jaw-dropping sound quality with the noise reducer on on 29.15 MHz amplitude modulation

[@brianwilliams8620]

JUST ANOTHER THUNDERPOLE TX HANHELD CB WITH ANOTHER DIFFRENT MAKE ON IT. EXCELLENT PIECE OF KIT THOUGH.GREAT NOISE REDUCTION AND YOU CAN EXPAND THE FREQUENCIES.

[@Dave44271]

I want one. It's great to see new choices for 10 meters.

[@tonymagnier9846]

Looks really good, thank you for sharing.

[@TechMindsOfficial]

My pleasure 😊

[@knoxieman]

Great review and a superb price on that set, cheers Mat.

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Thanks 👍

[@Sidmi5utc]

Similar to the Thunderpole and Pni Escort radios. Great to have all these choices.

[@lavideotecadeangel]

Nice radio and good video, thanks for all...

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Our pleasure!

[@alessandroconcas]

Great CB, some friend of mine buy the twins from thunderpole uk and I buy the PNI clone ... both cb and 10 meter was good , 12 so so, in trails for offroad adventure with friends without fixed radio was really effective even withj original antenna inside the jeep (maybe cause fiberglass roof shel?!)

[@zeproo]

Tech minds where the CB and radio amateur hobby blends together, right :-)?

[@dangruner5926]

Quality of the noise reduction - and on AM, is superb..!

[@vonzigle]

Thanks!

[@m3uec]

Good video. Not a bad price either for that thing.

[@digitalmediafan]

Ive noticed the display layout is not the same as the thunderpole. Is there anyway to change this ? Plus it seems you can't auto scan either

[@salvatoremancuso6060]

I have the PNI Escort HP 82, it-s basically the same radio as the JOPIX and to go in to scan mode you long press the EMG/SC button.

[@digitalmediafan]

@@salvatoremancuso6060 I don't think that works but I'm returning it anyway if I can as the display is mot the same as the Thunderpole including the signal meter. Not impressed

[@laurentconstantin4877]

super vidéo 😏👍mais pourquoi la modification ( quelle soit hard ou soft ) ne tourne pas sur net ...😕

[@om0wt]

Hi @TechMinds. I found that my radio bought in Spain has no export mode enabled. Any hint how to enable it? The internets are not very helpful so far..

[@om0wt]

Hi @Tech Minds. I have bought that rig and tried to charge the battery yesterday. It took me more than 5 hours to fully change it with included charger and cable. The rig was drawing only 0.3A while charging... Is this normal? What is your experience? Thanks.

[@alexderpyracc4053]

It doesn't have the export mode anymore

[@fuellifetv2934]

I have the PNI Escort HP82 looks exactly the same, but ive tried your trick holding down FUNC and PTT when turning on hoping it would do the same function but it doesn't, do you know if my PNI will do this with a different button combo? thank yoy

[@mustang131radio]

I tried the same. Doesn't work with the PNI HP82

[@derletztezeuge1]

What's the difference between the Jopix 514, thunderpole t-x, PNI escort and the Mass KCB, they all look the same on the outside but what about there functions and frequencies etc ??

[@vestale4]

It has shift 0.1MHz or CTCCS tones?

[@delboyonline]

Did you have to do anything to activate the wideband menu because many users are reporting that this radio does not have access to the menu out of the box? In other words, nothing happens when they do the key press.

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Nope, it just worked out of the box for me.

[@delboyonline]

@@TechMindsOfficial it appears to depend on where you buy it. Some dealers enable the mod others don't.

[@alexderpyracc4053]

There is probably a loop to be cut somewhere

[@Bordberti]

was ist mit Deiner Modulation passiert? Studiomikrofon kaputt? 73 Maik

[@electricbloke]

Hey there Matt, did you get my email? I won the rtl sdr 👍📻 I sent it on your m0dqw page, there wasn't an email address on your KZbin info. I'm loving this handheld CB btw, I have a Moonraker major 42, and a Midland 42 already, or I'd be rushing out to get one, or the Thunderpole TX, which seems very similar.

[@alessandroconcas]

I still have a lot of old and not so old cb, my alan 42 was good the replace 42ds same good but dont like autosquelch, have the pni clone of major42 was good to but JOPIX-PNI-THUNDERPOLE in this video I can says are better without doubt (i'm little curious about new president randyIII)

[@electricbloke]

@@alessandroconcas I expected the newer radios to be better, I'm now thinking about selling my old handhelds on the used market, and upgrading to something like this in the video 🤔 The Randy looks pretty good, just a little expensive compared to this one, and the Thunderpole TX. I think Andy Kirby reviewed the Randy, but that might have been the Randy II?

[@TechMindsOfficial]

@electricbloke No sorry, didn’t get it as there was an issue with the contact form. The email address is now on that same page, please email me. Thanks

[@Tank6883]

Seems to be a very versatile handheld. It would be great for some 10 meter portable. Question. Can this be adapted to the US CB bands?

[@electricbloke]

​@@Tank6883I think that US CB band is the same as the mid band, which is common on most of our radios in the UK. I aren't certain, but maybe someone else can chime in with a solid answer.

[@dougfick3328]

I'm sure the baofeng owners will be all over this

[@mikeeb9245]

Can you tell me if there is a 27mhz repeater near Amersham

[@TechMindsOfficial]

No there is not. Look on UK Repeaters website for UK repeater locations. Not sure there are any active 10M repeaters active in the UK. There used to be.

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Are you in Amersham?

[@mikeeb9245]

No...

[@mikeeb9245]

11m repeaters

[@digitalmediafan]

There is a 10m repeater in Worthing west Sussex

[@davepickering997]

Similar to the President Randy III

[@4X4-RADIO]

The charging is not quite USB-C, well not with the 3 USB-C chargers I have It will charge from a USB-A charger with the USB-A to USB-C cable, like supplied.

[@tommyboy9998]

What is that Greek thing on 29.250?

[@christiankreps5920]

Yes that's Greek. Very impressive if the included rubber duck is being used indoors.

[@igalomne6555]

Spurious emissions do not play a role in the CB band - is that the reason you haven't tested them?

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Spurious emissions play a role on any transmitter, regardless of frequency. But a good point, I should of checked it.

No that should be loud and clear. SSB is necessary for most hams. I'm not going to waste my money if it don't have what I want. 73

[@jplacido9999]

SSB hand portable rádios are rare and not the best performers. FM will be good enough for field comms. SSB on portables with weak batteries is not usable...

[@joeblow8593]

No SSB? Not interested.

[@digitalmediafan]

You would never get SSB for that price

[@cariboooutlaw4852]

Who cares if it has no SSB, it's a great radio for the price!

[@digitalmediafan]

@@cariboooutlaw4852 the fact it works on 10m AM and FM is,definitely a plus for us hams

[@joeblow8593]

@@cariboooutlaw4852 No it's not. It's not FCC certified for use in the U.S. The FCC would never certify that anyway. Sounds like it's from some fly-by-night no-name China brand. People should save their money and for $100 more, get a SSB radio so they can talk farther. A hand held AM/FM CB might only get out 2 miles at best.

[@cariboooutlaw4852]

​@@joeblow8593well since you commented that, there's been several KZbin videos posted since then showing that these AM/FM radios have very good range. Some of these handhelds have a range up to 25 Km away with just the rubber duck antenna!
