6
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:36.759
for being a member of the community. One two, Here we go just

7
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:42.600
like that and transition there. Okay, good evening, Thanks for joining us.

8
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.119
Tonight, guys, it's another Sunday
night, and I hope everyone had

9
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:51.079
a really good Thanksgiving last weekend.
And tonight we're gonna be talking about some

10
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.679
about more about this radio here.
Now, I've already done a video about

11
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.920
this radio, and if you haven't
seen that, go back and look at

12
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.359
it. But it got quite a
few views, so you've probably see not

13
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.359
already. We're gonna do some testing
on it tonight. But there's a couple

14
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.640
of quirks with it that I just
learned like half hour ago, and uh

15
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.599
so we're gonna test the HF side
of it, and I'll explain that here

16
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.159
in a minute. A couple of
quick things. I'm gonna go a little

17
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.000
bit faster tonight than normal because we've
got another live stream upcoming. So the

18
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.200
first thing I'll talk about, excuse
me, is the that the uh,

19
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.599
the Gigaparts Explorer box is still on
sale for twenty bucks off and you can

20
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.200
get five percent discount case five HWB. That's still going. I can't remember

21
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.840
if they said they were gonna last
that until the end of the year or

22
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.599
the end of the month, And
obviously it's it's the third of the month

23
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.000
now, so they didn't end it
in November, and I'm thinking that it's

24
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.200
maybe last through like Christmas and New
Year's but I don't know so, and

25
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.599
I don't know how much stock they
have, how much inventory they have.

26
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.680
They might roll the price back up
once the inventory has gone. But you

27
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.719
can save twenty five dollars now with
the twenty percent or twenty dollars discount and

28
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.159
the five percent off, So go
check that out. Immediately following this stream,

29
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.400
we're gonna do our monthly live stream
on Unplugged Channel. I've got Hank

30
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:07.400
Strange coming on and we're gonna talk
about vans, the van aspect of RV's

31
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:13.759
vans for overlanding and a possible van
build that I would like to do and

32
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.319
i'm considering I'm thinking about doing,
but I haven't. I'm still doing my

33
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.599
research on it. So that's we're
gonna be talking about that here in about

34
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.560
an hour. I've got it scheduled
for eight fifteen to start at eight fifteen.

35
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.599
We'll actually start it somewhere between eight
and eight fifteen. We'll end this

36
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.719
one right at eight and I got
to reset all my settings and then we'll

37
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.919
go live over there. So check
that out. Check that out here if

38
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.560
you can, and then uh yeah, okay, that's pretty much it there,

39
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.919
so I want to do. I
do want to give a shout out

40
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.319

Oh? Man? You know what,

53
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:37.000
it's actually kind of warm in the
shock tonight this year seventy three degrees outside

54
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.240
according to my phone earlier, and
I'm like, what is that about,

55
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.840
Like, give me a break.
So December and it gets up to seventy

56
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:50.439
degrees so I don't know. Uh
yeah, so so that's what we're gonna

57
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.800
do. So yeah, so this
uh so, I hit up eight this

58
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.680
morning and I'm like, dude,
I kind of decided this at the last

59
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.960
minute. Would you like to come
on and help me kind of go through

60
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.800
this on the on the tiny essa
And he was gracious enough to join me.

61
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.080
So, you guys, thank him
because he it was the very last

62
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.960
minute for him. But uh yeah, so I appreciate you being here.

63
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.680
Ape, no no words, So
sorry, sorry about the mix up with

64
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.480
the dates. That's all right,
that's that's that's not problem. It's all

65
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:20.639
good. We got it worked out. So so this guy right here and

66
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.480
we're gonna set this is the Ultra, and I did, oh, it's

67
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.800
underneath here. So my Ultra came
in a smaller box than the This is

68
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.120
the tiny Essa and this is the
Tiny Essay Ultra. Now that's that one's

69
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.680
a taller box this way. But
uh anyway, so that's the that's the

70
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:41.439
original tiny Essay I've got and it
is. Here's the difference in size.

71
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.959
Because ape was on the live stream
what about a month ago, yeah,

72
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.399
I think. So we did some
some testing of a fang and a Yazoo

73
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.000
radio with that, so that's the
difference in size there. So we did

74
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.240
that video and one of the guys
on Amazon reached out to me. He's

75
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.160
like, I'm gonna send you an
Ultra like okay, so yeah. The

76
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.800
thing about the Ultras is is that
there are no known clone ones out there,

77
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.439
so there are of the smaller one. The Chinese haven't caught up with

78
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.319
the Altra yet. Okay, that's
good to know. Okay, Yeah,

79
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.680
somebody from Amazon's he was like,
hey, I've got this, can you

80
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.399
share the link? So I'm like, yeah, sure. So the link

81
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.720
you see in the description of this
video to the Tiny essay Ultra on Amazon

82
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.199
is from that company. So that's
what we got. What is the difference

83
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:26.040
between the Ultra and Tiny. The
Tiny goes up to about nine hundred megahertz

84
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.639
that is split between two input ports. So most of the time when you

85
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.000
see folks doing these tests, they're
only testing one harmonic. They're not testing

86
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:38.439
a third, which is usually the
one that is most troublesome. And the

87
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.680
other one is that on the Ultra, if you enable ultra mode, I

88
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.000
think it goes up to five point
one gigahertz. Now it goes super duper

89
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.360
high. I was thinking three point
five, but I don't remember it.

90
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:54.079
It mays the latest firmware boosted even
higher. Wow. Okay, okay,

91
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.839
good. Yes, if you're if
you're in the market to buy one,

92
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.120
you're you're much much better off getting
the getting the Ultra. They're not that

93
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.879
much more, honestly, no,
so yeah, yeah, And Jeff,

94
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.040
Jeff makes a good point here in
the chat. RNL has a great price

95
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.120
on the Ultra. So if you
don't want to buy from Amazon, you

96
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.519
want to buy from a ham radio
retailer. RNL sent me my tiny essay.

97
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.399
But then this this guy, the
Sessi company on that Frank just shared,

98
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.560
they sent me the Ultra. So
yeah, but but yeah, RNL

99
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.079
has a full line of tiny essays, nano vns and all that kind of

100
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.800
good stuff. He does a really
good job of stocking those. Yeah,

101
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.319
and he's one of the preferred sellers
from the Yes from the designer. Now,

102
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.920
I don't know if you say CC
or Sessi or whatever, I don't

103
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.680
know. I've done plenty of work
with them and they have solid products too.

104
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.079
Okay, good, good, all
right, So this guy, so

105
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.600
we're gonna go through the two or
three steps to set this thing up real

106
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.600
quick. This one came with and
maybe my other one did too, and

107
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.839
I just didn't notice it. This
one came with an actual stylus. It

108
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.319
still has the guitar pick looking thing, which I don't really like, but

109
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.360
this one came with an actual stylust. There. It is in the big

110
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.079
camera. There, it is in
the little camera right there. So just

111
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.439
switch over to the big camera.
So this this guy right here, So

112
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.199
that's a lot easier to use in
my book. Yeah, the guitar pick

113
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:10.160
sucks. Yeah, Yeah, I
didn't like that either. All right,

114
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.759
So let's take us through the steps
of about setting this thing up again.

115
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.759
Eight. So you want to connect
the cables like we did before. Use

116
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.839
the cables to connect the two ports
together. That's the first step. And

117
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:26.399
you're going to do this to eventually
tune it. I was, I forgot

118
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.920
who else with They had a tiny
essay, and I was it was interesting

119
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.680
to watch him use it. Do
you have to tune it every time every

120
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.240
time you use it? Or is
this is a first operation procedure. It's

121
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:41.000
a first operation procedure. Now,
if you you affectually reset on it or

122
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:46.279
firmware upgrade, you're gonna need to
You're gonna need to recal Okay, all

123
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.879
right, here we go, got
it, all right? And then so

124
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.079
in the menu you want to go
to config and then under that you'll have

125
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:57.879
self test. Yep, Jeff saying, break out the pomp pile. I

126
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.000
got this white one here. I
don't even know where it came from,

127
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.360
but it's easier to see, you
know what I mean? Like I got

128
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.319
right bad eyes, so the black
one gets lost in the sauce. So

129
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.160
when I'm drawing, I got my
touch. Yeah, magnet side of the

130
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.720
desk where I'll never find it.
That looks like it's with a surface Pro

131
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.600
stylus. This was the surface Pro
three stylists, which for some reason it

132
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.439
stopped working on my stylist now,
so I gotta use my finger. I

133
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.279
lost the one for my Samsung tablet
and then bought another one. They were

134
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.919
forty bucks each, and then I
found found the first one that I lost.

135
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.080
But man, I tell you the
pen the stylist for the iPads is

136
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.919
ninety nine dollars. Oh that's yeah. Wow, that's that's Apple for you.

137
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.080
That's how they get you. Yeah, that's how they get you.

138
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.600
That's true. You stay away from
those fruit products if you want quality.

139
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.320
I don't know what it's doing here, but it looks like it's do you

140
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.399
have a top Town view that we
could Oh never mind, I looked over

141
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.639
and I can see it here.
It's it's on it's on YouTube. Yeah.

142
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.840
I'm used to you feeding back your
video. Yeah yeah, yeah,

143
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:13.600
I'm not doing that right now.
Question from Don here, how long does

144
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:20.200
the battery last on the Tiny essay
or on the radio. Well, the

145
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.720
Tiny Essay I've never had to die
because I just charge it up like most

146
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.919
time I want I use it.
I haven't hooked to the computer anyway,

147
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.240
but yeah, I've never been like, let me turn this on and fire

148
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.519
up the Stopwatch. Not that don
talks like that, but but I've just

149
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.799
I've just never done it. So
that that has a built in battery,

150
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.120
then does it does? Yes?
Yeah, yeah, and it's USBC chargeable.

151
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.919
I plugged both the radio battery and
the tiny essay in a couple hours

152
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.240
ago to make sure everything was charged
up for the stream tonight. But that

153
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.840
tiny Essay after I charge it about
a month ago when when Ape and I

154
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.919
were doing that last video, I
haven't charged it since then, and I

155
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.480
kicked it on today just to see
if it's still fine, and it does.

156
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.799
So it was fine. Yeah,
So but this uh, this screen

157
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.679
here, it doesn't look like it's
it's going through. Oh okay, I'm

158
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.720
sorry, touch screen to continue if
I would read it, I was because

159
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.360
they were all blue turning green,
and then the last one never turned green,

160
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:18.080
so it just okay every day,
So I think we covered that.

161
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:24.120
So now you want to go into
config and then pick level cow and now

162
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:31.720
they'll do the level calibration level cow
okay, and then I should go pretty

163
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.399
quick too. It's got it's giving
me a menu. Calibrate one hundred,

164
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.759
kill hurts to five point three gigahertz, calibrate above or resets. I guess

165
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.000
like I want to do the one
hundred to five point three. Yeah,

166
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.039
which is more than enough. I
mean because when you're talking harmonics, like

167
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.960
on twenty meters for example, if
that's what we're gonna test, right,

168
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.919
you know, they don't they don't
go it's a couple hundred bigs. Yeah,

169
00:10:52.120 --> 00:11:01.279
yeah, yeah, we're not gonna
Okay, says calibration busy. It's

170
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.120
you go pretty quick. I think
I can change you guys to an overhead

171
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:05.879
view. I think, well,
maybe not. I don't know. Hold

172
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:15.080
on, tell me if that's the
overhead yep, okay, all right,

173
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:20.080
now you can see the overhead sure
cool? Yeah, Frank, watch the

174
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.000
uh I got the chat as I
watched the chat. Yeah. If y'all

175
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.120
have any questions, I'll go ahead
and note them, and if they feed

176
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.320
into conversation nicely, I'll do it
then. Or we'll do a lightning ground

177
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.360
at the closer to the end of
the stream and we'll power through all of

178
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.960
them. Yeah, for us,
they overheads upside down. I don't know

179
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.080
if it's like that on the stream, but no, it's probably goofy zoom

180
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.759
doing that stuff. Yeah. Uh
okay, signal level incorrect. Check cable

181
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.639
between connectors and uh touch stream to
continue. So the cable's nice and tight.

182
00:11:54.919 --> 00:12:01.159
Resee them and try it again.
I've got a second cable here,

183
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.399
and I've got the same two cables
that I had with my old one too,

184
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:11.360
so uh, it's in configure and
then it's level cow. Uh yeah,

185
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:18.279
I'm in configure now level cow.
That calibreed. Okay, try it

186
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:24.759
again. If not, I'll change
the cable. That's fine. Uh yeah.

187
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.679
Unfortunately these things don't come with the
best quality cables. Oh yeah,

188
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.919
d E d E two t r
F. I appreciate you. Uh,

189
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.000
I appreciate you thinking I speak German, but I don't, Buddy, I'm

190
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:43.240
sorry, two speak German in there? Well he's speaking German in there.

191
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.200
Yeah, let's translate now. Now
you got me curious. I can.

192
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.600
I can do the Google Translate thing, but I'm kind of in the middle

193
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.240
of something else right now. So
yeah, the problem for me is that

194
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.279
I can speak German, but I
can't read it. Oh oh really okay,

195
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.759
all right, so he says,
uh him two point oh cool video.

196
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.080
I share it like it to seventy
three D D E two t r

197
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:15.399
F Germany. I love USAO M
videos. Nice. Okay, well,

198
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.799
thanks for being here, buddy.
And the bad English is I'm going to

199
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.559
give it to Google. Oh no, that's okay, yeah, Google translates.

200
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:24.399
Google translates, not that. Okay, okay, D E two is

201
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.080
the name named? Gun there?
I believe, so begins gun there.

202
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.320
Okay, calibration complete, touch screen
to continue. All right, we're good

203
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.000
to go. That one's done.
All right, So now we need to

204
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.080
connect the antenna output from how do
you say the name of that radio?

205
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.600
I call it goog oh headache,
but I'm sure that's wrong. The PMR.

206
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.320
Well it's funny because when you said
you were testing the whatever radio PMR,

207
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.600
I was like, isn't it like
the British it is gmrs. Yeah,

208
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.159
yeah, yeah. There's a lot
of people that came on my first

209
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.559
video and said that, and I'm
like, I didn't name the thing,

210
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.039
man, That's just what its model
number is it is. It's kind of

211
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.320
a goofy model number. You want
to connect the antenno of the radio to

212
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.919
to the to the r F side. Yeah, the r S side's while

213
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.279
you're doing that is funny. Other
Andy saying you can order a beer in

214
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.440
German, I can, so like
when I go to when I go to

215
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.120
Disney every year, that's the only
time I get to speak German to the

216
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:24.440
folks at Epcot, and I'm like, you can move dein beer oundenheineretzel because

217
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.720
they have the giant pretzels. So
I get a beer in a pretzel one

218
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.159
on there. There you go.
Nice forty five says now we've got to

219
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.480
translate tank into English. Oh,
I don't know if i'd want to do

220
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.600
that. Okay, So one thing
we're real quick that I noticed right as

221
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.720
I was setting up for the stream, and I should have noticed this before,

222
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.600
but I didn't. So on the
top of this this this this radio

223
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.159
has a intenta port for I think
it goes one to seventy four megga hurtz,

224
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.200
I think is what it is.
Or zero point no, zero point

225
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.679
one to seventy four. That's this
one here it's a B and C connector

226
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.840
this one on the top that goes
seventy to five hundred and twenty megahertz.

227
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.399
Right here, this looks like a
B and C port, but it's got

228
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.240
threads around it, so it's more
like a oh, like a mini uh

229
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.519
It's probably like mini UHF mini UHF. I think, yeah, because it

230
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.399
looks just because from looking at it
from the top down, it looks like

231
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.360
a B and C. So I
tried to put the B and C connector

232
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.000
on it, and it doesn't fit
because because the B and c's are not

233
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.360
threaded obviously, So I think that's
a mini UF port. So I'm have

234
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.759
to get in and I don't have
a mini UHF adapter. So in other

235
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.759
words, we're not gonna be able
to test the VHF UHF output today.

236
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.000
We're just gonna have to stick to
HL I think. I think you're right.

237
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.759
I googled it and it looks like
a mini the thread Okay, well,

238
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.200
see I went into the manual and
that's what I had. I had

239
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.840
this up earlier. Let's see if
I go, no, yeah, right

240
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.440
here, this right here tells me
the output of the radio, and it

241
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.279
just says UV segment Antenna interface frequency
seventy four to five twelve. It didn't

242
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.840
tell me what the connector is.
I could probably dig through the manuals forty

243
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.000
two pages and find it. Maybe, I don't know. Yeah, Don

244
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.039
said it's the same as the Sun
SDR. So I do have the adapters

245
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.000
because I had to get them for
my son sd R. You Miniu h

246
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:19.679
F Yeah, yeah, court or
B and C. What's that is the

247
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.879
the the h F port is B
and C. Yes. Why did she

248
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.679
put two different ones? I don't
know. I thought they wanted to force

249
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.919
force you to acknowledge that there's a
difference. That's probably that's possible. I

250
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.519
mean that that's that's possible. But
uh, yeah, so I had to

251
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:40.240
kind of I had to kind of, yeah, I had to frankenstein that

252
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:42.799
because I didn't have a B and
C to s M a mail or a

253
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.960
B and C mail to s M
a mail. So I had to kind

254
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.720
of frankenstein this here a little bit. Yeah. So I've had a couple

255
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.480
of people ask me to test that
radio out, and I was like,

256
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.159
I'm not spending six hundred bucks on
that radio, right, So I figured,

257
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.879
Jason will send me that one to
test out, and if you want

258
00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.679
to see that, go ahead,
put a one in the chat. Put

259
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:04.039
a look. I would I I
would do that if I wasn't sending this

260
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:10.599
to someone else already, h and
I and I and I'm sending it because

261
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.279
okay, so long story short,
this radio is supposed to do DMR.

262
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.759
It has a if you go into
the menu, if you watch my first

263
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.319
video, it does eleven meters.
They call it C. I think they

264
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.559
call it CB twenty seven megas it
does DMR, and it does, and

265
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.480
it has an APRS feature in there. So I was talking to I was.

266
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.759
The company emailed me after I put
out my first video and they're like,

267
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.519
hey, we loved your video.
What you said you were going to

268
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.599
do some more. What other videos
are you planning to do with it?

269
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:37.640
And I was like, well,
I want to do a DMR and APRS.

270
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.680
I want to do a take it
in the field, do some PODA

271
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.720
with it, and et cetera,
this kind of thing. And they email

272
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.599
back they said, oh, well
you don't have the DMR module installed.

273
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:49.599
And I'm like, well, that's
kind of that's a little bit hokey because

274
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:53.319
it's in the menu, so if
you have, if you have to get

275
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.400
and I said, well, can
you send me the module, I'll install

276
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.200
it. They're like, no,
we don't want to do that, because

277
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.400
it takes quite a bit of soldering. I don't know if if it actually

278
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.519
takes quite a bit of soldering and
they're just trained, or if they're just

279
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.400
like, oh, you just got
to do a pin into here and they

280
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:08.799
don't understand. Now, Ham's work
because I can do a little bit of

281
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:14.119
soldering. Hey, you need to
hear attenuator in line this right here?

282
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.680
Yeah? Yeah. So anyway,
so I said, Okay, that's fine,

283
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.400
I said, I said, how
do I get Can I send this

284
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:22.720
radio back to you to get the
DMO? I said, because I do

285
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.960
a lot of DMR videos. And
they said, uh, go ahead and

286
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.359
tell me eight what's next? Did
that ship from the motherland or it did?

287
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.440
No, you need the you need
the attenuator in line with the antenna

288
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:41.400
output and uh going into the into
the essay. I need it here.

289
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.599
Yeah, yeah, they're or coming
out of the radio. It either one's

290
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.359
fine, Okay, I thought,
I needed the intenuator coming out of the

291
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.640
essay. Okay, it's got to
be on the in the transmission line where

292
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.440
we're going to send a signal,
okay, And then what comes out of

293
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.640
the calibrate side of the essay nothing, nothing, okay, all right,

294
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.640
okay, let me reconfigure this then. So I just remembered it wrong,

295
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.079
I guess. So anyway, so
they said they they wrote back to me.

296
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:08.319
They said, I'll tell you what. We'll send you another one with

297
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.240
a module installed. I said,
okay, and you can just send this

298
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:18.200
one to another place or another I
think they set another partner or something,

299
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:21.400
some kind of weird term like that
right in the United States. And I

300
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:22.160
said, okay, sure, yeah, who do you want me to send

301
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:30.480
it to? And guess who's addressed
they sent me Josh, You're like,

302
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.839
send it. His name is Josh
Nass and here's his dress. I'm like,

303
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.480
holy crap, I've heard of him. Yeah, I've heard of him.

304
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.440
So no, that's not right.
You should have pulled the who's that?

305
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:42.640
Yeah exactly, yeah, who,
I'm not sure you're talking. You

306
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:47.759
might have to use that other cable
coming out of the that Yeah, oh

307
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.000
you know what, that'll make it
longer, even better. So okay,

308
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.839
good, I've got it comes with
a barrel adapter, but I don't need

309
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.319
it, so that's good. Yeah. So I'm gonna send this one to

310
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.279
Josh when I'm done with it.
And I told him I was making this

311
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:02.640
video today where I was told I
told him I was making a second video,

312
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.319
which this, this spectrum analyzer test, is what I wanted to do.

313
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:08.880
And then uh, and then I'm
gonna send this one to Josh,

314
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.559
and they're sending me one with a
DMR module installed. So I'm really looking

315
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.359
forward to trying the DMR side of
it. So I'm assuming that's a q

316
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.319
RP radio. Right, it's twenty, what's okay, Well, we don't

317
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.039
want to set it that high.
Okay, we probably could get away with

318
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.039
ten, but five is probably safest. Okay, is that the right port?

319
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.680
I thought the ports plugged in right
now? It is the tuning signal

320
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.920
generation port. It says r F
right here, okay, and this is

321
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.200
calibrate calibrate right here. Yeah,
you want to be in the RF coort.

322
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.839
Yeah, okay, So let's go
in here and uh yeah, I

323
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:48.720
got it in the AF okay,
so let's go. I gotta figure out

324
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.799
how to do uh turn the power
down? Yeah? See, Okay,

325
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.039
so right here you might not be
able to see that because it might be

326
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.839
a little washed out in the screen. But DMR is the first thing on

327
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:02.160
the top of the min when you
when you long press the menu, get

328
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.880
d m R. And then the
one at the bottom left is a pr

329
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.119
S. Yeah, that's actually pretty
cool that if it could do those right,

330
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.319
and then the one in the middle
is frequency hopping spread spectrum f hs

331
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.480
S. I don't know what it
does with that. So so he gave

332
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.200
you a radio that doesn't have DMR, but it has all the DMR options

333
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.039
selling on the menu, right right, Yeah, I thought that makes sense.

334
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:32.160
I thought that was a little strange
myself. But yes, okay,

335
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:41.160
come on, I don't know where
the power output is. But yeah,

336
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.759
Mike, you you're right. That
does look like it's a the reverse hilarity

337
00:21:45.799 --> 00:22:00.200
looks like it's a female on that
on the radio, okay, mode to

338
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.480
no, no, no, no, not that. So this is supposed

339
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.359
to be the I guess, the
seven o five competitor out of China,

340
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:14.640
right, So I guess, yeah, a little bit, or I'm gonna

341
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:15.920
have to look at the manual to
figure out how to turn the power down

342
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.559
because I have no idea. It's
supposed to be a competitor and it's that

343
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.240
bulky. Well, I don't Mark, I don't really, I don't really

344
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.759
think that's what they're going for.
They're going for more of like the man

345
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.000
pack portable thing. Yeah, because
you would drop that into like a pack

346
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:34.119
that is right, like a bucket
pack yeah yeah, yeah, or like

347
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:41.200
a tech prepper type yeah pack or
something like that. So power, let's

348
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.720
do this, okay, But with
that battery, man, it probably would

349
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:52.960
be able to transmit longer because that's
a hul combatterund back. Because I'm a

350
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.839
g naughty alternative, I can believe
that maybe a G ninety, yeah,

351
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.599
that might be a little bit power
adjustment. Is the p A button?

352
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:08.079
PA is right here? All right, let's get out of that menu.

353
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:15.359
There's buttons look awful close together too. My fat fingers would have problems.

354
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:21.279
Maybe use a stylist to push them
right, Yeah, yeah, they definitely

355
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.519
do that. There's not an exit
button on here either. Digital Dreamer,

356
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:30.079
I don't know, man, My
G ninety is pretty awesome. I think

357
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:32.920
for four hundred bucks, the G
ninety is a pretty pretty good deal.

358
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.400
It's a pretty good Yeah, it's
a great starter radio. But however,

359
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.200
you need to buy it with your
eyes open knowing it's only twenty watts off

360
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:42.359
the back. Yes, but the
other one is if you want to do

361
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.279
any digital modes, getting audio in
and out out of things a little bit

362
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.960
of a pain in behind it.
Okay, I don't know how to get

363
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:55.359
out of the menu. Let's see
reboot, reboot and went in doubt.

364
00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.440
Yeah, okay, Yeah, there's
place in there to put my calls on

365
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.359
you and I haven't done that yet
either, Tim. Does it have TikTok

366
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:08.920
installed? Natively? I wish?
Okay, yeah, okay, so PA

367
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.519
power adjustment. That's this little button
here. It's up at twenty wats now

368
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:15.200
you want it? You wanted at
five eight? Yeah, I do it

369
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.799
at five five. Okay, good, we'll do that, all right,

370
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.920
beautiful, And I need to go
to change and yeah, if you didn't

371
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.680
see my other video, there's a
band button here and one it's on one

372
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:32.200
forty four now, but above one
forty four is CB. That's the one

373
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:33.240
that's highlighted there. I know it's
washed out in the screen. I wonder

374
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:38.240
what the FCC says about that.
I'm not sure. I have not I

375
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:44.079
have not asked them. I don't
understand. Why can't you sell radios that

376
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:48.839
are multi license as long as you
have the license and the rights, Who

377
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.319
cares in my opinion, I do
have a question while you're messing with the

378
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:59.319
radio here, Donna is asking is
the case plastic or metal? It is?

379
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.880
It is metal. It feels like
a like a like a V seventy

380
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:07.920
one or an FtM three hundred type
case type metal. How do you hit

381
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.720
enter for crying out loud? I
thought you hit enter by pushing this button

382
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.720
down, but that's not working.
Menu? Okay, there it is.

383
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:21.240
Okay, there's fourteen three three hundred
or fourteen zero rather, I'm sorry,

384
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:25.759
I'm gonna go to fourteen dot two. Okay, we're at fourteen dot two

385
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.400
right there. If you guys can
see that, yep, and we need

386
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.519
to go to we don't sideband has
no carrier, so we don't want to

387
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.079
do sideband. So what do you
suggest? If it has a ready mode

388
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.480
that will key when you press the
hand mike, that's usually the that's the

389
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.640
way I typically do it. If
not, you could do AM. There's

390
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:53.119
AM, y FM R t U
what that is SDR DMR. Let's okay,

391
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:57.160
let's do the it doesn't go well, it's y FM and okay,

392
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:02.119
we can do FM on twenty meters
go figure. I mean it's only it's

393
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:06.920
only uh five watts, and see
if it doesn't. Yeah, yeah,

394
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:18.559
let's see there's the microphone there.
Transmit disabled. Okay, so no it

395
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:23.240
does not do it. Uh RTU. I wonder what that is. Transmit

396
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:27.640
disable Okay, I don't know.
There's a mode called SDR. I still

397
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:32.559
don't know what that is. Doesn't
make any sense. No, so you

398
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:37.519
get turn on and off the sdrnis
of the radio. I guess am mode

399
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.960
one. It's radio works mode to
the radio doesn't it's still saying transmit disabled

400
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:53.559
on fourteen dot two hundred. What
the hell on am transmit Okay, it's

401
00:26:53.599 --> 00:27:02.640
not liking that at all. Huh. Yeah, I'm really glad I didn't

402
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:07.000
buy one of those. You know, it's it's it's in a lot of

403
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:08.440
a lot of the comments I got
in the original video were hey, cool

404
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:12.119
radio, poor execution, and I'm
like, yeah, yeah, I can

405
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:18.799
it's it's neat, but I mean
it obviously needs a few updates. That's

406
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:23.160
about six hundred bucks right, uh
six and thirty five and eighteen cents.

407
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:27.480
I'm on sale right now, yep, And there you go in Allie Express.

408
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:32.480
Just in case. By the way, the website you linked is sold

409
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:37.880
out. Ah, well, there
you go. That's the transmit is an

410
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:47.119
extra module? Who knew? Who
knew? Oh boy? Okay, so

411
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.039
what can we do here? That's
upper side so you won't even transmit on

412
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:55.839
upper sidebands? Its transmit disabled?
Is it in the right mode? Is

413
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:57.519
it in a CB mode? Since
it has CB on there? Do you

414
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:02.640
have to tell it SEB as a
band not a mode? So yeah,

415
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:03.839
you'd have to go to the SE. Well do you have to tell it

416
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:08.279
to be on the amateur radio bands? Like some of the newer radios.

417
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:12.839
You can buy them and get them
on part ninety seven, but then you

418
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.160
want to use them a part ninety
five, you have to tell it to

419
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:19.279
be on part ninety five, and
then it won't transmit in the amateur bands.

420
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:25.160
Yeah, that's not This thing's pretty
much full open. Let's see,

421
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:27.279
Yeah, i'd imagine it is.
Well, right now, it looks like

422
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.759
full close. You know what I'm
saying, right, yeah, exactly?

423
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:40.240
Yeah, Okay, Nope, it's
not working either. Well, take a

424
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:44.519
look at that manual and see if
it has a transmitted transit transmit screen.

425
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:49.000
Guys, I know it now.
To be honest, this actually is a

426
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:53.160
good screen because someone I bet we'll
have to get this radio and have this

427
00:28:53.319 --> 00:29:03.519
exact problem on our don and five
SKT the radio seven and fifty dollars.

428
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:12.359
All the options included GPRS and DMR. Interesting, seven fifty bad? Can

429
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:18.960
they give us fifty watts? True? It does do a lot of stuff,

430
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.640
but I don't know. Seven fifty
though, plus DMR that that I

431
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:27.200
could see that. I can see
that for a radio, right, and

432
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:33.279
DMR HF and UHI VHF. I
think that is almost a complete package in

433
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:48.680
itself. Oh yeah, let's see. You got the link to this radio

434
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.480
and the chat. No, it's
in the description of the video. Yeah,

435
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.440
I also linked it into the chat
above him. Okay, okay,

436
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.960
good, do you want it?
I could throw it into our I got.

437
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.839
I'm taking a look at it.
M m mmm. Let's see.

438
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:11.799
Okay. Do they offer the manual
on their website? Yes? Check,

439
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:15.480
yeah, that's that's where I'm That's
where I showed it here a second ago.

440
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:30.839
M hm. Why is it still
there on that sales site? They

441
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:48.759
have the manual? Oh, nicem
so maybe under specifications or something. They

442
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:56.960
need an exit button to exit out
of whatever menu you're in. Uhm,

443
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:07.279
it's play nope, think pad,
think pad mode and rebuild, saying his

444
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.240
came with a paper manual. Mine
did not come with a paper manual.

445
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:14.759
Mine did. When I did my
first video, I said it didn't come

446
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.440
with a manual at all. What
I didn't say is it came with the

447
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.119
USB drive. So I'm like,
yeah, I'm not I'm not putting that

448
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:27.519
in my computer. I'll just look
up the manual on my mind. So

449
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:30.279
it does have a USBA drive with
it, but I'm like, yeah,

450
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:37.720
I don't really think I want to
do that, all right, Transmit to

451
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:45.559
TX disabled huh. Okay, well
you know what, let's try another band

452
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.880
that was twenty meters? Are you
sure what you were in? Band?

453
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:56.240
Just out of curiosity? Yeah,
fourteen two hundred that's extra but yes,

454
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:04.400
no it's not or well okay,
yeah, you're right it is. It

455
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:10.039
says launch operation factory lock TX opening
method ready, Yes, long press of

456
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:16.559
menu and then use arrow keys to
pick set YEP where I was in there

457
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:20.640
second ago, Okay, go ahead, and then tap menu again. Just

458
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:28.079
tap it and then find TX E
N YEP, then use the left arrow

459
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:34.000
key to select one okay, and
long press menu to exit. Okay,

460
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.319
there we go okay, it's probably
there's probably locked from them because of the

461
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:44.079
regions, or you could probably change
it to different regions. Yeah, okay,

462
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:52.519
all right, so let's go back
to twenty meters. Okay, and

463
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.160
let's go ahead and go because Frank's
right, that is the extra portion.

464
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:02.400
Let's go to two fifty. Man, those words just just filled me up

465
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:06.839
with happiness. I know, I
know. Sometimes I'll say it. It

466
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:13.279
does sound like a cheat code.
It does, okay, fourteen dot two

467
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:22.640
fifty on AM and that's doing something. Yeah, I saw the essay jump,

468
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:24.279
so sorry on the tiny essay.
You want to go to the main

469
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:35.079
menu and then go to measure main
menu and measure measure okay, yep.

470
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.279
And then under there you should see
harmonic yep. I'm just gonna ask you

471
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:43.480
for the frequency, so type in
whatever frequency the radio is tuned too in

472
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:47.559
mega hurts yeah, fourteen dot two
five oh, and then hit the M

473
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:57.160
the M. Okay, all right, it went back to the same screen

474
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:05.440
here, and do it again fourteen
m like mike, yep, Okay,

475
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:07.559
there we go. All right.
Now, what you want to do is

476
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:09.599
you want to go back into the
menu, the main menu, and then

477
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:14.840
there should be an option called level
level. Yes, so pick that,

478
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:21.280
and then under level you should have
something that says external gain like ex g

479
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:24.039
N I think is what it is. Ext gain. It's set at zero

480
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:29.320
dot zero dB yes, or hit
that, and then you want to do

481
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:37.599
negative forty times one times one.
Yeah, okay, all right. Now

482
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:39.239
when you key up, you should
get a you should get a table at

483
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:43.840
the top that's going to show you
all of the all of the frequencies that

484
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:45.840
it's seen. Oh yeah, so
give it a second or two to settle

485
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:52.159
down, and all of them should
be forty dB below. Let me just

486
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:58.159
double check it's forty I think,
actually it's forty three on HF I'm getting

487
00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:01.079
one at fifty six and one at
like sixty. Yeah, so it's clean.

488
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:07.239
On this should say like negative fifty
six dbc ont at like twenty seven

489
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:12.519
to twenty eight mega hurts at negative
fifty five to it's jumping between fifty four

490
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:17.679
and fifty five dbc. Yeah,
that's it's clean. And then fourteen O

491
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.079
three, which is set to fourteen
dot twenty five it's at forty dBm.

492
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.239
Yeah it sounds about so it's and
there's a third one that keeps popping up

493
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:30.880
and down. But it's it's yeah, order way now, Wow, I'm

494
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.719
impressed. I'll tell you what.
Put that joker on thirty meters because that's

495
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:39.320
where they usually have trouble. Okay, we can do that. I thought

496
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:42.599
I thought this was going to be
dirty, I told Aprili. I was

497
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.159
like, I'm sure this is gonna
be dirty as hell. Well, we're

498
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:46.400
going to test it. We're going
to test it once you get the adapter

499
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:51.840
in because I bet you, I
bet you what is thirty usually a problematic

500
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:57.000
band because what they'll do is they'll
share band pass filters or i'm sorry,

501
00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:01.559
low pass filters for thirty meters with
either two, twenty or forty, And

502
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:06.079
so that's one that's usually is almost
guaranteed to be bad. It is thirty

503
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:08.920
because it would have to put an
extra set of band past filters in there.

504
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:15.599
I'm sorry, low past filters in
there. So it's like, okay,

505
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:22.519
I don't have the thirty meter band
memorized FPE labs, thirty might not

506
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:28.840
be included. It's in here,
Gym, it's in here, okay,

507
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.400
and now we need to we need
to change this on the tiny SA too,

508
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:34.159
don't we. Yeah. So you
want at the main menu, you

509
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:44.880
want to go measure harmonic and then
put the new frequency in ten dot one

510
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:50.840
yep. And then you got to
go back into the level counts at the

511
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:59.039
external gain again not level COLG,
just level level yep, external gain yep.

512
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:05.639
And then negative times one yep.
Okay, all right, so we're

513
00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:19.880
at one twenty five here. Oh
my gosh, didn't like that. Okay,

514
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:31.159
okay, now your peak what is
that? So the fundamental which is

515
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:34.719
the frequency in the top left hand
corner, what is that saying? From

516
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:43.719
a dB standpoint, it's jumping between
like negative twenty two and thirteen. Let's

517
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:46.400
check you Let's check your level cow
because that's that's super low, right,

518
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:57.119
so like five watchs should be about
about thirty seven dBm okay, alright,

519
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.480
so level and col no, I'm
sorry, level and then external game again

520
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:06.119
external game Yeah, well it's uh
okay, well I'll set it again.

521
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:09.719
Oh no, I'm sorry. You
want to do negative forty negative four that's

522
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:14.760
that's it says negative forty under external
game right now? Oh it does negative

523
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.679
four zero dot zero dB. Yes, you might need to change the mode

524
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:22.199
to CW. Okay, I can
do that. That makes sense for thirty

525
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:27.719
meters. Actually it's on CW That's
that's why we heard the beat. CWR

526
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:31.880
and we do. C W R
and c W L are the two modes

527
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:37.119
that it'll do. Yeah, Scott's
saying that power might be band specific.

528
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:38.360
But I gotta tell you, Scott, five watts. It should be able

529
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:43.440
to do five watts c W right, No, it's still on five watts.

530
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:49.920
I mean some of these guys that
are on CW over over one hundred

531
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:55.320
watts. Yeah, so give it
a hit and see what it does.

532
00:38:55.679 --> 00:39:00.960
Well, it's right now, it's
saying up at the top left, it

533
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:05.159
says it's at like seventeen. It's
jumping between like seventeen and thirty megahertz at

534
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:08.679
negative forty seven forty eight dB.
Yeah, that's not I don't know if

535
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:13.079
it's the radio that we have configured
wrong, or if the radio doesn't put

536
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:16.960
out the right power on thirty you
gonna turn it up, try high power

537
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:21.440
higher. Yeah, you could hook
up well, you still got twenty minutes.

538
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:24.920
You could hook up a sw SWR
power meter and see what if it's

539
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:28.360
putting it out. Oh yeah,
if it's putting out any power at all,

540
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:37.039
it looks like the radio is going
in the transmit the radio. The

541
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:44.719
radio says that it's transmitting because it's
uh, do we have a it says,

542
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:47.880
it says vs, it's it does
say VSWR high. Is the dummy

543
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:52.440
load eating at all and not passing
some through? Well, that's a little

544
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.519
warm. That intenuator is a little
bit warm. Yeah, but it yeah,

545
00:39:57.559 --> 00:39:59.760
maybe gives it a tenuator a couple
of minutes to settle down. But

546
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:01.760
it it should be fine. The
attenu waiters fifty. Oh, and so

547
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:05.719
is the tiny essay. So it
shouldn't have highest wr. No, it

548
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:07.320
should be for Yeah, I was
just wondering if it was eating up the

549
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:14.519
signal. Mike. It pains me
to say, but MRD might be right.

550
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:21.360
He says, you're set the paddle
not straight key. I don't know

551
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:22.960
where that setting is in here.
Let me see if I can find it.

552
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:25.159
Well, let's just try. Let's
try AM. Let's just go to

553
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:31.480
a different mode. It's thirty at
that frequency. Is CW only right?

554
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:35.760
Thirty is? Yeah, but I
kind of doubt Well, let's see.

555
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:42.000
Let's see if this radio will let
me transmit on thirty meters at AM cwmgat

556
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:52.000
Yeah, it's still lets you,
but it still says SWR is high mode.

557
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:58.199
Yeah, you gotta you gotta go
in and you have to set the

558
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:02.639
key mode. Where's that. It's
good, It's gonna be a it's a

559
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:07.039
it's a process. So okay,
I I mean we could just try like

560
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:15.880
like I can go to y FM. We could go to fifteen meters because

561
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:21.519
that's another one that you typically have
trouble with. Okay, we can do

562
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:23.559
that, yeah, because it seemed
to work on twenty meters, but thirty

563
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:32.639
meters it's not like in thirty meters
banned twenty one mega hurts and for fifteen

564
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:37.840
meters, just do twenty one to
two two five. Okay, it's right

565
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:40.880
now, it's set on the FT
eight frequency. They will love that.

566
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:52.079
Just do it two. And also
the comment, we're not actually transmitting over

567
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:57.239
an antenna, so we don't really
have to match modes because it's all being

568
00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:00.679
eaten right now, right. Yeah, Now if you had if you had

569
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:05.960
something sensitive sitting right next to it, it might might pick it up.

570
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:09.440
Yeah. I was just saying that
even though we not might be on the

571
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:15.199
right mode, it shouldn't really matter
because we should be transmitting or the tiny

572
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:21.800
sa Ultra is acting like a dummy
load with the attenuator right it does.

573
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:28.360
It does still say vs w R
high when king up two one two two

574
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:36.119
five on AM mode, so it
doesn't actually act like like the Uh.

575
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:37.960
It's probably hard to see in the
screen, but what it's doing here is

576
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:43.920
the the the power meter will will
go full red, like like full power

577
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:46.800
for a split second and then it'll
drop and it'll say highest WR. So

578
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:51.039
I think the radio is saving it
so from being on the highest wry.

579
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:53.119
Folding back, do you have a
dummy load that you can You can take

580
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:55.440
the attenuator off and just transmit in
to a dummy load and see what it

581
00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:04.039
does. See if I've got one
here with me? H m hmm.

582
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:15.840
What are you chuckling at im?
Laughing? Digital dreamer. He said he

583
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:21.119
was going to buy offer to buy
it, but now he's yeah, he

584
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:29.920
emailed me wanted to buy it.
While back all right, let's see get

585
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:34.199
this to Yeah, adapters, adapters, adapters, Actually I can take all

586
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:40.519
the adapters off. Now, yeah, it could be a bad adapter.

587
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:44.639
It could be that one cable because
one of those cables, yes, acting

588
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:46.000
goofy when we did that that's true. That's true. Also, yeah,

589
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:53.360
okay, all right, here we
go dummy load. It's working fine on

590
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:57.519
a dummie load. All right,
let's trade the cable out because you're right

591
00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:00.320
it was acting goofy. We'll trade
read the cable out and it's coming from

592
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:04.800
the tiny essay. That's what I'm
talking about. Okay, yeah, because

593
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:07.840
I've got another one right here.
The tiny essay comes with two of these,

594
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:10.440
and I've got the I've actually got
the two cables from my original tiny

595
00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:14.320
essay as well that we could try
that if we wanted to. So,

596
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:17.039
yeah, here's the cable coming off
of what we were just using. That's

597
00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:21.239
this one right here, some of
throw it over there. This is the

598
00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:23.159
second cable that came off the tiny
essay. Yea, and if this worked,

599
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:25.679
get the scissors and cut that other
one in there. That's right.

600
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:31.519
Yeah, yeah, no doubt.
That's funny you say that because I kept

601
00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:35.880
grabbing a cable. I was like, that was bad. Once. When

602
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:37.800
something is bad, like adapt or
something, I put it right in the

603
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:43.000
trash. Oh yeah, the way
you don't grab it by mistake in the

604
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:46.840
future. Sheeesh. This is hey, this is what Hamm radio is about

605
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:57.199
guys experimentation. Okay, all right, let's try that. Now it still

606
00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.280
says highest WR. I wonder if
this adapter I have in the the middle

607
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:05.679
of this sucker is just too much
for it. That's weird. Yeah,

608
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:07.440
does it tend to way to cool
down by now? It's not. It's

609
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:10.519
not hot. Now go back to
go back to twenty meters and see,

610
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:14.320
because we were fine onto one,
we're fine on twenty meters now, yeah,

611
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:22.239
we were a band. I believe
we just answered that. Chuck.

612
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:27.199
Yes, it does come with two
two to what. Yeah, it does.

613
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:31.800
It looks like it's still doing the
same thing. Yeah, it still

614
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:37.800
says high SWR. It wasn't saying
that a minute ago. It wasn't saying

615
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:42.559
that on twenty meters originally, No, for sure, wasn't. All right,

616
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:45.239
Well, something's bad in that setup, I guess. So what I

617
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:52.760
think I'll probably do is find a
cable that actually has B and C to

618
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:58.760
the correct SMA to go well to
uh SMA mail to go into the attenuator

619
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:02.000
here instead of went through this contraption
here, because this is probably where my

620
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:07.519
breakdown is right here, I would
guess is that it is this is the

621
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:13.400
cable right here. So that's a
barrel connector one two three three, it's

622
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:19.679
three. Yeah, so oh is
that another barrel? Also, this is

623
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:22.559
a barrel, and this is a
barrel. Everything's tight, right, All

624
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:28.639
the connectors are tight. And make
sure that one's good. That one's good.

625
00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:30.000
That one was a little loose right
there, the SMA one was a

626
00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:38.840
little loose. It still says it. Nope, hmm, okay, well

627
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:49.079
for whatever reason. Interesting, Okay, I don't know. Yeah, that's

628
00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.079
it's giving me high SWR. So
there's probably a breakdown. And I and

629
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:53.039
like we said, we put it
on the dummy load. It's fine.

630
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:59.320
So there's a breakdown somewhere between here
and here, like UK, like is

631
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:04.840
coined at the inuator. You killed
the attenuator. I don't think. I

632
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:07.639
bet it's I bet it's the adapters. This attenuator worked fine a couple of

633
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.440
weeks ago when we did the other
video. Yeah, so I've seen the

634
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:15.800
attenuators go bad over time. But
what happens is that they stop attenuating.

635
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:21.800
Generally, they don't change. They
wouldn't change impede's level. Yeah right right,

636
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:23.880
yeah, because it's showing if it's
the highest of your it's not seeing

637
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:30.360
fifty oms. So yeah, there's
I'm gonna I'm gonna guess it's in here

638
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:31.960
somewhere. Well, what you could
do to test it is you could if

639
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:37.920
you could hook the dummy load,
like unscrew the cable from the tiny SAM

640
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:43.239
You'd have to have the adapter and
then screw that into the dummy load,

641
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:51.559
right, So that way you're testing
your whole transmission line. Okay, so

642
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:55.199
I I'm not following what you're saying
here. So if you unscrew the cable

643
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:59.599
from the tiny Essay at the tiny
SA port, yeah, and if you

644
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:02.000
can can that to your if you
have the adapter to connect that to your

645
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:07.280
dummy load. Uh no, I
don't have that. Well wait a minute,

646
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:10.960
do I No, I don't.
I don't have that here with me.

647
00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:15.079
No, I've got it. I
do have an adapter inside. But

648
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:20.920
that Kyle's tackle box that I keep
on my adapters in now, it's where

649
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:23.119
I got these things out of.
But it's in it's it's in the house.

650
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:27.039
It's not in here. So I
could I guess I could do that

651
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:32.199
and it would uh right, that
would tell me if it's if they're if

652
00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:35.800
the cables, if the problems in
this cable because we know it works with

653
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:40.039
the with the dummy load. That's
true, right, See I don't think

654
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:51.360
I have that does make sense?
No, I don't have one right here

655
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.760
with me, and uh, we've
only got about ten minutes left. So

656
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.800
yeah, we'll just wait until you
get the other adapter and then uh yeah

657
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:00.360
we'll do it again there. Yeah, yeah, mine as well. Okay,

658
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:05.360
well, okay, unfortunately that didn't
work. But do you have your

659
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:07.840
other tiny essay around? Yeah,
I've got it right here. Let's get

660
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:12.639
that one hooked up and see you
want to just try to try changing out

661
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:20.360
the complete essay? Yeah, yeah, that I have. Come on,

662
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:35.159
all right, you might have to
call CEC say sun right, you're right,

663
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:39.400
yeah, that didn't work. Yeah, and just keeah, we don't

664
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:43.320
need to we don't. We just
attest the input in pans. We don't

665
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:46.760
need to configure anything, right,
it goes into low port right yeah,

666
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:54.840
okay, same thing, highest imortant. Yeah, so it's either the radio

667
00:49:55.079 --> 00:50:00.199
or that transmission line. It shouldn't
be the radio because cause it worked with

668
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:04.679
the uh with the dummy load,
I would agree, So so yeah,

669
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:07.559
it's got to be this. It's
got to be this contraption I've put in

670
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:15.519
here. So I thought that I
had a an adapter for the B and

671
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:21.639
C to uh SMA, but it's
the wrong sex B and C. I

672
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:23.320
have the other sex B and C
to SMA, but I don't have that

673
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:28.559
one for that. You just need
to go go on Amazon in order a

674
00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:31.119
shipload for lack of a better word, of adapts. Right, well,

675
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:34.719
I've got a bunch of adapt I
mean, I don't shoot and uh and

676
00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.960
yeah, I'm gonna have to get
a mini UHF for that one too.

677
00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:40.760
But yeah, I've got I've got
a boatload of adapters, but I can

678
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:45.599
never find the one I need.
That's exactly how I am. That's exactly

679
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:46.920
how I am. I never can't
find the one that I need. I've

680
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:50.960
got a bunch of them. But
guess what, it's always the one that

681
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.239
you don't have, just the one
you need. So anyway, okay,

682
00:50:53.719 --> 00:51:00.239
well you know what. That's okay. I will continue to uh to experiment

683
00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:06.840
with this and see how that goes, because I'm really curious to see I

684
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:09.679
So, our first test was successful, right, Yes, we did a

685
00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:14.079
twenty meter test and it was there
was no harmony. There was one harmonic

686
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:19.119
on it, and it was like
negative sixty, I think, which is

687
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:22.199
great. Anything below negative forty is
beautiful. I expected this thing to be

688
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:28.159
like spiked everywhere. Negative five dB
here, ten gb there. I'm like,

689
00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:30.960
oh my god. But hey,
I'm pretty impressed with that. So

690
00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:36.000
test successful as far as I'm concerned. And then before our equipment failed.

691
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:39.159
But that's uh, that's what ham
radio is all about. Here's a question

692
00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:45.239
from Colina. Doesn't need a Dumby
load or something else in the other port

693
00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:52.920
could be question. He doesn't have
the time and says, today the top

694
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:58.199
port is an output port only,
and so it's for signal generation. It's

695
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:04.400
not, it's not they're isolated.
That is a That's why I have ape

696
00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:07.559
On here to answer this question.
So yeah, you know the the I

697
00:52:07.559 --> 00:52:13.000
mean, for all intents and purposes, the the essay acts as a signal

698
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:17.519
capture device or a dummy load to
to to measure your output whatever you're doing

699
00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:22.079
with it. So yeah, no, you you don't need that. Put

700
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:25.960
that in there too. But all
right, so we're gonna do a follow

701
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:30.159
up video with that, and I'm
gonna go order some In fact, you

702
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:36.159
know what, this a a lot
of my adapters came from American Radio Supply

703
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:38.239
dot Com. I really like that, the uh quality of adapters they have.

704
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:42.199
But that's with not this barrel connector, but this guy right here,

705
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:47.239
uh unscrewed, unscrewed right here,
this s two thirty nine to be and

706
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:51.320
seen. That came from American Radio
Supply dot Com. They got some really

707
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:53.880
good cables and there. Yeah,
they're there, and it's always good to

708
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:58.719
support the little guys right right right. Yeah. So, and I've had

709
00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:00.719
some adapters that I got from Amazon
go bad in the past, and I'm

710
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:04.039
like, I'm kind of I'm a
little bit, kind of a little bit

711
00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:07.320
leery about using adapters. But if
you buy like a package of three or

712
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:10.960
five, then most likely they're all
going to be good except for maybe one,

713
00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:14.599
and just throw the one away and
you've still got three or three left.

714
00:53:14.679 --> 00:53:16.639
So it's it's okay, I'm going
to answer this question. I've seen

715
00:53:16.679 --> 00:53:22.119
it in the comments a couple of
times now. The attenuator is directional?

716
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:24.960
Are we made Are we sure it
was in the right direction? It's not

717
00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:30.440
directional. We discussed that in the
last video. Yeah, so I've seen

718
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:34.039
them that work. They sometimes they'll
come with a sticker on them. That's

719
00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:37.239
saying that they're directional. And I've
tested all the ones that I've got and

720
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:40.360
they work by directional lye, so
you should be fine. And even if

721
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:45.119
you like so to Joe Bratt had
one that went bad, t O had

722
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:47.119
one that went bad, and then
I had one that went bad, and

723
00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:53.039
there's stopped attenuating mine. The attenuation
level dropped three dB or half power.

724
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:59.159
So I have never seen one change
its input impedance. But who knows,

725
00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:02.360
right, So I guess anything's possible. But yeah, yeah, okay,

726
00:54:05.079 --> 00:54:07.079
yeah, but yeah, we we
actually did discuss that in the last live

727
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.559
stream we did, the first live
stream that I did with the Tiny Essay,

728
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:14.639
because that was because I thought it
was I thought it was unidirectional as

729
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:16.599
well, but apparently it's not.
It's not supposed to be anyway, so

730
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:22.159
there you go. So there gray
Man is asking if we're using tuned cables

731
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:24.320
from the tiny essay. We're using
the cables that came with the Tiny Essay,

732
00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:29.880
right, they certainly should be tuned. They came with it, So

733
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:35.599
yep, sure are, and we'll
see you next time. Guey hectic,

734
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:44.840
righty headache U reminds me of the
word heretic. Guey heretic be a rebellious

735
00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:50.119
demonic radio for the radio world,
gray Man Poda is asking, were you

736
00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:53.760
we using the tune cables for the
tiny Essa? That's what Ape just said,

737
00:54:53.800 --> 00:55:06.039
Frank Busy count those envelopes. It
was a new no. He just

738
00:55:06.119 --> 00:55:12.559
read that Phusy counting the zillows.
All right, well there we go.

739
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:17.599
Okay, guys, hey, thanks
for joining. It's it's fun to try

740
00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:21.880
to experiment with this stuff. I
really do enjoy that. And like I

741
00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:25.400
said, it was kind of successful
because the first time we keep up twenty

742
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:30.920
meters after we got the transmit enabled, it was it worked and the signal

743
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:38.320
looked beautiful on twenty meters. Am
So I will fix my adapter problem and

744
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:43.559
probably do another short video, probably
not another livestream, but I will fix

745
00:55:43.599 --> 00:55:46.760
my adapter problem and do some more
experimenting with this on multiple bands and getting

746
00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:51.159
get a mini UHF port as well, so I can test a two meter

747
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:57.239
for forty output of it and then
we'll go from there. So uh yeah,

748
00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:01.480
