Allow me to fill in the blanks…. The constant beeping means that the radio is in “clear channel mode” and not encrypted. The other operator was taking about the NATO CTCSS tone that is under the modulation. The dual antenna package is actually from a land to air radio that is obviously on 4m and 2m, the DP I’m led to believe does not mean Dutch police! It actually means Diplomatic Protection and also used by the Dutch Police. The programmer (known as a handbag programmer) and fillgun NOT gun fill (just a field programmer with preset channels and encryption algorithms). The radio is 1.8w into the SMT. I have about 10 of these and getting quite good at repairing them too. BTW the 4m antenna isn’t anywhere near 4m….. it’s much lower down at around 60mhz and will also account for poor transmission

I just purchased one today. I can't wait to get it and put it up at my QTH. Your video helped me to make the decision. 73,N1XXU

Morning from Sévres thanks for this vidéo, i have discover the systeme Lora this morning in qso in the RI49 ( répeteur linked via internet) the intérest is the low power and transmit data.

厉害👍

Now that’s th’ life!

I am not a CW operator any box will decode good hand morse but not so well send or noisy hand morse can be read by the human ear but not a machine.

I have always enjoyed the mix of Radio cooking and camping !!! Your doing a great job

I really enjoy the content of your channel, I'm ham radio operator also and loving all the activities you do and getting ideas for myself. 73

Thanks for the video

Another great video, many thanks!! Robert K5TPC

Very important always check your SWR and your antenna you don’t want to screw up your expensive 705

Hi Carl, any idea where can I get one tent like that? PU2WYM

Nice radio and video, many thanks!! Robert K5TPC

Fun video, many thanks!! Robert K5TPC

Thanks Carl.. LOVE my 7200 Great Rig!! 73..

My local friend is using RM noise. 73 de Jon, VU2JO

A friend (now SK) and I put up an "above the ground" 300m loop once. On top of a mountain. It was E-P-I-C!

I just purchased one used last week. Had to send off my IC-7300 for repair after a rainstorm took it out. Had to use the 705 for backup on ssb and data. Decided on getting a 706 for a backup/portable go kit radio. Once I get it here at the QTH, I plan on running it for a while and getting the TX Audio set up. Then, get an external sound card for data.

Carl, l been thinking about getting into QO-100 as I have a IC-9700 is it expensive to set up? may I ask what the ball park figure is? 73 Phil G0BVD

I am just setting up my MMX Triband Transceiver. I haven't had much luck yet on 40 and 20 meters, as there seems to be a great deal of traffic/interference on those bands. I can hear the CQ call clearly on some frequencies, but the rig is not decoding accurately. I see line after line after line of gibberish, and then a line or two of something correctly decoded, and then back to gibberish.

Not impressed with this Co. Got rand new 503hd, right out the box will not work on ssb! An rm itialy doesn't answer my emails for warranty. Might want to do some research first. Whis I had

CHEERS Mate🎉 Greetings from Singapore🎉. Thankyou for openingvup-You not alone, Im going thru a similar " Flat spot" suddenly! I Just completed my FCC EXTRA recently, as a begineer, bought a FT-991A etc. Dont understand the flat spot..probably responsibilities with work, family, lack of sleep..So Not to worry GO FOR A MID JOG Pump 02 into the lungs & brains. it'll pass, just give extra space to do other stuff, I went into Action Figure remodelling. CHILL out some, absence makes the ❤ grow fonder, enjoy the gigs, Cheers & Beers. 9V1KM KK7QGL Singapore Il DX sometime in the near future🎉😊🎉

Love the Motorola lowband kit 20kc spacing stuff Unfortunately it's USA only band 29.7-36.00mhz , obviously converted to 10m FM uses. Pair of those on Simplex should go far on VHF lowband FM-Mid. Loved the video 👍

Carl, very happy to see you back, enjoyed your video, and thank you for your update. I can see that your companion also is very happy that your are back. Also Carl, I agree with you, I really do enjoy your mixture of ham radio, camping, and cooking, and I would even enjoy you adding some music for the ambience, some great things to look forward too. Thank you for sharing.

Nice video Carl! Discovery looking good!

Hi Carl. It is your channel what you do is give knowledge. You show that you do not always make a contact but the fun is keep trying and you will succeed. I love the cooking as it is a part of being outdoors and portable. So keep doing videos when you feel like it we will still be here. 73 MM7DWQ.

So pleased to see you back. I have missed your videos. Look after yourself.

I think a lot of people who first get into Amateur Radio buy the 817 dreaming of taking it for outdoor activation. However, most of us rarely ever do. So we just have other radio to use at home so sells it. Then as years go by, we miss the little guy, and then we come to realization that we really don't need fancy radios with all the bells and whistles to have fun with spontaneous activations. This is where the 817ND comes in. It does all for most situations. It even does 2m/440 and works well as a general receiver. Now here's the best part. Forget about SSB and CW narrow band mechanical filter. Just add the BHI DSP and you'll see this radio come alive. Not kidding, I will never get rid my little radio that can.

Carl, my interest in radio seems to wax and wane as well. I just go with it; I have other hobbies that fill the void whenever radio loses its luster for a bit. I enjoy your channel and watching your adventures, but please don’t make videos out of some feeling of obligation. I’ll tune in whether you make one per day or one per year! 73! Jim KE8WC

Those Motorola Saber radios were very popular with armatures here in the states about 10 years ago. Most of the authorities police, fire, EMS were starting there switch to digital and the used market was flooded with these things. And some of the higher models like the Astro Saber still demanded a pretty good price . Around $500 US. There still out there, but not as easy to find. But still a great preforming radio and way better than 99% of the stuff you can buy today... Batteries are getting to almost unobtainum status as I know of only one manufacturer still producing them at least here in the states. W&W Battery..... And there located somewhere in Florida. They manufacture all kind of hard to find batteries. Just in case your interested.

Good to see you back Carl.. I was starting to get a bit worried about you, and was going to contact the DX Commander to see if you were ok! Nothing wrong with putting radio on the side burner for a while and turning your interests elsewhere. We all need a break even with the best things in our lives. Playing music and doing gigs is a most excellent way of using ones time and talent productively. As for the channel... Do what you want, as you said “ It’s my channel”. Camping, Cooking, Music, Radio I like them all! So whatever you decide to do will be perfectly fine by me.

Great to see a new video from you - just a few days ago I'd wondered if I'd been unsubscribed from your channel because you'd gone quiet, so I came and had a look, and saw you hadn't uploaded anything in a while. As others have said though, you should feel no pressure to record or upload anything whatsoever mate. Just live your life, and if YOU want to share something then please yourself. Anyone that wants to watch it will watch it, and anyone that wants to moan will moan! All the best :) M7TYN

After passing my full licence I didn't touch a radio for about two months, it was a long range QSO with my twin brother in Canada that got me out of my funk, that and swapping out my antenna for a half sized G5RV which changed my DX options. A new rig is usually not the answer; this is a modern dilemma wherein more focus is placed on consumption rather than experimentation. In the early days of amateur radio they didn't have the luxury of eBay etc, if you couldn't build it yourself then you missed out. Personally I am planning on spending more time on homebrewing in 2024/2025. Keep up the excellent content when you can Carl! 73 DE M0KKZ

Hi Carl. Good to see you back on the air. I know you have been busy with the gigs. How's was it to get back into them? Good to see some old gear being used. We are all snobs one way or another. I tried BOTA but didn't post it so made no contacts. Yeah get back into the radio and cooking. It's your channel and you do what you want mate. Give us a shout if ever over my way. How's the cobweb going? Been looking at them myself. 73

Nice to see you out and about again, we have had a long winter here in Finland , my area was with snow from the end of October to about 2 weeks ago , got back into scanning radio, ski clubs and ski resorts very active , digital and normal PMR radio. 56CTOO4

It certainly has been a while. You had me worried. Good to see you back 👍🏻

Does the FT-897 not have a notch filter? That tone would all but disappear with a nice deep notch.

You are not doing RUclips to earn money as a job so go and do your music radio will still be there when you want to come back it

Good to see you back. Interesting radios, I have never used 10m, perhaps I should try. I enjoy the videos, camping, cooking and all. Thanks for taking the time, appreciated.

Have a few of the VHF SABER III radios with full keypad and a pair of the SVA adapters with the full feature microphones. Only issues are finding g batteries for these fine radios. Also the control knobs have suffered from a dry rot where the outer portion ok the knobs have turned to dust. Too bad the big /\/\ no longer stocks parts for these radios. Not much activity on 2 meters here in SV9 land so they are shelf queens at this time. BTW, programming the Saber radios requires the use of DOS on a very slow XT PC. Anything faster than that will turn the radios into useless bricks which would require LAB software which is not available to the general public. In the past there were individuals who had bootleg copies of this stuff but they have become SK. 73!

I could provide a 2 of the MT 1000 radios a home here in rural Oklahoma.

Good you are back do what you like and please your self not the moaners. I wish i had kept my PMR radios and would love a military radio at some point. 🙂👍👍👌

Good to see you back Carl, that minion cracked me up and your little Doggo is super cute 🙂👍

Good to see you back, Carl :)

Good to see you're doing well. Don't keep putting out content just to feed the algorithm, just have fun.

Good to see you back Carl and i see where you’re coming from regarding running a channel, it’s yours so just do as you please, Radio, synth and a bit of cooking, why not.

Good to see you back Carl 145 Alive event 11th May 13:00 15:00, 10 been flat but still managed a few contacts.

I had horrible swr with my cb radio checking it while parked next to a metal barn 3 5. Ran same setup in open area with 1.2 . Lots of fun. Thanks for the videos.
