Damien great demo. I have been out of the hobby now for nearly 30 years and recently retired after as many years working in the RF industry. Just got my license validated and have been trying to get my old FT80c back into life to get back on the air. However I keep seeing these and think this is going to be my easiest route and think I will buy one now after watching this. 73s G7EWL

Thank you for your kind comments. Just remember this a QRP device but still great fun and welcome back to the hobby 👍🏻

[@shanehogarth6373]

@@gorby928ify Yeah sure. Actually qrp was always my thing back in the day. I designed and built, and still have several VHF and UHF transvertors and worked as far as YU on less than one watt on 70cm during Sporadic E and even have the qsl card to prove. Cheers, enjoy.

Got you Roy. Good video.....

It is fantastic what the designers (PE1NNZ and DL2MAN) of this amazing radio were able to do with an inexpensive ATmega328 microcontroller (used in the Arduino Uno/Nano) which cost $2.50. It is functioning as a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for a true Software Defined Radio (SDR). Brilliant engineering!

Have you tried the new software now with spectrum scope ??? You lose AM and FM but got the scope 👍🇬🇧

[@gorby928ify]

No I havent tried that yet but I have seen some videos on it.

@@gorby928ify I have 2 of them, I will try it on one of them. 👎

[@av3510]

I just got one of these meself. What type of antenna are you using?

[@gorby928ify]

I use a 49:1 EFHW at about 66foot long which gives me 40,20,15 and 10m with out the need for a tuner 👍🏻

Very nice video and I love to see the (tr)uSDX transceiver videos! 👍📻⚡️ Is the intermittent on-and-off tone during QSOs being produced by the receiver? Thanks! Tom - WA7FLY

[@gorby928ify]

Hi thanks for your comments from memory i think the intermittent noise was local noise on the band nothing to do with the tr uSDX.👍

(tr)usSDX microphone sensitivity is not good. You can increase the transmission sensitivity by speaking close to the microphone.

[@R50_J0]

Better to use an external mic with level control.

[@jamesriley9800]

Can I ask what speaker are you using on yours

[@gorby928ify]

My external speaker is a Anker Soundcore Mini £23.99 on Amazon UK 👍🏻
