This is a update video that deals with the new vertical antenna that i have constructed recently, i have since added another ground wire, this time it is buried in the ground and about 30feet or so long and 5inchs under ground. Another update in the works soon as i intend to add another ground wire and beef up the copper wire from the tuner to the vertical antenna.

How to use tools you may already have to make low cost, effective antenna coil clips that are easy to adjust.

In Part 2 I have connected 6 radials to the DX Engineering radial plate under the Hustler 4BTV vertical antenna. I show how to make a solid connection, and demonstrate how to pin the ground radial wires in place. If you want the best performance from a ground mounted vertical antenna, installing an effective ground radial system is essential.

RadioTeletype is by no means a new mode, its been with us for ages – some might even say they are surprised its still in commercial use.

Demonstrating some of the CW features that differ from the Icom 706. I forgot to include the CW pitch adjustment. It It differs from the 706 in that it’s not a linear adjustment. The options are 400, 500, 600, 700 or 800 hz. I like it about 500 and that’s where it’s set in the video. This radio will transmit a very loud rushing air sound when you key the mic in SSB. I was getting reports that my snap on choke helped and engaging the DSP filters seemed to take most of it out. I used a monitor radio the other day and it’s still pretty bad. I’m going to call Yaesu about it because it’s REALLY BAD! I also put a RF choke on the HF feedline into the back of the radio and that didn’t help at all. PS, I was wrong about the CW Auto feature. That controls whether the the key jack is enabled or disabled in SSB or FM modes. Show romanization وأرى أن هذا هو يوم 3tv العربية. مرحبا إلى أي من اخوتي في الشرق الأوسط. انها كل العالم
