I just got this radio as a door prize at our radio clubs winter field day. I'm looking forward to installing it in my truck. I was disappointed that there was no mounting plate included. In talking to my son, we think we can do the install using a cell phone clamp and a flexible arm. I did see that there are over a thousand channels. Wow that's a challenge to fill all that. I think a buddy just may have the software and programming cable. If not there is RT SYSTEMS for $50. So it's not a problem. I like RT SYSTEMS and their products. I can't complain too much as cost for mounting plates as it was a free radio but it is loaded with what a Ham can do. Liked the video it was informative.

And I thought DMR was state of the art radio. Seems like it very out dated programming. Why can't such a modern radio do this without programming. When we put in our digital id in the radio. It should be able to down load all this info. This is the 21st century not the 20th century.

I bought this 11 years ago and have used it for travel since then. ONLY complaint is that the PVC coating flakes off over time. So there are little flecks in constantly cleaning out of the pockets. But…10 years folks. Really not a complaint.

Hey - good video. I also have an MFJ1919EX - this past weekend, I operated and mother nature rained on us. Today I took it apart and noticed that there was rust inside the steel base, and the lower fiberglass poles were discolored with rust. Have you found a good way to clean inside the base tube and/or the poles themselves (and a good dry lube)? Thanks again ! 73

I did not see any actual power test in your review. I bought one of these from Amazon because of the advertised 10W output power. When I actual tested it (2m band) the highest output I could get was 6W, which is barely 0.8dB more than the typical 5W HT. So if you're buying one of these because of the allegedly higher output power, think twice!
