable has been cut off, so I am hoping either to find a replacement or get someone to make one up for me so that I test whether the phone actually works or not.

When you said that the TX wasn't a real CB, what are you basing that comment on? You didn't include it in your shootout, so how do you know if it performs as good or not? You can put a long telescopic antenna on the TX aswell. I really didn't need a another cb but I bought the TX out of curiosity and was surprise how well it worked on the original antenna but obviously it works better on a longer antenna. If I'm being honest though, I love the car kit. It works as good as any multi standard CB in the car. I liked your video because you did include the Alan 42 in the trial, but it would have been better if you'd compared the TX and the Albrecht also. I've used the Midland, the Albrecht and the TX and ignoring the obvious advantage of having ssb the Albrech had better reports than the Midland but, back then a friend owned the albrecht and he don't have it now to compare it with the TX. To be honest, I'm not a thunderpole fan. In the past they have clone radios and sold them for a lot more money the T-8000 that they currently sell is a clone of a Delta 318LT that I had about 5 years ago for £40. In a shootout, the Delta did better than my Midland Alan 48 plus Multi. On TX according to reports, RX was the same signal strength but the Delta has a nicer sounding speaker.

thunderpole alive and well in s,wales .......spannerman 10-4...

i bought 6 President Randys . All of the antennas fell apart . I purchased aftermarket HYS antennas plus BNC to TNT adapters so we could continue to use the radios. Where can I buy these radios ? I want the European version because they still use USA frequencies. Im here in New York City

How much does this weigh ❓

How are you supposed to cool the radio down ❓

Is there a way to fit a regular mounting stud, so that you can hang it in a vehicle as you would a normal CB mic? Thanks.

Fantastic information! I learned a great deal fro your video, Thank you!

hello hope your well as i have not seen you on youtube for a bit now hope your well

Thunder pole tx is amazing little hand held

Can I use this on the new thunder pole tx. TWAYRDIO CB Aerial 27MHz CS Tactical BNC Antenna 65.5cm(25.8inch) for Cobra Midland Alan 42 Uniden Anytone Cb Handheld/Portable Radio police scanner

Do these work in houses without external antenna? I have a motorway which is around 5mins walk from me. Do you think this would work? I'm new to all this

Thanks guys great video. I note Lewis, and others have praised in particular the Rubber duck antenna on the TX, the question I found myself asking was - would putting the the TX’s rubber duck on the Midland make any difference to its performance? I.e. how much of a difference is it making?

Great video are these radio as good as a midland Alan 42 I do have the midland Alan 42 it's a pain having to Put in AA pencil battery's in will that be the same with the pin escort Hp 82 just asking

Great video and test of different radios and antennas. Really enjoyed watching this. I have just bought the Jopix 514 (same as Thunderpole TX/PNI Escort HP82) can't wait for it to arrive 👍

What if you connect car kit to power bank or use usb adapter and plug in wall, how much power you have then?

Whats the farthest you talk on 10 watts?

is it possible expand to 120 Ch?

Hi. Are car phone installation kits still available for sale? I have a Motorola International 1000.

I’m still using my Realistic PRO 26 scanner

Hey there, I made a video on the driver issue with Windows 11. In your device manager, do you have an error "PL2303TA DOES NOT SUPPORT WINDOWS 11 OR LATER"" ?

By the way: this is NOT the Retevis RA89! Cheers - Thomas.

I had the same problem with programming the Retavis RT3S I tried different USB leads but it failed to connect to my computer, I was plugging the programming lead into the USB socket on the front of the computer It was when I plugged it into a empty socket on the back of the computer I found I had no problem programming the radio. I think the problem was the header sockets on the front of the computer case plugging it in the back which is a direct socket on the motherboard seemed to cure the problem, hope this helps.

I cannot connect to the RA89 using the supplied programming cable OR Digirig. Have tried the Retevis software and Chirp. No luck. Cannot connect using the firmware updater either. COM port and Baud rate were both checked and double checked. Very frustrating!

Try another USB socket? Look in device manager under Ports. Is there an exclamation mark beside the entry for the cable? Maybe this radio in particular requires a driver?

Hope you sort it rog

You are doing great job 🎉from Darcie

Darcie and I think this was a really good video. Keep up the good work James
