Impressive quality and performance after almost 40 years. Thanks for the thorough walk-through and Merry Christmas.

Thanks for feed-back Yann! Merry Christmas

[@TheRadioShop]

Great job on converting the rig to ham. I always like these videos because I get to see how radios are made in other countries. Thanks for sharing Peter.

[@TRXLab]

Thank you my friend. You are right and although it is a German radio I like to see the high quality work.. Take care...

[@robertcalkjr.8325]

Nice little radio. Thanks Peter.

[@TRXLab]

Thanks for stepping in Robert.

[@OleF112]

Oh great video on MY ;-) playground, Peter. I loved it! By the way, after removing the tonesquelch board, you can use the mic buttons an the left in space in the mic housing to insert a 1750 HZ generator for repeater call. You can inject the audio just in place, and ther is also DC power to feed the little pcb. Have a nice sunday, i will brew my next cup of tea. Als the best an 73 de Olaf.

[@TRXLab]

Thank you Olaf! Very good idea with the 1750Hz ton. Do have done it already before? Have a nice Sunday too 73

Awesome job peter big thumbs up 👍

Thank you Allan!

[@rossrogers2979]

Thank You for the great video. I would have loved to see what you were doing to the radio to make the transmit align.

[@williamcolvin3609]

Wishing a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, your family and your friends!

Great video Peter '73

Thank you Mathieu! 73

[@g1fsh]

I have 2 or 3 of these old radios so its nice to know that they will work well on 2 meters Peter. Its just a shame that xtals are so expensive in the UK. Its as cheap to buy a programable multichannel radio as it is to but 2 crystals for a radio like this now. Great video Peter it takes me right back lol

[@TRXLab]

Hi Gary, yes that is true it is almost not worth to buy these crystals as those are more expensive than a newer PLL version. Thanks for comment 73

[@chrisstorm7704]

Fantastic video as always. I’d love to better understand the construction differences between the commercial radios compared to the ham models. I own both types of radio and understand the differences in how they operate, but wonder what makes a radio like this of higher quality.

[@herbertsusmann986]

Nice mod Peter! I am a bit surprised anyone would still be interested in using a 2 channel xtal controlled 2m rig like this. The modern ones are so cheap now!

[@TRXLab]

Well the audio quality is outstanding and that is what the operator was looking for. Thanks for comment

[@ProdigalPorcupine]

TRX Bench - it’s a very nice radio, I’d have been tempted to do a PLL conversion on it. Maybe I have too much time on my hands!

[@danishnative9555]

Bosch made FM two ways? That's a new one for me. I do know from personal use, they make some great pro-level demolition hammer drills. Too bad Mitsubishi discontinued those very versatile bi-polar based power amplifier modules that were used extensively in many older radios.

[@TRXLab]

Yes Bosch was in in the radio business for decades...and they produced first call quality products. Thanks for watching

[@RupertHandford]

Great work at always - what has happened to your big old communications tester? Have you sent it to me for Christmas? Take care my friend

[@TRXLab]

LOL yeah of course it is on its way to you. Hope it arrives in time :^) All the best Rupert

[@jamessawyer4625]

That was fun

[@TRXLab]

Thanks for watching James

[@mikaelkarlsson9945]

Peter, where do you buy quality crystals and how much are they?

[@Werlaf]

The crystals came from www.quarztechnik.com and they were about 70.-€ (for both)

[@shehzadzadi4332]

Sir I need u to trouble shoot any of a pcb using hunteron tracker or ABI system 8 tester.. Actually I need to know how to work with them... Thanks in advance

[@douro20]

Do you still use the CMT55 for anything?

[@TRXLab]

Yes it happens to be using the CMS 50 for FM and AM work and the CMT for SSB work. If I need special features such as moving notch filter I use the CMS only. Anyway there is no real reason for doing so. It is always good to have a full functional back up.

[@FlexxVision]

Feinste Technik seiner Zeit, man wusste nicht wie sie es damals herstellen konnten. Wie bei den Pyramiden präzise Kammern. Und ein Dickschichtmodul.

[@TRXLab]

LOL, ja Karsten es ist wie bei den Pyramiden oder noch besser wie beim Apollo Mond Programm. Wir sind HEUTE nicht in der Lage das zu wiederholen und das mit sll unserer modernen Technik. Danke fürs vorbeischauen.

[@FlexxVision]

Das habe ich als Gegenstation für den ic-7.3k gekauft und bin zufrieden senden von 30Mhz > 2.5Ghz keine Filter aber als Testsender und auch als Frequenzumsetzer ein Träumchen. 30.72MHz VCTCXO (precision: ±1 ppm initial, ±4 ppm stable). www.amazon.de/LimeSDR-Flexible-Next-Generation-Software-Defined/dp/B076BCH7CZ

[@Soundfactory24]

Erinnert mich an mein QRL, dort haben wir auch den CMS50 (auch CMS52) 28:00 warum hast du nicht den NF-Generator vom CMS50, stattdessen einen externen Generator benutzt ? 73 DL1LAJ

[@TRXLab]

Ja die CMS Reihe sind immer noch klasse Systeme. Ja er hat einen internen ausio generator und das soger noch als doppeltonvariante...Es ist reine Gewohnheit sonst nichts.. Danke fürs vorbeischauen. 73

[@barryfennell9723]

Sie haben alte Militärvideos zur Herstellung von Kristalloszillatoren. Ich verstehe die Ausbreitungshäufigkeit von Wellenlänge in Dezibel nicht ganz.

[@TRXLab]

Hi Berry thanks for comment but I have to admit that I do not understand what you want to say...

[@anonymosanonymos3897]

Das auf Deutsch wer klasse , hast du eine Email ? Für ein Kontakt, brauche Hilfe bei mein KF 168 Chip S

[@stargazer7644]

That is one ugly radio.

[@TRXLab]

Yes it is ugly but first quality :^)

[@livelongandprosper70]

WAYYYY to long !.. this video could have been 5 minutes !

[@TRXLab]

you have the freedom not to watch my videos. So just leave it

[@Werlaf]

Another clueless guy with a golden screwdriver, who would run the radio without any alignment. Awful. Keep it up, Peter. Both thumbs up. :-)

[@whisker49]

DO YOU HAVE TO SAY "YAH" EVERY OTHER FEW WORDS? IT GETS RATHER ANOYING...JAN BETA DOES THE SAME ANOYING THING. TRY TO NOT SAY THAT, AND SAY WORDS THAT MEAN SOMETHING PERTAINING TO YOUR DEMONSTRATION. YOU ARE VERY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO, SO THAT IS NOT MY POINT.

[@Alan2E0KVRKing]

Do you have to type a whole comment in CAPS? It gets rather annoying! Use caps to emphasize only what is important! Using CAPS on the internet in this way, is equivalent to shouting in real life. Maybe the "YAH" is a German thing?

[@ptronix]

Does it matter? Doesn't bother me, he produces excellent content is the main thing

[@samiam5557]

Your a troll, Peter is fantastic, JA!

[@OleF112]

Whisker49, it is not very polite to be a guest here and tell people how to act so that it is not anoying to YOU. YAH is JA (Yes), it is common when you talk, especially when you make sure that everything works fine and the results are as expected. JA! Peter is not a native speaker, his English is quite good. I bet, his English is way better than your German! Somebody to go with my bet?

[@whisker49]

@@OleF112 THIS EXCELLENT REPAIRMAN IS PUTTING HIS VIDEOS ON A ENGLISH WEBSITE AND IS DESIRING TO OBTAIN ENGLISH SPEAKING FOLLOWERS TO SUBSCRIBE AND DONATE MONEY TO HIM. NO ONE IS ABOVE BEING CONSTRUCTIVELY CRITISISED, INCLUDING PETER. ARE YOU PUTTING HIM UP AS YOUR IDOL GOD?
