NEVER let "wall caught" inside a radio. radio guys don't spend any time breaking down what's being done like Mr Scott does. nice to see what's what with all his equipment

Bet I know where it came from... They suck!!

Love my DX5000

Unfortunately I have a radio a radioddity qt-40 i bought used and its previous owner messed with the service menu with only a watt meter and i know for certain its out of alignment badly lol i can't get any contacts on ssb and it only shows 20w peak with a tone The AM high was like 20w dead key the FM will also dead key 40w. My modulation is only showing a peak of 60% and that is with an echomaxx 2000 turned up. Now I did talk locally about 75ish miles about every night this past week and everyone says it sounds great and i only gave $80 for it i just wish there were more radio shops local to me so i wouldn't have to to ship a radio off.

How are you setting the high and low output levels on the radio?

Ive got a DX5000 plus i bought from you about 2 years ago, still in the box.

Your work speaks for itself. You are not selling snake oil or fairy tails.

***Mountain Fortress Labs*** I think I said Forrest Labs on the video I made for him by mistake.

President McKinley

Top Class Service + Knowledge 👍 Scotland 73s.

Thank you very much, very much appreciated! I don't talk AM with this radio, just lsb / usb skip! Also been getting very good reports with the President George fcc I had gotten from you with the dig mic. 73 ☠JR 14- 8152 VT

Awesome, thank you very much!

Thank you very much, I did purchase the Stryker from you a few years ago, Dec 07 , 2022, also picked up the Astatic Road Devil 4Pin mic. The Mckinley I bought from Knights in the UK. I was hoping I wouldn't have to send it back to the UK. It has the same issue with the plug. No golden screw drivers ever touched my radios! Just where I purchased them from are the ones that touch my radios. I have gotten excellent reports with that Stryker! ☠JR 14 - 8152 NEK VT

Keep the hardware from the old socket. You never know when you need a replacement plate or screw.

Thanks for this video!

I usually take my stuff to DTB Radio for alignment and such.

That channel 20 --- 27.205MHz is a calling channel in our country.

OK please ship one to Germany on my adress, thank you very much 😢

Great contact!! I use a Sirio 5/8 aluminium antenna about 36ft off the ground. Can’t wait to work DX.

I’m going to use the new green President mic on it.

Awesome! Can’t wait to try it out. My SSB club is gonna be impressed.

Move jumper to get HF bands, cutting wire = CB only I got mine paired with a KL203P ... using LOW power adjustment pushing 7 watts

Nice working radio . Doing around 80 watts PEP SSB will make great contacts. I did a park to park. NY to UK on 50 watts SSB from a QT 60 with a 25FT vertical and on battery ! Even got a 29 MHZ AM contact same day ! I played with length on my 4:1 25F to tune 1 band. getting under 1.5 SWR . Once I got 1.1 SWR on 27.074 MHZ . Only did that once so far. I get around 1.5 SWR I get on the air. A clean radio makes contacts. Love that new firmware. That RED on TX is great ! 73

ABR is awesome ! Based out of Texas and Woman owned business. I get my RG400 from them. They make what you want . If you can't do it from the website just call them. Chuck is very good ! They make cables for MRI machines . Best RG 213 I found is ABR They will put common mode chokes on them ! K8MRD ham radio tube did a factory ture of ABR industries and is on you tube ! 73

Great radio ive had one for 6 weeks now.. heat sink doesnt get hot just warm. Im running it stock on a moxon full wave horizontal. I contacted spain and france australia marshal islands no problem when the conditions are there. It puts out 104 watts pep on ssb and 90 watts AM on my watt meter.

Yea i have heard several on 10 meters saying they are running a kilowatt or 2 kilowatts thats to much for me my 45 watts on the aries ii i got from you does the trick before the band even really started getting good like it is now i reached Russia and Lithuania. Many thanks again for your work

Enjoyed the full video as always. 🎙️🎙️🎙️

Nice Rig. Nice contact. 73's from California.

Unusually through and gratifying to see. A+

I like these new radios and thee options. However i have decided to stick with my stryker 955 radios.

Hi sir I'm in Trinidad and would like to know what would it cost me to purchase the radioddity qt40 with the full mod thank you 9z4apa 73s.

Good Stuff. So many radio options these days it's hard to pick just one.

i have a question what yu do is great,why dosent the radio do as yu want from the factory

Amazing Full Alignment Video,,,,,,,,Cant Beat a Really CLEAN Radio 100% 👍 Scotland 108CT389.

Very good job ! I understand the alignment, Just do not have all the test gear needed. I know not to mess with settings. That bias setting is real important to be close as you can get. This you have to do again after changing out finals . Different batch of transistors are a tad different. this applies to BJT and FETS . Big difference on SSB on that one. well rounded with great cross over on scope after alignment. I see the IMD got better as well. Now all the power is right where you want it . The QT 80 draws in the 15 amp range at full power. Use larger AWG and be mindful of wire length . I like using 12 or even 10 AWG wire. We saw northern lights in NY from that solar storm. Messed up the bands during the day. Still making contacts Just dealing with noise and QSB. 10 and 12 meters the most effected . The noise filters in them QT radios work pretty good. 73

It would appear that the day of the, " GOLDEN " Screwdriver, and shade tree technician are gone !

I notice you do not use a static strap. I had to use one when opening the computer on a refer unit

Can't beat a good alligator clip ! Lol....!

Great video! Thank you!

Are you very busy now, how long would it take to get the radio at a top alignment

How is the heat on the heat sink now compared to before your work
