Unfortunately very poor fm audio

Got mine yesterday, apart from the crap audio it works well, even on max mic gain its still low on am/fm just passible on ssb, need to sort this out as i quite like it, anyone know the.mic wiring for a power mic.

Great review but every time I look at this radio all I can think of is the "Two Ronnies" for some reason! 😂

Comparable in price to AM, FM, SSB on the market, such as Galaxy. Does it have CTCSSPL for 10 meter amateur repeaters? Stryker ones are higher in power and more expensive.😊

Looks nice. But my anytone 6666 pro (aka qt80) is def worth the $299. 15m..12m..11m..10m

Does anyone know how the mics are wired on these ? Are the the same as cybernet or Uniden for example or do they have there own unique wiring ? And how many pins ? Thinking about a power mic for it.

CAUTON! There are many problems with this latest radio. It has a long way to go.

Hi Its Nick, we met at the club tonight.

I love the price. 👍

Looks like a decent radio for the price, would like to see how it sounds.

Aqui no Brasil temos esse rádio. Marca Aquário, modelo RP 90, inclusive eu tenho um de meu uso. Gosto muito dele.

looks so cheap

The code doesnt work for that radio .

Maplins power meter now there is a blast from the past, it was best when it was only the one shop in London with that big thick catalogue that was full of fantastic info even had the television transmitter frequencies when it was analogue

Loads of bands & functions but that is one ugly radio ! Cheers Neil 👍👍

Ive had my titan radio for a while now. I had one from the first batch. But it had to go back as i couldn't turn the echo of . I've got a replacement one from the latest batch with all the updates etc. it's a nice little radio. Its not perfect but for the money it works well. The microphone is nice to hold and weighty . Ssb can sound hollow if the audio gain is to high i run mine about number 8 on ssb. As all the modes are adjustable in the menu . I have mine in the hf setting which is all adjustable..at turn on. The only thing i dont like is the clarifier . Especially if your on a zero . Cant seem to just adjust the rx only. . 73s. Nice video. WR456🇬🇧.

I would be interested to know which port was installed 🤔 whether the whole thing only works with software ❓

Thanks for the video Neil 🙂

It has SWR protection, but is the SWR displayed on the screen?

I have a CRT 7900V which seems like a cousin to this one. I'm super-happy with mine. On the 10/12m This one has CB & CW, which, now I'm getting into CW, is something I wish my CRT had. Anyways, for the price, (+/- €150), it seems a really good deal. P.S. I like your style of review

The casing looks just like the casing on the lt318/pni 9001!

Hohoho doesn’t work as a discount code 🤨 Looks like a decent set for the money. 👍

Side mount mic plugs are a no for me.

Great review, I like that it has cw capability. I look forward to your next videos and seeing it on the air. I think it would make a great portable radio. I would be keen to see how it would perform on cw.

@gtretroworld Fluke 10,11 and 12 models all have this trait maily due to over enthusiastic button pressing over time. They were good basic meters and the 12 model was top of that range which Fluke/Philips released from memory in the late 1990s as an "economy grade" meter. You can see the lid of the unit at 7:42 on the right hand side. This is the part you need to dismantle further. Take out the pink/black zebra strips for LCD and PCB. Remove black cover on underside of lid. Pry out the rubber button grid, on the back you will find a piece of transparent laminated plastic "sandwitch" on the back side of the buttons which has a maze type pattern of carbon tracks sealed inside it. The centre of the 4 square tracks is the contact pad which is sealed inside the 2 laminate sheets. Each of the 4 button tracks is grounded when you put pressure on the front button. The contact routes along the track inside the transparent laminate to a 6 contact "pick up" zone which is the small zebra strip near the LCD. You will see the pink/black zebra strip makes contact with main PCB. You may be able to clean the zebra strip with foam cleaner and leave to dry & replace . Find where the laminated contact sheet meets with the strip , lamination is single layer in that very small area so you may be able to repair with conductive paint or suchlike. It is a difficult job to repair if you consider separating the laminate sheets to repair a broken track close to buttons ..probably undoable ! ,Fluke no longer supply spares for these models which is frustrating as the fault could be totally cleared by replacing just the laminate sheet which probably cost a quid/dollar to manufacture. If you want a real mans Fluke, try a 25 or 27 model, built like a tank, from same era as 10,11 & 12 but in a parallel universe when it comes to quality/safety, a large meter ..hell yeah but absolutely superb instruments in every way. Cost was circa £450-£600 in 1990s , Build quality second to none and cheap nowerdays if you go MOD Military surplus route. 73s Mike.

34 quid short hold on before xmas get some cash and buy it cheers i like it .

My main gripe with any of the newer multinorms (including the ssb ones ) is that the uk 40 is normally desensitised more than the eu set.

Very nice radio for it's size especially the price that's bob on. One thing I don't really like about it is the mic port being on the side, but tbh I use older rigs that have a side mount, it looks similar to the Magnum and the Cobra EU radios.. It's got plenty of options that are helpful in the menu but altogether it's a really nice radio and steel at the price, I like the microphone too very snazzy. All in all a decent side bander that covers everything. Nice intuitive video thanks for uploading 73 Dx-444 Glen Robin Hood County Nottingham.

Looks similar to a magnum one with the twin display

I would imagine the green display on the outer box, is to compliment the Moonraker logo. A nice Innovantenna yagi, up half a wavelength would pair very well with this. With both being available at Moonraker also.😉

Pretty inexpensive too. I like the way the band switch position is lit up in the display.

I like the purple display But your howling priceless 😂

Bored to tears Mate 😜 ( NOT !! ) That looks like a useful bit of kit - and well presented ! Not only does it look the part, it performas as well ! Nice presentation to - Shame other reviewers don't do the same.

Looks like a real nice radio that one Neil

Nice 👍

Good DX

I had and still have a formac 40 am. It looks absolutely the same. By head I don't think it said 'new". so just Formac 40. I also own the box and also that looks identical. Back in about 1980 I bought it. It was mainly used by truck drivers and very illigal in my country (The netherlands). So part of the fun was that it was illigal :)

i actually disconnected my mouse and monitor from the radio since i could not access the function menu. what was yaesu thinking? they totally farked up on this. you can't access arguably one of the most important screens on the entire radio. makes me mad! great radio, but.... c'mon yaesu, ADD THE RIGHT CLICK TO ACCESS THE FUNCTION SCREEN!

Just don't do kick outs, and your rim was good. Awesome days!

Nice piece of kit that Neil

I went ahead and purchased the same monitor brand and model thanks to this video. Thank you Sir. I think Yaesu uses older technology for certain items such as the monitor output to keep costs low and also help us using cheaper hardware such as old fashioned monitors. I think they could have gone with VGA too, wouldn´t matter. HDMI has other functions that we would never need in this type of thing. 73 de W4BTK. Enjoy your tea!

The SNR on this radio Is so impressive, shame I just bought a second hand Tecsun PL-680 for portable SW. But as you know you cannot have too many sets!

Dear friends, I am radio amateur from Armenia, Yerevan! EK6NK. I have purchased Sirio SY-3 yagi antenna for 11/10 meters in Paris in the shop! We tuned it how it was written in instruction and it worked very well on the floor/ground by using test mast for only 2 meters height. By antenna analyser we got good conditions of antenna data like: 1,11 SWR, 52 ohm impedance, -25.3db returne loss(see attached picture). But after installation on metallic-steel roof we have very bad data, we thought it is height of antenna and we increase it from 2.10 meter from roof to 2.80 meter, but no good changes(see attched picture). Also we have second VHF/UHF antenna on the same mast with vertical polarisation higher from Sirio by 1,5 meters(see attached picture). When we rotating antenna from South to North it working better, but not so good that we prefer. What do you think? What is our mistake? What to do ? Thank you in advance for advices Best regards, 73

That’s what I do drive to a place walk a bit till I can see miles all around 70 cm and 2 mtr M7HIH

Great video bud and getting it up in the snow fair play to ya.

So, bottom line concerning changing bands, it can be done with the DX10 and a compatible mouse....no computer controlling CAT software is required. Correct? I'm old, clumsy, fat fingers and don't want to have to hit the 'band' button on the radio. Please confirm before I buy the DX10. Of course having an external monitor (and I've already noted to make sure it is pure DVI and not use a DVI to HDMI adapter) really yelps the old eyes.

Just saying thanks. Always enjoy your uploads. Thanks again :)

Good video Neil but did you notice you said to should slide the top section back in 1 - 1.5 mm when you meant 1 to 1.5 cm lol

Emial sent mape shout me when you have 5 mins. Regards paukb
