I love it..!! "Next time we will be looking at ....Something else!!" True unscripted content!! Thanks!

Ive had three of theses fail from overheat in two years

As for the separate speaker outputs being independent, I am sure a 3.5mm 'y' cable would take care of having 1 external speaker.

Does anyone have any tips on cloning two radios (3.5mm trs /trs)? I followed instructions in the manual and nothing doing.

Thank you for this series. HCO is really great and a lot of it is self explanatory, however these video's have helped with some of the more difficult sections. I have shared this with the president of a couple local clubs who are just starting to use HCO same as us. Thanks again.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together even though you don't own the radio. Amateur radio is not an inexpensive hobby. I just placed an order for this radio and it was due in part to your review. Biggest selling point for me was the large detachable screen and full duplex. Thanks again!

Can this radio transmit on GMRS?

I have this plus the twin G29 (33cm/1.25m) version with the exact same form factor. Gets you 5 bands between the two and I really like these radios.

Hi, I can receive RX on 158400 MHz but can't transmit TX on this frequency, any idea what to check in settings? Thx

I wish they hadn't stopped making these radios...I love mine...

Does this radio cover GMRS 462.000 to 467.000?

Hello do you know how is the mode when iperate v86 with external PTT. I am transmiting, but cant hear on the microphone

As of 7/2/24. Less expensive at Ham Radio Outlet. Overnight free delivery.

How does I person lock out the mic ?

I have to ask, do you believe this great radio with multiple functions most don't still worth this price today? Thanks for the microphone fix! 73's from all of us in the Lone St🌟r State.

Thanks for the informational video. I'm getting back into the hobby after many years and have no clue where to start. This seems reasonable for my needs.

Very helpful discussion. Thank you!

how are you powering this in the shack?

Good information, but I think it would be a good idea to demonstrate some of what you are describing to make a better video.

2/3/24 still watching thanks!!!

I was just thinking of this very idea.

I am new to Ham and bought one of these ....I was disappointed to see that it is not a true dual band. If I had known that ahead of time, I would have gone with a different one. I wish I had seen your video earlier.

Considering an excellent condition used Ft-2 now costs 200-250 used, I would say it is one of the best values out there, especially considering the feature set and that you can use it as a PDN as well.

Bad taste, hey paid for a set of ARRL handbooks and six months later still not received them.

Politics, egos and lack of learning. Costs outweigh the benefits.

In Tasmania Australia it sure looks like they have died.

I got one to do Winlink FM. I need some help programming it to do that. Do you know where I can get help with this? 73 W4DES

I have several of these, and yes, AWESMOME radios! Question: The "older" TM-281a's (2020-2022) were EASY to "unlock," to be able to transmit above 144mhz. Was a SIMPLE matter to "lift the lid," remove one of the surface mount resistors, and close it back up again. Being a truck driver, I need access to the LADD channels, all of them above 144mhz I recently purchased 2 new radios and, lo and behold, a CHANGE UP to the main/motherboard! Interestingly, they are also now advertised as 136-174mhz - but in RECEIVE only. Any idea(s) on HOW to unlock those upper frequencies to be able to transmit? NO, not a licensed ham op, YES, our company IS licensed/registered and have our own dedicated frequency. THANKS for any help you may be able to provide!

Does the radio have independent power switches?

Amazon link needs update pls

It's a video ...use motion to show its processes.

ABSOLUTELY! Most boards and officers are stuck in neutral. They desperately need new blood on an ongoing basis.

I am running the stock mic on mine and consistently get good audio reports on this radio with just stock mic, high power and a Comet GP-9 dual band at about 30 ft. The radio is a little qruirky. Sometimes the main will shift sides, the scanning is slow compared to a Yaesu or Icom radio. However, I really like the color display and you can set up each side individually. You can be across the room and when it receives a signal and changes colors you will see it even if you don't hear it. You do have to keep the manual handy if not using it frequently because some of the functions are not intuitive like an Icom. But, I love the dual receive and it also has crossband repeat so I will take my handheld into the garage and still catch the nets while working out there. And it is built like a tank. And the colors are very vivid. Pics don't do it justice. I definitely would buy this radio again.

I don't bother with my local club anymore! Too many egos and petty political nonsense. Just not worth my time. A group of mostly older folks that like to talk, but not fallow through. I was very active at one time. But not now! I ran the newsletter for 5 years too!

I was present at Glen's presentation at the Huntsville Hamfest today 8/19/2023. Thank you, Glen for your excellent presentation and for your "anyone can do it" style of introduction to microcontrollers. My copy of your book is on it's way. I have some projects in mind. Thank you.

My Elmer just gave me this radio, the Japan made model. I am very excited to make this my base station rig for 2 and 70! thank you for such a great video.

Had one for over 13 years. MARS mod gives another band.

Choosing between yaesu ft 2980, which are you choosing?

Some of the information he says contradicts what he has posted on the screen. Personally, because of the contradictions, I do not trust his video at all. He also is incapable of running a simple spell check!

1:30 but why the hell did they put the PTT socket in the BASE and not the faceplate!?

How to reset th40

Great audio, several power settings and extremely durable. Another great radio from Icom. I love their handhelds. I have an older Icom 32 AT that I bought 32 years ago. Still works great even after the radio and myself crashed into river rocks during a fishing trip years ago. Icom knows how to make durable radio's and does so. Nice review !!!!!!! Well done!!!!!!

Great practical info, very helpful. Cheers! ;)

Not in my area, my local club is very active.
