I found myself chuckling quietly as I watched the second half of this video. Remembering days in the mid 1980's when EVERYONE was a radio GOD...The amount of times i heard the GOD GIVEN EDICT that you MUST run Heliax or better from your radio to your amp or your radio would implode was astounding. If ANYONE back then had caught you using RG142 from the radio into the amp, you have been dragged through the village naked, tied to a post in the town square, stoned for a while, then possibly set on fire and flogged with a cat-o-nine. Of course, they had NO IDEA that RG142 is good to 1400v and 1400w under 100ft/100Mhz..and at BEST your going to run 75w down your 2m length into your amp to the get it's 1000w output...easily within the specs of the coax. I also chuckled at the little bitch session about 10m of it being 40 quid in the UK.....damn stuff is $29.99AUD per metre in Australia, good coax for the job if you don't mind living in a cardboard box in a carpark somewhere, not so good if you wish to eat and pay your rent these days.......I can get a 30m pre made length of Hyperflex10 with connectors from M&P shipped to Australia for a little over $70AUD. Better coax by far, with their AMAZING connectors already attached (they are $15 each on their own). I think there's something fishy right there......

Loved this...

Well done Mike. It always gets me how every time we want to make even the smallest change to the shack it has to look so untidy before the improvement!! 😄73 M0DCX

[@decibelgeorge]

Good luck with the new setup. It sounds good so far. I am curious about the green angle bracket at the back of the desk. Maybe future extensions.? 😂

[@FromthehamshackwithNJ4Z]

Nicely Done Mike - great stuff, enjoy the FT-DX10!

[@M7BVV-Phil]

Grand job Mike , looking good!

[@Joe-KN4IFI]

Looks good Mike. I need to do the same thing here. I ran out the horizontal space some time ago and have been moving up vertically. I need to thin it out bad. 73 Joe

[@davepuckett3197]

ALWAYS enjoy your videos here in Texas, Mike! I'm in the middle of rebuilding here as well. 🙂 73 from W5ODP!!

[@mike-M0MSN]

Thanks 👍

[@adyg6ad73]

Enjoy the new radio Mike. We all have the spaghetti (and dust) behind our desks LOL

[@johnm0csn]

You made light work of that Mike..if you have a spare day I could do with a hand to do mine 😊...I think NY day will be spent rebuilding mine. Great to speak today, looking forward to hearing you once the DBX Is in and running. Cheers John M0CSN

[@mike-M0MSN]

Deal! ready and waiting mate..

[@db3mi]

[@M0RMY]

Hello mucker. 990 for the win!! 😀A change is good as a rest. Hope you are well mate. Enjoyed the video

[@mike-M0MSN]

Thanks 👍 Tom, glade to see your back. 😀

If only IKEA recognised the potential in creating a range for ham radio rooms (move over/qsy Billy here is the Over range). However, they may need assistance to show how much kit can be purchased and stored on a given amount of shelf space. I think that we as hams ought to offer our services to Ikea (others available?) at fitting a "quart into a pint pot!.

[@mike-M0MSN]

so true! lol

[@gtretroworld]

I do like a shack rearrange and although i love the DX10 i don’t think i would be putting the 890 to one side..I am actually interested how the two compare as the Kenwood has been on my radar for a future upgrade..73’s

[@mike-M0MSN]

funny you said that the Kenwood is being put back on the desk as I reply...

[@DXCommanderHQ]

I hope since you filmed this, you've put the Kenwood back in line! :)

[@mike-M0MSN]

that's next week 🙂

[@hammermekanik]

I cant believe he hasn't heard of you!

[@mike-M0MSN]

lol

[@LB7EJ_Bjorn_Otto]

Hi, nice video. I have the same setup (Ftdx10 and an Acom 1000) but I have not connected the amp yet. Need a cable from the 10 pin DIN to the Key in on the amp. Will get one tomorrow. What is your first impression of the FTDX10?

[@mike-M0MSN]

Great radio, but missing my TS890😢

[@markramsay6399]

Yo Mike - always enjoy your videos, and this is no different. Really enjoyable. [Aside - I know this is not the subject of this video - but how are the air-air heat pumps coming on now we approach the winter months? We have had air - water heat pump for 15 years so always interested to see how others get on ] / I have a Acom 1000 that has never yet been used in anger (I am 2E0MSR). Was supposed to get the full over a year ago but day job has just got in the way - must complete soon! / Great set up Mike. Mark.

[@mike-M0MSN]

Air to Air is brilliant Mark, keeps us warn in winter and cool in summer what's not to love.. Get that M0 that acom will love you for it :)

[@patrickbuick5459]

I seem to be redoing my shack into different spots and configurations weekly. It can definitely be a lot of work.

[@mike-M0MSN]

Yes it does!

[@PaulC-2M0YZT]

Nice video Mike 👍, How do you find the SP30 sound quality wise with the DX10 compared to the internal speaker?

[@mike-M0MSN]

It's good, but a lot of Bass....

[@user-bd1pk1rc1x]

Did you find any SWR difference Mike? Presuming you just swapped Rig for Rig (I know it wasnt that simple) rather than Coax changes etc.

[@mike-M0MSN]

Yes a little different but not that much in it 😊

[@barryabell5410]

Was it daylighting or led lighting over uk and France lol 🤣🤣

[@patrickbuick5459]

Compact fluorescent, I figure.

[@M0WWS]

1:45 🤣😂 Luís's not as strong as usual. Maybe he's knocked his amp down to 15kW

[@G1WHP]

Why delete my message? Paul

[@mike-M0MSN]

not deleted this end mate.. long time no hear Paul.
