Hey, they're Chinese. Doing their best with Engrish.

Hey Fred. Ru going to hamfest on Friday. I'm thinking of driving up. Steve G0MQF near the mill in Park street

EIXT!

Does any one have the sequence of buttons to push to unlock without a pc like can be done with a UV-5 series

Is it a Battery Saving feature.

Re the country codes, I believe that Italy has 2 selections. It's either 4W AM/FM or 1W AM and 4W FM. I also noticed that I2 didn't have the full 40 channels.

Hello Fred, I've just bought and tested an ATS 25 AMP. I have an important question: WITH NO ANTENNA CONNECTED, does your unit have much higher noise, as seen on the S-meter, when you use the BFO-requiring modes (CW, RCW, LSB and USB) compared to AM?? Mine does, suggesting that the BFO spoils the good sensitivity seen on AM. I need to know whether to send mine back (if yours doesn't have this flaw), or keep it if all ATS 25 AMP units have this problem. When you have time, could you please respond below? TNX! Fred VE1FA

I specialise in these and other pre-built model engineering. These are well built but changing the governor spring to a bic lighter spring will get you a much better display hit and miss. Other tweaks on my channel. The one to get now is the excellent Retrol / MUSA HM-01. Chinese models at the best are the equal or superior to Western models now

Good enough to refund the engine ? when its a legal requirement to refund something that is faulty.

Nice one Fred!

Sweet sounding little engine

Thanks for the comments. I love playing with these little engines as well as steam models.

If you had a cordless drill or dremil with variable speed ajustment and put a rubber sanding arbor in the chuck and just ran it against the flywheel it would make easy work for starting .....just a thought .........amazing how those wee engines work

A masterclass in fault isolation.

that's a great little model fred thanks for that 👍👍

. Good job on the engine. Steam train 🚂 😊

Well done fred that is a interesting engine

Nice Flight sim.✈🛫🛬

Have you not been informed mediumwave longwave are going to be become redundant,the medium of the future is DAB DAB+internet 📻 radio that is were radio is going to be,even amateur radio is dying,the reason mobile phones, 🖥️💻 computers,these are the medium of the present and the future of communications around the world,no longer sitting at a HF radio ,just switch on a computer 🖥️💻 and the world is at your finger tips,also you don't need sit a radio amateur radio exam , also the world has shrunk due to the internet,also ask the question how many people have mobile 📱📲 phones ,that is the tool of modern communications networks, that is why people are not interested in buying and using expensive radios.

It also warter proof. I dropped it in a 5-gallon bucket of water I was on a ladder in there at least 30 sec not inside got wet.

What an absolutely beautiful toy My grandfather bought me an antique car of the same size as this- it was battery powered and had working headlights and made a vibreting sound like a motor under the BOnnet...I unfortunately.lost it at the beach- my grandfather was upset by that

I got a Mamod steam tractor new in 1978 when I was 10 and still own it , kept it mint and the box is still, happy memories Fred🙂

Thanks to you I managed to fix my dad's C70 with exact same issue as in this video 😁 Cheers!

Demasiado parlamento y no enseña lo fundamental del asunto (desarme, salida del cuadro, soldado y rearmar.). Demasiado inglés y poco didáctico

Excellent and you did show us patience and perseverance. Enjoy the same one, bought it when retired, couldn't afford when young. Same to my prewar sportster of 1934. A good supporting wife makes the difference!

I had exactly the same problem on my 2003 C70! Same fix basically!

De...ionised water will in time rot your solder joins in side your boiler, you must change to de stilled water or clean de stilled rain water, i hope this helps

I came across your video while looking for some information for another watch, so apologies for the untimeliness. I'm just a hobbyist, so this is should not be taken as "professional" advice. Commonly, this type of problem is caused by a bad crystal (oscillator). The LED display on these watches uses multiplex timing to light the LED digits & segments. The timing signals are derived from the same crystal oscillator that drives the time functions. When the crystal goes bad you will get the single random number displayed because the multiplexing timing that switches between the different digits is not functioning. It can always be the same number displayed or different numbers, probably due to switch bounce or some other circuit noise generated when the module is activated. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find exact replacement crystals for these vintage watches, but I've had reasonable luck using widely available (and inexpensive) new components. Usually, the crystal frequency value is 32.768 kHz and I try to find at least a +/- 20 ppm accuracy rating - a lower ppm tolerance rating would be better. If this works, you may also need to adjust the trimmer for time accuracy. Also, I've never been able to find out the correct circuit load capacitance value used in the different modules. The most common value I've seen in new crystals is 12.5 pF and this has worked for me in most circumstances, but this is not definitive for all modules. Hope this helps.

Sorry, cable wasn't plugged all the way into the radio its fine now.

Programming with CHIRP I get data not expected error? Do you know a fix?

Hi I’m here from 2024… crazy Mines still kicking

The battery in my one was half that size!

I just received 2 yesterday. The spelling is correct. Guess the new ones have been changed.

How do you turn off the dehumidifier on, I'm having to put a bucket every night to drain the water from it.

I never comment on videos in you tube but this was such a funny story i had tears in my eyes absolutely fantastic. So glad i stumbled across your channel kee up the great work 😂

Just picked one of these up used for 175 well worth it for summer

Youre joy is wonderfull to behold ! I would like to get that far With my 1974 Casiotron!

Ese radio funciona en México? Dicen que solo con cortar el puente del cable blanco sube a 18/19 vatios, es cierto?

Bet you're glad you got that air con unit for this year's summer 🤦🏻‍♂️😁

Another good video by FITS 👍🍻

I was watching a video about this a few days ago while my wife was sitting here with me reading a book and unbeknownst to me she surprised me this morning with a package and it was this. She explained how she’s seen how much fun I’d been having with my little DSP SDR and thought i could do with an upgrade. So with that said I’m saving it for the weekend after having a little play with it for a deep dive Saturday and Sunday 🙌

The advertising images on Amazon have the EXIT silk screening spelled correctly, so I don't know.

I want onen

Have you done a review of that USB LSB Am hand held Fred the German one?

Brilliant very enjoyable to watch.

Stop talking so much tell me how to sole the issue please

I bought this Fred. haha. See what's what. USA. Have a great day!
