So according to your math you could use a 2.5k Pot to give you a variable from 0 - 60 dB.

Have you tried the Variable RF Tap that TRX Bench built and tested?

Helpful video as I gear up for RTTY Roundup. 73 de KC9GLR

Ressistances.. And Cap ? Plug directly on the signal.. Why not using some ferrite ? so you don't bring some New actors in your test set.. And you don't altereted the inpedance too.

Thanks Stu, still a useful video. Getting ready to operate GB2WWA in the WWA for January 2025.

Talk LESS man. Just get to the &@&@/:; point. Why do you have to tell us about the message app and all that nonsense? To the point - always. PLEASE.

Thks for your video you recommend this antenna??? Where I live is flats around I like to try to buy one I’m in Jersey Channel uk CKW-3021 😮 73

Hi Stuart. Thanks for sharing.Works great .Very interesting. Now i have some out of the box questions. I'm looking for a Sat setup qo-100 with a sdrpluto as rx/tx. Is that possible? 73s

I think the variations from the classic surge impedances is partly the result of rounding the frequencies. Ron W4BIN

Thanks

That tab is only usable on low frequency. Don't attempt to use it for higher frequency the way it is build.

Thanks for the hard work you put in. K6HHW

Do you have a schematic for the attenuator.

Loved ur attenuator do you have a schematic i can download to build one . Thanks for your great youtube channel and all you do for ham radio . 73s ki6pxvz rod.

I wish we could get away from UHF connector. The SO239 should be N type. I replace it on my radios if I can. Wish they'd just stop it.

Thanks Stuart, that was a great insight into the Yaesu set up. my FTDX3000 now behaving well. 73 Scotty GI0BEY

Thanks for the video! Would be interested in the SWR readings on 26/27mhz if you have them handy.

I was just given a TS450S Kenwood and I would like to run a panadapter to have a display like this. I know it’s possible, I just have no clue what I need to buy/build to make it work. I have a raspi laying around doing nothing that I could use. Any pointers?

Hi Stu, when i reset I get all the folders on my desktop event though I have shortcuts on my desktop and unzipped to their own folders.. Any ideas? Thank you. Tony.

Unfortunatly the MFJ is no longer available.

Hi Stu, great video. My question is once I have set, send and receive to NO, and then upload the adi file to LOTW, then once every thing is up on LOTW go and set sent to Yes, do I then leave it on YES moving forward with uploads on closing the program? Regards Brent G5TV

I bet you are a teacher - your videos are very easy to understand even for non native speakers. thanks and 73 de HB9ATU

I'm not great at math, but followed your formulas as closely as possible. Hopefully I used my calculator properly. Anyway, can you do a double check on my figures. My antenna is a yagi, triband Cushcraft A3S with 8dbi gain up 11 meters. (roof peak = 15.5' plus up 21' on a mast for 36.5 feet. I run 500 watts (sometimes) ssb or CW. RG213 coax 55' long. I came up with a min distance power density of 0.1062 @ 100w pep; 0.5311@500w pep; and for the future 1500w pep, 1.593 . . . I didn't figure all the other stuff you did for cable loss etc because I don't know how. N7BUD

Thanks for the video . Appreciate the effort but , the radio noise really takes away from yoru explanation. Hard to make it through the end.

Great job on the video thanks! I see they have a smaller discone too on their website.

TNX Stuart from Spain, I'm Manuel, EA2BDR and I finally managed to get my QSOs uploaded to LOTW. I'll follow your posts. Thanks for everything 73

Great Work as always

*but, can you install a flat screen tv to the wall. weld, rebuild a manual tranny, engine?* *no sir, me no like math (this type) i'll stick to "half of the half, of the half. eye balling it or getting zapped* *my motto has always been "next math geek i see and hear gets a knuckle sandwich* *had to troll you, friendly neighborhood troll here. i keep some formulas written down and saved on my device (photovoltaic/solar thermal technician here) Keep Up The Good Work and I'll Pass it On*

Great video sir.... im 52 years old.... since m'y young age i always asked m'y father or m'y grandfather for advice on everything !!!!!.... even at home depot no matter what that young kid tells me ..... ill turn around and find a grey hair customer and ask him!!!!.... your vidéo is the proof.... older guys no what the f#$% they are talking about!!!!.... honest and reliable!!!!.... you made me 100% sure of m'y next purchase... buy the way excuse me for any grammary error.... im a french guy from Québec Canada !!!!.... great vidéo buddy!!!!

I love it-welcome to what I teach in all of my Technician level classes! (and disturbingly, often have to teach in Amateur Extra classes also). Oh, another handy addition is 1dB, or a ~20.6% increase. Close enough to call it 20%. So if 40dBm=10W, 41dBm=48W. I wish the League's license manuals would spend more time on this method and less on the pure mathematics. de W6KME

I have two BF's GT-5R and a UV-K5 Plus. Basically only the GT is clean. The rest are all the same old board with just different stuff soldered to it. We should stop buying them till they make some more up to date boards. The difference is probably 0.02 cents of filtering.

I used a commercial TDR ($$$) at work. The double length bump is always there.

Thanks for doing these reports. I was very interested in this radio

Good to see you back and testing ham radios again, Stu! Keep 'em coming!

Great work Stu a real eye opener. Have you tested the Anytone 878UVIII HT. I am using one

I have FT710. My win4yaesu works with FT710 virtual coms 7 and 8 connecting to win4yeasu but UCXLOG and JTDX and FLDIGI programs don't want to communicate with tranceiver via win4yaesu.

Great video, Stu.

Amazing but I wish there was a guide for going from a larger drive (with only a small portion actually used), to a smaller drive!! I’m pulling my hair out!

Good scanner antenna dont bother with tx on it though

Well done. I had been using a different utility that won't boot anymore.

stop stupid music in into

My analog Kikusui boot up really fast compared to digital Rigol 1054z.

I just recently purchased this antenna and according to Jetstreams website it will transmit on 11 meters and 6 meters too.. If it will work on 11 meters then maybe it will work on 10 meters with a few tweaks.. Dave W5DMG

Color me confused but you said the crimp connector was spinning on the coax, then hacked off a standard solder Amphenol (new ones suck btw) to replace it with another crimp? If that wasn't the bad connector you cut off why cut it so close, you could've made a short jumper with it... But I digress.

tnx for your kindness

Stu, a setting in my Yaesu 991A changed, and I can no longer use Winlink P2P packet 1200. I suspect it may be the COM port selection in the settings for Soundmodem as to the modem. Under PTT, did you select the standard Silicon Labs COM port or the enhanced Silicon Labs COM port for use with the 991A? Thanks.

Hey Stu! Thank you! I have a question. My Vara Hf winlink works great, but when I use HF P2P the tones that are generated upon attempting to connect are barely audible and I have difficulty connecting. Tones when using an RMS are perfectly loud and clear. Any insight as to why the P2P tones would be so weak compared to RMS?
