I have one of those and the ATU is amazing. It could tune a wet noodle. It is even better than the tuner on my FTdx101mp.

Thank you for posting this video. You've answered so many basic beginner questions!

Happy new year Walt

Great trailer to the blog and great content as usual!!! Just picked up the antenna and looking forward to trying it out!

Excellent explanation ❤

Walt I have put up the ARRL Momobeam as my first directional antenna and WOW!!!! Can't wait until you try it out. Following the grey line even with the "armstrong" method is surprising. Great results. I am a believer.

cant find any specs stateing how many watts its good for

Love your enthusiasm just bought the g90 thanks to all your movies ive not been on the air for while and loving the little radio i do think the s meter is inaccurate and i find s7 contacts are really 9s confirming and what you are saying .Cheers Derek G6LDP

How many and what length for the radials, if I'm not near the beach?

Terrific video. Thank you, Fred N4CYF Portland Oregon

I don’t eat on 11 meter

Would a 1/4 wave vertical dipole for 10m be useful? I've made 1/2 wave vertical dipoles for 70cm and 2m that work well.

You’re an inspiration, my go to source for Ham everything. I’m praying for you and your wife for a healthy New Year, stay positive and thank you for all you do!

That looks like a good rig for getting on 10m during the solar peak. Greetings from Blighty and HNY when it comes Walt.

Thanks for all your videos Walt and all the best for 2025. Hopefully one day we'll get to do a G90 to G90 contact across the pond. Good luck M3OCC.

Could this radio be modified to work on 8 meters?

Here in the central Alabama area the hams are some of the worst. Now I'm not referring to all of them! The ones that talk about us 11 meter people like we're the scum of the earth yet they'll show up at a meet and greet just to stay to themselves and act superior to the non-ham crowd. I could easily put their call signs on here but I'll refrain because they need no extra attention. The gatekeepers all have one thing in common; narcissism! They are one of the main reasons I'll probably never get a license. They screamed for years that it was a dying hobby then the FCC changed the rules to the no code test and then those were labeled cheaters. To the uploader of this video; you are one of the real ham guys that want to only better the hobby and I can really appreciate that. I wish death upon no one because that's just wrong and would make me an awful person but... Sadly it's going to take a generation of some of these old farts passing on to get rid of the gatekeeper stigma. They've made it an awful hobby to cause someone like me to want to enter into. I'm nearly 60 and I've seen this ridiculous attitude since the mid 80's when I got real heavy into the 11 meter world. It's a pathetic double standard.

Hey Walt, big fan. Thanks for the video. I love building antennas like this to use at the beach. QQ: why did you go 64:1 on this? I usually see 4:1 on lengths this short, or otherwise no transformer if dipole. Always learning, and thanks again! Mike KC1VPI

Cool radio!

The Royal Navy top was a nice touch. Nice little radio.

Fun to watch. Love the ROYAL NAVY shirt. Happy New Year and best regards to Allison. K3DMM

Thanks for the shout out and linking! Great video and nice to see it in action! Cheers, Matt

Great radio! I'm still enjoying the QT80 though. I am going to think about getting one for my Rav4 because of it's size. It would be great to have a 10 and 12-meter rig in the car that I could take on my travels. I was just in Southern CA for 5 days and missed getting on the bands. This might be the solution. However, I'm starting to run out of space and reasons for buying radios but I can't help it. Thanks to you, I've found my niche in export radios and portable antennas. Thanks for all the great videos and Happy New Year to you and the family. I hope your wife is doing well...73...Hugh...KN6KNB

Thanks Walt for the video from a newbie and prayers for you and your wife.

Thanks!

Have @Wonderful New Year's ! / / thanks

Have @Wonderful New Tunes Year's ! // thanks

Walt was thinking of getting on thanks for sharing 👍

There are pleanty of reports of problems and bugs with that new radio, however you can't argue with the cheap price, and the SSB contacts you made. Good stuff! 73

I looked for months for a radio in that range because I already have radios 6 meter and up and after watching many videos and researching I bought a QT-60, it does 10, 11 & 12 meter with a clip of one wire, it has tons of storage Channels and is 60W out of the box and with a USB cable can control it and program it, I believe right from their site the bundle was $250? now having had it 6 months I love it!

I'm a 5 wpm general and sad hams have really soured me on the hobby.

Yeah you got it for the super bowl channel 6, lol. No lovely rigs I love my QT40, the noise reduction is amazing. Thanks love the information you put out for us, and it's not just HF, lots to learn. 🇺🇲🇬🇧🤔👍

Looks exactly like the Jopix ham-10 ??

Wow. Great little radio.

Interesting little rig Walt, I keep looking at them but still unsure. Having 10 and 12 at that price is so tempting for mobile static work. Pity there is no VOX to help with digi modes although that won’t interest the majority anyway. 73 Franco

Hi. Yes, just bought one from Moonraker too. I have bought from them several times before. It arrived very quickly by DHL shipping, about $45.00 extra. It does not have PL or an offset for 10 Meter Repeaters, such as my amateur radio equipment have, but they are much more expensive by comparison with that low price for the Titan unit. 😊

I am very limited in my HOA. I wonder if I can use my gutter downspout / zip it the antenna to it and run the coax (via UnUn/Choke) into the basement window where the shack is and get decent reception

Moonraker always has a good range of radios either for CB or Amateur radio users. I mostly buy from them when it comes to coaxial and such, Reason for it was I saw them selling at a rally and they were ex military. SO from that point on recognising my Veterans badge they gave me a discount so they have my loyalty with them. As for the radio... Looks nice. 30W on 10 and you are getting over the water shows how good they can be. Even their 2/70cms radio they made was a good all rounder FM with a small form. Sadly no longer sold but was a great radio though similar in size to the Anytone 4M radio. SO yeah, nice radio.

Really like the signal displays and the overall look of the rig. 73s Walt de N2VQD

Great top Walt ! Love the fact that you are nearly doing the full UK , DX comander pole , Royal Navy top , and a UK supplied radio . Happy New Year to you , and your XYL . Have a great 2025 . Rob 2E0GQL
