1 Year Review Radioddity QT40 AM/FM SSB CB Radio

[@udx-483muddbucket5]

I've said and been told it's hard to find a radio with the quality of transmit and receive for the price and that's true but I'll push it a bit further and say it's hard to find a "factory" out of the box radio with the quality of transmit and receive. Great radios. ✌✌

[@45AMT]

I found a brand new one still in the plastic with a "worn box" for a good deal. I had to get it. Knowing how pleased you've been with this radio for the past year. I just had to have one for myself.

[@MowerJunkie]

That's Awesome! I'm sure you're gonna love it!

[@christophersmith1155]

ghost talker ny202 loves this radio. we need a base station version.

[@daviddillman4412]

The noise reduction circuit in these radios are pretty great. Best out of my bunch I run.

[@MowerJunkie]

I agree, they did a great job with the NRC. Thanks for watching, 73's

[@dougsmyth1226]

I just picked up a qt 40 couple days ago. I'm very impressed

[@F9FCJ429]

Seeing it in action here I had to snag one. It came today. Now to rig up an antenna and do the 2-3 jumper mod. This is going to be fun!

[@MowerJunkie]

Very cool! Enjoy your new radio, 73's

[@Gary958Michigan.]

I also have a qt40 and love it, i have it set up almost exactly like yours.

[@MowerJunkie]

Awesome! Thanks for watching, 73's

[@user-ef3nu1eh7z]

I have been running my galaxy99v2 almost 10 years nothing more than sales set up broke down sent to the tech I known 50+ years opened his shop 1975 and when it came back the past 38 pep is now almost 50 and louder than it ever was it was missing some small circuits one tying the fine and coarse together and the other static suppression on receive it now competes for quality with the grant lt I have for back up my flat side is going bad shows swr climbing almost 2/1 time to lower and clean it up or just not use

[@OldSgtsMaj52]

In with the #30 👍 and as usual about an hour late. I do enjoy the Mower Junkie You Tube Videos.

[@MowerJunkie]

Thanks for watching, Enjoy the weekend, 73's

[@foxman362]

Nice radio.

[@The_Heartless_Empath]

Is the clarifier similar to delta tune on a traditional am cb?

[@seanflynn6451]

Hi Mower ☆ J, yes thus is what I will get in about a month. The ones coming out now are same? Can do that mod right?😅

[@MowerJunkie]

Yes, this is the current model. Enjoy the hobby, 73's

[@seanflynn6451]

@MowerJunkie I hVe a TRC-457 with Siro 27 on roof and couple other AM radios A RCA model n trc-419

[@williamlane5515]

Do all the weather channel bank frequencies have to be in 2 meter?

[@stevewhite3168]

Are you set to 500 on your clarifier ?

[@foxman362]

Is that radio you talk skip to me back few days ago on ch38.

[@MowerJunkie]

yes, this is the radio I talked to you with. Take care Foxman, 73's

[@JCCB11360]

Thanks for the information, one question, can this radio transmit on the 11 meter band?

[@MowerJunkie]

Yes, after the channel mod has been done.

[@27mhz47]

Wish Anytone would make the case the size of the board so it isn’t so deep.

[@michaelltnv6741]

Mine is not at all 40w or even close. Fm is 25w am 14w ssb 22w . I've had mine for 8 months . I can't receive on am which surprised me. Helen at Radioddity offer to replace it. Im beginning to think i should after seeing your update. I am a manly a ssb user. I dont have another radio yet to replace as a backup. I wonder if i do a full reboot or factory reset. Hmm, please, can anyone give ne any advice?

[@MowerJunkie]

are you sure your antenna and coax are working properly?

[@michaelltnv6741]

@MowerJunkie yes I've checked all that setup in the beginning of the issue. I have never got the wattage out put you have had. I've been really happy with this radio. It wasn't an issue until I got an am/fm radio for my son. That's when I found this issue.

[@agoraphobicadam1171]

I see a lot of people moving the jumper inside the radio So Do I still need to do that or just use the program cable?

[@MowerJunkie]

this radio has to have the internal mod done, in order to use it as a CB.

[@dave241983]

Hi just wondering when U first turn on your qt40 does yours take like about 2 Mabey 3 seconds to turn on coz mine does if so is that normal for this radio thanks

[@MowerJunkie]

Yes, That little delay is normal.

[@dave241983]

@MowerJunkie ok no worries thanks just wasn't sure that's all

[@MowerJunkie]

@@dave241983 the Stryker 955 does it too.

[@dave241983]

@MowerJunkie yeah I'm loving the radio very good radio love watching alot of your antenna videos to I'm thinking about building that direct feed 3 element Yagi U made to

[@jeffreyporras3839]

Is that better then HR 2510? Which I’ve been working with since about 1990 and I use a white tornado 225 amp. Sorry I can’t program the HR 2510 on the computer.

[@johnlogan3451]

[@williamdarico2369]

[@MowerJunkie]

Thanks for the contact 55, I'll be back on 31 in a few min, to try an old Realistic 465. 11 meter repeater has a live steam going in NY, so I'll get to hear how it sounds. 73's

[@TheGmr140]

What better qt40 or qt60? 😊😊

[@MowerJunkie]

They're both great radios, I suggest getting both!

[@stevevictor1586]

[@cariboooutlaw4852]

[@robertbailey2342]

[@MowerJunkie]

I like the QT60 (5555 n2) more than this radio, But this one is a close 2nd. Thanks for watching, 73's
