Basic side by side RX comparisons between a Yaesu FT-897D and new Kenwood TS-590S.

Of course, it goes without saying that this isnt the best method to do mobile HF without permanently securing the radio. The radio is being held in place by rubber grip pad. However, since I do much traveling in rental vehicles, this is the risk I take to enjoy mobile HF. But am mindful of the laws of inertia if I slam the breaks! Thank you Mr. Newton.
Myself and friends were experimenting QRP in Sussex when we had a nice suprise on 5 watts.
Quick video of my backpacking gear im hoping to test out soon.

The Yaesu FT-450 is an exceptional transceiver for portable low-power work when using battery power. The radio was being powered by a 12 volt, 33 Ah battery. The antenna used was a 40 meter dipole hoisted up about 15 feet on a painter’s pole.

Modification of an Alinco DR-635 dual band radio (144/440Mgz) to expanded transmit capability (MARS/CAP) 137Mgz-175Mgz, 420Mgz-480Mgz range. Their are many other dual band radios with the same capabilities and more, this one is just one I stuck with as a simple, easy to use, no frills mobile radio. There are many other radio bands to use, this is a small slice I like to use because of its proximity to Fire/Law/EMS/Govt frequencies for monitoring. It’s close to FRS, MURS, and GMRS frequencies as well. Nothing wrong with our CB and longer wavelength cousins, antenna construction and size limitation gets a little challenging when you are trying to be discreet in those bands. Don’t want to spend the money either.

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
My HF mobile station in my works van. HF radio is a Yaesu FT857D, VHF/UHF is a Yaesu FT8900 with a Mydel Handsfree mic. Antennas are; HF.Sandpiper-20 for 14mhz, (Yaesu ATAS-120A on special occasions) VHF/UHF; Ex pmr 5/8 wave for 2 mtrs and 6 mtrs and am Ex Pmr 1/4 wave for 70cms. Best 73s. Ian G0YAP
First test with Arduino tuner. The Lock button on FT817 is used to tune the capacitor. On 20 and 40 meters (actually) there is a fast tuning function. On different frequencies all the capacitors course are analyzed to find better SWR. Arduino is used to drive the servo,read frequency,swr and lock command from FT817 and set FM mode for tuning.At the end of tuning procedure Arduino set again LSB or USB depending the frequency. Based on Alain De Carolis project (alain.it)
This is a new Palstar AT2K tuner that I purchased, and I hope for it to be the last antenna tuner I ever buy. So far it’s living up to that reputation flawlessly. The construction is top notch, the level of attention to detail that Palstar has put into this tuner is stellar, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tuner to anybody, even with the most demanding antenna tuner needs.
VX7-R not long since arrived at my QTH and I’ve been very impressed so far. 6/2/70 transmit and wideband receive. 73s Jon

A quick review of my Yaesu 270 (I have no idea if I am pronouncing it right) ham radio. Its a 2 meter band radio so it has limited capabilities, but I think it’ll suit my purposes.
This is my “ham station in a bag”. It’s the Yaesu FT-817ND and everything I need to get on the air whether in the shack, mobile, portable in a park or backpacking. 73-W8AQ
