FX-4CR , HF/6 SDR Transceiver MK111 - Unboxing 2024

[@heinerrambold8889]

Your rx situation is about as lousy as mine at times with a lot of undesired noise and unwanted signals from the house and neighbourhood. Thanks anyway for your good quality video!

Did you give the radio a workout on CW? MIne never was right and eventually gave up on it. My radio was purchased in August of last year. The radio had a bad habit of switching bands during CW transmission.

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

I am not CW enabled - lol

[@JonathanKayne]

Hey Philip, have you tried any of the newer firmwares on your FX4CR? Apparently BG2FX did a lot of work on the CW keyer recently and many of the complaints were fixed.

[@LiveWire_Guy]

Andreas, where does the MK111 designator come from?

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

It's 3rd Generation

[@gregmalonewa3gm680]

[@bobbyt3451]

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

No idea

[@bobbyt3451]

@HamTechRadioScannerDrones did you buy radio new ? If so how much ?

[@bobbyt3451]

@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones the radio at aliexpress looks totally differant than the one you have the one they show looks like a fake no usb and no cooling fan.

[@bobbyt3451]

@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones looks like you got a real one but the link you shared goes to the fake ones that have no fans no usb and the knobs have white lines on them so ?

[@QRPGUY]

Does the cooling fan run all the time?

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

No

[@antoniodifrancesco7327]

is there a voice keyer inside regards tony

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

What's that

[@JonathanKayne]

​@@HamTechRadioScannerDronesA voice keyer lets you record a message, like "CQ parks on the air from M0FXB". Really useful for contesting or situations where you might be saying something a lot. That being said, I don't think the fx4cr has memory playback

[@DC3AFA]

Is this really a newer version from BG2FX or only a knockoff? His website is still showing an XT-60 connector. The power connector on your device is not meant for higher currents…

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Seems fine to me.wprks.great
