Demo of the Penntek TR 45L

[@w2aew]

Very nice - I put my request in for one of the first pilot run rigs - can't wait to get it in my hands and on the air!

[@AE5X]

I'll be looking forward to hearing your impressions, Alan!

[@w2aew]

@@AE5X I will certainly post a review video!

[@JDDupuy]

Received mine last week. Love the look and feel of the rig. Your setup shows just how simple and fun it can be! Great example of CW Op.

Man, that is one cool radio. I'd love to get my hands on one. Ivan VE7IVN

Nice video. Those are neat little radios. I like the analog meter. Gives the radio a nice touch. Don't see those anymore. Barry, KU3X

Great rig and video. I had not heard of this radio before.

Nice radio and super squeeze Nye Viking key!!! 73 LU8HRW

Very nice demo. It appears to me that the notch filter works as it should. Curious...on your website you said you used these products for arrl dx contest. Is the a cat interface to track frequency to a logging software?

Thanks for sharing your activation and the new rig! 73 de N4AAJ

Thanks for watching and 73!

[@JB-js4xi]

I really like that. Great video!!

[@marklowe7431]

Using an analog gauge is great

[@Tom-W7TMD]

Nice Rig!

[@TridentMissileTech]

What is name brand/model of your key.

[@AE5X]

It's a Nye Viking SSK, no longer available new. I've been using this one since 1978.

[@donr2670]

RACED to get on the list for this radio, but... No 10 meters? Is this possible? Deal killer here if so. Anyone know if there is a reflector for Penntek or another reflector that often references the brand? Excellent++ video by the way, almost as fun as being there!

[@lyingcat9022]

You get an answer on the no 10m? Does seem weird.

[@donr2670]

@@lyingcat9022 Nope. Looks cool all around, but does not have my band. Story of my life! But RGO ONE saved me hihi...

[@eddy2561]

Well done video. Rig needs a much bigger turning knob...73/K6SDW

[@AE5X]

I agree - did put a bigger tuning knob on my TR-35 and will do the same with this one.

@@AE5X Very impressive rig!

Stay safe.

wow very nice radio and thanks for the video. I sure don't need another radio lol de KN4OK

[@AE5X]

C'mon man, we all need another radio!

This Radio is super expensive.. 580+80+60= $720 wow..

[@bill-2018]

That notch filter shows me nothing. All you're doing there is remove the signal you want to listen to. What's the point in that? I'd be more impressed if there was an interfering signal affecting the one you want and it removes the offending signal. As I would expect a filter to be. I looked at this because I've not heard of this company, but only 5 bands? I'll keep my 5 Watt h/b nine band rig to which I'm now adding 60m. G4GHB

[@AE5X]

I mentioned elsewhere that I'd hoped to do this test during Wednesday"s CWT Sprint when lots of CW signals are on the air: ae5x.blogspot.com/2022/09/penntek-tr-45l-review.html That was not possible this week due to our FL weather...there will be another Wednesday. I did tune around a bit - perhaps you noticed the lack of signals packed together that would have offered a more definitive test?

[@ai5dd]

Excellent! I just watched K4SWL's demo of this. I want to see more of this rig before I get mine :) 72 de AI5DD *edit* just realized you were in flrorida when I heard the FL, take care and I hope you stay safe.

Thanks, we're hunkered down and waiting!
