What a great video! I got my technician license about a year ago and wanted my first radio. My QT40 came in on Thursday and this video helped answer a bunch of questions I had. Thank you so much!

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Welcome to the hobby and enjoy the QT40!!

[@davidturknett4447]

I just installed this radio in my '05 TJR. I live in South East Arizona, and it's pretty quiet. I have a 4' tunable Firestik on the way, and I hope it gets the swr's where they need to be. I've been watching as many videos about this radio as I can.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.

[@canyondan]

mounting a switch externally to change the jumper position would work well.

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. That sounds like a great idea.

[@johnpierre1898]

Where did you get the frequency chart that shows the D Band after conversion to CB?

[@robertstevens4891]

I was able to download the basic frequency chart.Where can I download the expanded frequency chart ?

[@BeingWolfy]

That was cool hearing the grand reaper come through. I'm pretty sure I have him on some of my YT videos from 12+ years ago. It's been a long time since I've been into the hobby. This looks like a good radio for sure.

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!

[@sailingfreedomandfireflies2184]

Does that jumper mod change all the bands on the radio from the chart you show?

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. When converting to the CB band (11 meters) it will move some of the other frequencies around to make room for the CB frequencies.

[@VickyGeagan]

I think this is the same radio of the Any Tone Aries II. It is the same programming software. With the latest firmware update, through the programming software you can turn off the beeps adjust the roger beeps. Also, it provides a digitally scale for the mic gain and rf output levels. With a channel display frequency display just by holding the up and down buttons on the mic together without transmitting. You can also unlock the classifier too get it to swing.

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the info!

[@Siskiyous6]

Thank you for showing this to us. That is this radios real niche.

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@cassiemcottle2944]

Is there anyway you can share a copy of the expanded HF frequency list in your video or what is the website

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I will see if I can get a copy of it for you,

[@DanFreeland-c2d]

This was a great help, I changed the jumpers on my QT40 just like you showed and it works. Is there anyway you can share a copy of the expanded HF frequency list you show in the video?

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I will look for them and see if i can post a link to them.

[@thegeneraljoe67]

Does this model have inner adjustments for output wattage , and or increased modulation ? If so would u consider making a video ?

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I am afraid I don't know. Unfortunately I am unable to make any further videos since the radio I had was a loaner from Radioddity

[@travis4588]

After moving the jumper to the 2 and 3 position for the 11 meter, do you have to do any programming or is it good to go after just moving the jumper? Good videos by the way!

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! Once you move the jumper you should be good to go.

[@travis4588]

@@WJ6FRadio Thanks for the reply!

[@captdavec590]

Where can I get the frequency chart for the radio after the conversion?

[@captdavec590]

Can you please tell me how to get the qt40 frequency/band chart before and after the modification. Thanks

[@DavidGrimmVNV]

Will CB work if you don't switch 12 to 23. Tried to switch and ended up with no little item. Now radio doesn't work.

[@captdavec590]

Does it read CB channels by number on the display only after making the conversion?

[@470smith]

I did the mod the mod then put it back. I can still transmitte on cb frequencies. Is this normal?

[@htrock925a]

Where can i get the freq chart after mod to the radio.

[@peteanddrake4242]

You need to download the software and connect with a cable to change the beep and other settings, I think.

[@WJ6FRadio]

Yes, you do.

[@timmack2415]

I picked one of these up from Amazon for $149.00 on black Friday with free shipping. For the price, I can't complain too much and being able to monitor my 2-meter repeater is a plus. My Bird meter shows just a hair over 12 watts on AM and 27 watts on FM into a dummy load. My main complaint is with the receiver. It's fairly sensitive, but the selectively is just horrendous. I mean this is a "splash box" the likes of which I have never experienced. Thanks for the video!!

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the info!

[@rev-mikemckay9750]

Do you have a frequency chart for AFTER the mods are done? Or do you know WHERE I can obtain one? TIA

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I don't have one, but I will see if I can get one.

[@mycatkramer]

Great Job on the Video, thank you for all your hard work on it....... Great Radio!!

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Glad y ou liked the video.

[@rpcomms1]

Also has ctcss capabilities in S-NFM mode for CB or ham uses 👍

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.

[@VickyGeagan]

Did you play with the programming software? I have not made my purchase yet. Just downloaded the programming software looks like you can teach it a few new tricks.

[@randyab9go188]

The only thing I can say is if you want one you better buy it soon. Anything easily modifiable like this will be banned for importation by the FCC very soon. There or radios that were harder to modify than this that were banned. Realistic HTX-100 and the Uniden 2510 for example: LIST OF TRANSCEIVERS ILLEGAL TO IMPORT OR MARKET GALAXY - models: DX33HML, DX 44V, DX55V, DX66V, DX 73V, DX 77HML, DX 88HL, DX99V and Saturn Turbo CONNEX - models: 3300, 3300HP-ZX, 3300 PLUS and CX-3800 MIRAGE - models: 44, Galaxy 88, 9900 and 2950EX NORTH STAR - models: NS-3000 and NS-9000 PRESIDENT - models: Grant, J.F.K., Jackson, Lincoln, HR-2510 and HR-2600 PRO STAR - model: 240 RANGER - models: AR-3500, RCI-2950 and RCI-2970 TEK - model: HR-3950 UNIDEN - models: HR-2510 and HR-2600 SUPER STAR - model: 121 For further information concerning the listed transceivers or similar models, contact Ray LaForge or Gary Hendrickson at the FCC Laboratory, 7435 Oakland Mills Road, Columbia, MD 21046, [phone] or [phone] respectively, or E-mail: [e-mail] and [e-mail]

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. For years I wanted to get the Ranger RCI-2970N4, but couldn't justify the $700+ price tag.. Now they are discontinued. Nice thing about the 2970N2, N3 and N4 is they had what i believe was called an E chip for converting. Made it supper easy. Now they have the new RCI-99N2 and N4. Not sure of this newer version also uses the same system for conversion. I do not trust these "Golden Screwdriver" CB Techs. Saw a lot of them mess up good radios when I used to drive a semi cross country.

[@hawgseason]

Thank you so much for this video! Couldn’t figure out why I was unable to program the lower 25-26mhz as shown in the programming software. Radio kept keeping the 10M bands and putting CB freqs on High E. Watched your video, and bam! Programmed and converted in 30 seconds. Appreciate you big time.

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Glad this video was helpful.

[@captdavec590]

Do I have to do anything with the software (i.e , with a computer) when converting this to 11 meters. Also, where do I get the BANDCHART for frequencies before and after the conversion?

[@createyourworld5166]

No. I've been using mine for several months. I've yet to use the programming cable. I need to put the 2 meter/70cm repeaters and EMS frequencies in the WX slot.

[@jan3561]

Very good how you visualized this modification. Just a comment about the transmission power. I have the same radio, mine has just around 40 Watt transmission power on FM. My swr is 1:1. This may also be the reason why the indicated power is different for you.

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Good points!

[@bluehappyscrap]

How loud is the talkback?

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. It is adjustable. and from what I can tell it can get pretty loud!

[@TheSmokinApe]

Well, would you look at that! Nice job Craig 👍

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Someone had to make this video!

[@JK-mo2ov]

Nice video. That’s great it’s am/fm/ssb some others with CB mod are just am/fm

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.

[@billsellers9509]

Thank you for sharing

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.

[@alexyu6928]

Does this mod give you 12 meter also?

[@SCUBAScott]

Does it still work on 10M after the mod?

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!! Yes, it still works on 10 meters, but the channels are not in the same order.

[@SP3BUS]

Any chance to unlock 12m?

[@WJ6FRadio]

I don’t think so.

[@hectorltorresramirez8199]

check your power on the radio

[@paulcarcamo6992]

Thank you for the video. Very nice I like it already.

great job 10/4

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.

[@peteanddrake4242]

yeah! finally someone willing to post a video about the obvious:)

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.

[@charlesboston1]

what antennas' would you recommend for this in a mobile aplication ?

[@WJ6FRadio]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. When used as a CB I am a fan of either the Wilson 2000 or 5000. Stryker also makes a good antenna.
