00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.679
Thank you for choosing to download the
Ham Radio two point zero audio podcast rip.

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.320
This is the audio taken out of
a video or a livestream I did

3
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.240
recently. You can catch all my
videos on YouTube Ham Radio two point zero

4
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.399
and catch us live every Sunday night
at seven pm Central Standard Time for a

5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.519
different topic each week. Thank you
for the support, and thank you for

6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:33.920
being a member of the community.
In Tellotron is a brand new line of

7
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:40.159
items. It's gonna be a very
robust and very large number of items from

8
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:46.679
Gigabarts. They are commonly used items
made for the budget Ham radio operator in

9
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.359
mind. We're going to take a
look at a few of them today.

10
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.719
Huge shout out to Gigabarts. They
sent me a box of these things.

11
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.200
I'm gonna show these two you here
in a second, but always remember you

12
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.880
can save a five percent discount on
everything in Tellotron with the coupon code of

13
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.560
KC five HWB. They're being added
to my page by five percent off page

14
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.640
that is on the Gigapart's website.
Link to that will be in the description

15
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.439
below. When I was at their
grand opening in March of twenty twenty four,

16
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.799
they told me they had sixty new
skews, so new items basically to

17
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.959
add to their Intellotron line. Those
are not on the website at the time

18
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.599
of this recording, but you can
rest assured that you're going to see more

19
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.040
and more videos about the intellotron products
from Gigabarts as time goes on. So

20
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.799
if I pull up their website here, you can see right here that they

21
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.200
have I don't know, two two, three, maybe twenty or twenty or

22
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:40.879
thirty items in the stockpile right now. We've got SWR and power meters.

23
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.840
We've got the Nixy clock that's always
fun. We've got some lightning arrests.

24
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.480
This stainless steel whip is pretty cool. I've got that. We've got a

25
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.799
dummy load, a speaker, and
a few other things. So just remember

26
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.519
it. Like if I go over
here to my page, here's my page

27
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.519
on the Gigapart's website here, and
since they were added last after all this

28
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.640
other stuff, they're gonna be on
the back of the last page. So

29
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.680
there you go. Right there,
there's all the Intelletron stuff on my page.

30
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.400
Where you can save a five percent
discount with the coupon code of KC

31
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.319
five HWB. So let's take some
stuff out of the box. Here.

32
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.800
They sent me a whole box of
this stuff, and I just wanted to

33
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.599
take the time to show it to
you guys. So that's always pretty cool.

34
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.360
Right there, Ham Radio clocks.
This is a twenty four hour clock

35
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.800
right here. You can see twelve
o'clock is down here at the bottom,

36
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.919
twenty four is up at the top. It's got the numbers fifteen twenty twenty

37
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.840
five minutes after the hour. It
says Maiden China right there. I think

38
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.400
I'd probably put one of my Ham
Radio two point oho stickers over that.

39
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.800
But you know, here's another clock, extra large digital led clock. These

40
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.280
are cool. So if you've got
different areas where to hang a clock in

41
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.199
your shack, your home, then
this one will tell you the Monday,

42
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.719
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday through there on the side,

43
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:52.960
all the way through Sunday. The
temperature outside that right there is I'm not

44
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.120
sure what that Oh month and day
okay, MD, I'm thinking, I'm

45
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.120
thinking minute and what is it?
What's d I was like, oh,

46
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.240
month and day, July twenty seventh. There, obviously that's the time.

47
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.000
That's the temperature outside lots of cool
stuff on that clock there. This is

48
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:12.800
cool because these are very similar to
the MFJ speaker that I have probably five

49
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.800
of those MFJ speakers in my truck
for the various radios in my truck.

50
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.080
So this one I'm looking very forward
to using. I'm gonna mount this in

51
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.759
my truck and see if there's any
difference between it and the four or five

52
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.719
MFJ speakers I have in truck.
But these are some of the greatest mobile

53
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.560
speakers. Assuming that this is like
the MFJ, I'll put it that way

54
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.879
prefaces, because I haven't hooked this
up yet. The MFJ speakers are some

55
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.039
of the greatest mobile speakers out there
because they sound like the bigger Motorola speakers,

56
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.759
but they're smaller. But they don't
sound as cruddy as those big mouth

57
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.639
speakers. Those little big mouth speakers
that you buy at truck stops. Those

58
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:46.800
sound like crap. They don't have
any lower end on them at all.

59
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.120
They're all treble and no base,
and they just kind of sound like crud.

60
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.680
These sound really good. Here is
the WM one thousand D digital SWR

61
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:59.639
and power meter. It looks like
that. That's very similar to the MFJ

62
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.560
meter that I have in so many
of my videos where I'm doing power tests

63
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.080
on hts and mobile radios. This
is another one here, one O one

64
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.520
O D, ten ten D.
This is the one thousand and one D

65
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.560
the ten ten D. I mean
they look the same on the outside.

66
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.199
Well, they look the same on
the outside. Both of them do HF

67
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.720
on one point six to sixty mega
hurts and then one one hundred and twenty

68
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.720
five to five hundred and twenty five
megahertz frequency range on both of those the

69
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.519
same, both with a two year
warranty. The screens look the same on

70
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.079
them. I can't tell what the
difference is on that. I don't have

71
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:38.279
any idea. I guess I could
open them front. So there's the back

72
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:45.839
of the one thousand and one looks
the same to me. Okay, this

73
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.959
one has a The one thousand and
one has a switch. This one doesn't

74
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.439
have a switch. So this one, I assume you have a switch that

75
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.720
turns the light off and on.
Because this is a twelve DC here,

76
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.560
it comes with a power cable I've
got very similar to my MFJ meter.

77
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.399
I've got that hooked up to power
poles it's just direct to W O volt.

78
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.720
Nothing special in that power cable there. So I guess this one you

79
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.759
can turn it off and on,
and this one is just on all the

80
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.920
time. As soon as you plug
it up, it turns on. And

81
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.680
the one that has the switch,
the one thousand one the lower number for

82
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.199
whatever reason, because you would think
that's the older one, but I guess

83
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.120
not one thousand and one one zero
zero one. That's the one with the

84
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:24.439
switch. And then the ten ten
D this one over here on the left,

85
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.360
that's the one that does not have
the switch. Okay, these manuals

86
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.480
that look like they're the same because
they list the one thousand and one D,

87
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.480
the one thousand and five D,
and the one thousand or the ten

88
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.319
ten D, So the manuals are
the same in each of those. All

89
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:40.360
right, So these probably at least
one of these is going to go in

90
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.519
a mystery box because I don't need
it, because I've got very similar to

91
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.560
the MFJA meter, and I've already
got one of those, so I don't

92
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.160
need two more of these. Here
is a one thousand and two to a

93
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:53.240
what meter? Now, this is
similar to my older MFJ meter that I

94
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.879
had and I still have that,
although I haven't used it in a long

95
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.399
long time because it's an analog dial
rather than a digital dial. But if

96
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.720
you like that better, nothing wrong
with that. It's got three power level

97
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.600
settings on it right there, it's
got a forward to reverse, an SWR

98
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.240
set, and an SWR so a
little bit more functionality on that one right

99
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.000
there. That's the one thousand and
two Alpha. Okay, here's the one

100
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:16.480
thousand and five D, so they
gave me one of each. One.

101
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.759
Power is twelve hundred watts on this
one, and it is it looks like

102
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.319
it's HF only. Yeah, it
looks like it's HF only. Frequency is

103
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.199
one point six to sixty megahurtz.
It doesn't include the one twenty five to

104
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.279
five twenty five megahurts that the other
ones did. And it handles a larger

105
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.519
amount of power twelve hundred watts this
other one. Right here's the one thousand

106
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:40.439
and one, and here's the ten
ten, and these each handle two hundred

107
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.639
watts, and then this one had
handles twelve hundred wats. So this is

108
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.279
the bad boy, obviously. If
you want to test out your kPa five

109
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:53.120
hundred or your Ameritron eight hundred one
thousand wat amplifier on HF that's the one

110
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.199
to have. Here's the add another
clock, this one large digital led clock

111
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.879
with remote. Okay, then,
so this one's got a little more on

112
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.920
it. It tells you the month, date, the day like Thursday says

113
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.120
Thursday, the temperature outside. It's
a different configuration. Actually, I guess

114
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.720
that's the same amount of information on
the screen there, but it's more rectangular

115
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.160
than it is long and skinny,
so or more square than long and skinny

116
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:15.759
rectangular. So there you go right
there. And this one has a remote.

117
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.000
I don't know what you would use
the remote for. Maybe it has

118
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.079
a timer on it or an alarm
clock of some sort. Here's a big

119
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:26.160
clock right here in tell Atron.
This is the They have a number c

120
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.319
K for clock. I guess zero, one, five to three. This

121
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.639
one's larger in size than that first
one we looked at. Here's the first

122
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.879
one we looked at, so you
can see how much larger that is.

123
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.879
I think I like this one better, really. I mean, you know,

124
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:40.879
if you're gonna hang it high up
on the wall and put it in

125
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.800
a room, that's a larger room
that you're gonna see it from farther away

126
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.360
than one. That's pretty cool.
I guess this one is radio controlled,

127
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:54.480
so all it needs is power and
it'll set itself by radio signal. So

128
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.360
you've got two options for analog looking
clocks. There. These are the last

129
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.879
four items in the box they sent. We've got a lightning arrestor for fifty

130
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:07.240
ohms right here. This is the
LA eleven oh one and Peden's's fifty omes.

131
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.279
Frequency range is DC to one thousand
megahertz. Discharge voltage is one thousand

132
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.560
volt direct current. That one right
there, and then this one here is

133
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.360
the eleven oh five. It is
I don't know. It looks about the

134
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.240
same. You can't really tell what
the difference between eleven oh one and eleven

135
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.600
oh five is at first glance.
See if we can open that ups that

136
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.040
eleven oh one eleven oh five,
Both of them are oh okay, there

137
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.120
we go, so it doesn't say
it on the outside. So the eleven

138
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.519
on one is rated for four hundred
watts pep and the eleven oh five is

139
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.879
rated for fifteen hundred watts pep right
there, So the different ratings for different

140
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.360
different type of arrestors. If all
you're using is like your one hundred two

141
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.519
hundred watt radio no amplifier, then
the eleven oh one would be plenty for

142
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.799
you. Or if you're running multiple
HF rigs one and one hundred wats and

143
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.360
one with an amplifier, you can
use one of each. There you go,

144
00:08:54.639 --> 00:09:01.080
there's a duplexer there. Five hundred
watts on one point thirty five mega

145
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.840
hurts, three hundred watts on fifty
to five hundred and forty mega hurts,

146
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.519
so two thirty nine connections. So
this would be great if you wanted to

147
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:13.080
hook two radios into one antenna,
if you had, say, hey,

148
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.200
well, on this side right here, it goes from one hundred and sixty

149
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.919
meters one point eight megahurts up to
two twenty five megaherts, and then this

150
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.360
one is basically just UHF for you
and I just be UHF. So if

151
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:28.159
you had to say a UHF only
radio and or a two twenty radio,

152
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.679
and you wanted to put them on
the same antenna something like that, you

153
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.279
could use it that way. I've
got to some of your older radios that

154
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.840
were modular might have different boards inside
of them for different bands, so you

155
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.799
can use that to go to one
intenna as well, so those have been

156
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.919
around a while. I do have
one of those on my FT eight forty

157
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.000
seven yazuo. It's not the Intelletron
brand obviously, but I do have a

158
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.159
duplexer on that. And the last
thing is the dummy load, the DL

159
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.600
fifteen oh one. This thing is
great DC to five hundred megahertz sot'll handle

160
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.519
all the way through for forty fifteen
watt average one thousand or one hundred watt

161
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.519
peak. This is great if you
want to run, if you want to

162
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.000
do some testing, some power testing
on the back of your SWR or back

163
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.480
of your power meter, but you
don't want to hook the power meter to

164
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.000
like an external antenna or some other
kind of intenna in your hamshack. This

165
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.799
is great for that. It's got
a SO two thirty nine connector on it

166
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.840
right there, so good for doing
power testing of radios and whatnot in the

167
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:28.679
hamshack. So that's the current line. That's the current line of Intellotron stuff.

168
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.639
Those were the first scues. Like
I said, they have sixty more

169
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.559
skews. I know, they have
hamsticks, they have mag mounts, they

170
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.120
have few other antennas. They actually
did send me that seventeen foot stainless steel

171
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.000
whip, very similar to the MFJ, the Chameleon antenna, and the Alpha

172
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.120
Antenna's whip so far the best one
out of all four of those that i've

173
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.039
I haven't tested the Atellidron one yet, but out of MFJ, Chameleon and

174
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.799
Alpha Antenna's, I like the Alpha
Intenna's one the best. It's also a

175
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.679
little bit longer. It's like nineteen
feet instead of seventeen feet. I think

176
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.600
nineteen or twenty one feet in stead
of seventeen feet something like that. But

177
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.919
in Teletron's a really cool line of
products, like I said they were on.

178
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.399
Steve was on the ham Radio Happy
Hour a couple months ago and he's

179
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.799
like, Teletron is tools needed for
the average ham radio operator that don't break

180
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.200
the bank. So they're like a
they're like a budget friendly version of different

181
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.000
hamm radio tools, options, meters, all kinds of good stuff. Keep
