I will be there in 2 weeks 😊

We need a Ham radio outlet around Grand Rapids Michigan kc6nfv

Thanks for showing, 73

I just visited Rocket ham last week bought a diamond antenna and some nice new coax there!

Who's to blame?? Seriously? Don't you think it's the liberal policies [ for political gains] of these nations who open their borders, for individuals looking to better their lives - only to bring in hatred/ violence /terrorism! High time these nations deport them. Let their countries of origin manage them!

Hi mate, when you go back to pick up all the stuff you bought, grab a 710 for me🤣 73 DMJ

G'day Adam. Thanks for the tour. Years ago I used to deal with HRO Atlanta - Mark KJ4VO - for a few things that we couldn't get here in VK. As per usual, there wasn't anything for 23cm and beyond in the store... That's where the JA markets still seem to be the hotspot for 23cm and beyond stuff... Thanks for the video tour... 🙂 Cheers, VK3BA

I wonder if there will ever be another time when there is no ft8. We don't need ft8!

Hi Adam, I couldn't comment on the meanwell sps youtube but try earthing the mains earth to -v output as the power supply is floating so i think you will find 98% of your noise should disappear ,let me know how it goes please

thank you

Thanks for that Adam. I am headed to Japan straight after the WIA Conf. In Bundaberg and will definitely be in those shops!! Cheers Tim VK5ZT

I would put down as the off position so if something fell on it, more likely it would switch off than on

If you dont use the gear often.. here is a better idea.. take the batteries out, this saves the battery and they wont leak and kill your equipment.

More annoying than the expense is discovering the device won't work when you need it at 2am and the shops selling batteries are closed. 😡

I’m looking to purchase the 710, wondered how the AESS feature toggled on other speakers. I’ve got an old set of Logitech z5500 speakers collecting dust and want to put to good use. Do you turn off the internal speaker ?

My dream

Did the gurantee set 1+2 to be key+fill and 3 and 4 and fill only?

Thank you the stroll down memory lane, ichiban.

Wow, this bought back a lot of memories as I used to live their, Tokyo, near to Mitaka = 3x Eagles.

Hi,good interesting video, I was surprised how few customers were in the Rocket Amateur radio shop, here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱, the Icom and Yeasu are on permanent cash back,,maybe sign of the time's,,,thanks and 73s from Rotterdam 👍

I wish we had radio shops like that where i live in Michigan, USA, all our good radio shops closed up. We need a DC engineering or a HRO in Michigan.

Thanks for showing, 73

Could I get in trouble in there. 73s

AWESOME!! Looks like a NYC camera store in the 90's

Oh man, so jealous! I want to hit up the Tokyo Ham Fest as well!

Man. That might beat HRO. For the transceivers though, the only difference I've seen between the JA and US spec HF rigs is my 891 didn't come with 60m. I MARS modded it and manually input the memories, so probably no worries there. The 2m/70cm HTs for sure are nearly unusable. I have a JA spec FT1 and it won't go over 146 or 440, even with the mod.

its done like JBHIFI

Geez Adam, that ham radio toyshop is out of this world!

OK, so now I know where I will be going if I ever visit Japan!

Does it talk to n1mm to switch bearings? 73

Adam why don't you or someone else build and sell a replacement for the G5400/G5500 controller? These boxes are a pain butt. They have no protection, the design is outdated and I have had multiple transformers go out. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it just a 26vac supply and some switches? Your controller and others do all of the hard work now days. I don't need lame meters with weird bulbs that you can't find. Don't we just need your controller and ac for the motors and feedback from the pots in the motors? Help me out, what am I missing?

Great job Adam. I'm about to start delving into portable satellite operation with my arrow antenna soon.

Love it 😍

Perfect timing Adam! I bought your Teensy interface board a few years ago in hopes of building an EME station. The expense of 1296MHz gear and amplifiers scared me off for now. So switching over to build a linear satellite station. I have a spare azimuth rotor and a spare actuator for elevation so no need for an expensive az/el rotor.

Great job Adam. Looks great.

Hi Adam, no mention of the Cat Control in the background!

Hmm..

Subbed!

Very interesting idea. Mine are fixed at 30 deg like you mentioned at the beginning of the video. To implement something like this I must extend my mast. Thanks for sharing. 73

Nice job, pity that rotor control is no longer available. The metal bearings wouldn't rust out if you packed them with grease.

Hello Adam. I’m purchasing a G-5500 but next summer moving to the Philippines. Their voltage is 220 there. I called Yaesu and they would not provide me a schematic of the controller or share process so I could convert. Would you be able to advise on the wiring mod from 120 to 220 or tell me how to obtain a schematic? Thanks in advance.

Hi Adam, thanks for the kudos! Do you have a part number for the resettable fuses? 73, Mike

CE4JDM in Chile here. Can someone help? I have a new G-5500 on the way and I'd like to know if the rotor controller from Yaesu can be controlled directly from my PC through software, or another piece of hardware is absolutely required?

If it’s in kit form if it's in kit form normally the lights are off The reason is it’s cheaper to send it. Not sure why, but that’s always been the rule from America to Europe for example

Thanks for the explanation. I am contemplating purchasing a mint 5500 and 232A for sensible money and was looking to improve my knowledge. Thanks for that. Nick M1DDD

Hey pal, nice video!. Been following you for a while, watching your soldering videos. I got a weller wtcpt but the problem is that it's not turning on, there's no light at all. Can you help me?

Thank you!!

Excellent Adam! Could you please tell me where the pins for the Nextion are defined in the K3NG code? Will give it a try with an Arduino Uno which works great with the K3NG code at the moment. I could not find anything in the rotator_pins.h. Many thanks for your great work and 73

Great, great, great......i am thinking of doing it to use it with az / el Satnogs rotor ..... many thanks. IZ3ZLU

thanks Adam, Happy New Year :) .... something I didnt understand ..... the programming PC needs a RS232 slot or USB to RS232 adaptor cable ? or is that AXE027 cable have a USB connector on it with an internal usb-serial converter built in ? ..... cheers, Dave, VK2TDN
