WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Brand new for twenty twenty five, a new Balfang UV

2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>seven Bravo. It is a Triband radio and after putting

3
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>the battery on with this little screw in the back

4
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>here and sent in it all down, it looks like

5
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 1>it's waterproof and IP sixty seven rated.

6
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it is.

7
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>We're going to take a look at it right now, okay,

8
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 1>UV seven Bravo. This is a brand new radio. It

9
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>came out a few months ago. It's not brand brand new,

10
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.199
<v Speaker 1>but it is new for twenty twenty five. And of

11
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 1>course I love doing the Balfang videos because these are

12
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>always real popular. You guys always really like those. We're

13
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>going to test this radio today. I'm gonna put it

14
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 1>on the tiny Esa. We're gonna do some spectral purity testing,

15
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>and i'm gonna put it behind me here on the

16
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Antellotron power meter and we're gonna do some power testing.

17
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 1>The first thing I noticed about it, besides the battery,

18
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.039
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned the battery right here. There's a USBC port

19
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 1>right there, and this once the battery kind of sinks

20
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 1>down in there, you tighten it down with a flathead

21
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>screwdriver and it really seals it along the edges here,

22
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>so that's really good.

23
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Put your belt clip right here.

24
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>You can attach it right here with these screws right there,

25
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and that will attach to the radio body itself, not

26
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>to the battery. So you can change out batteries and

27
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.359
<v Speaker 1>have multiple batteries, but all use the same belt clip

28
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>on the radio.

29
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>That's good.

30
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>And of course the charging port is on the USBC

31
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>charging port, I should say, is on the battery itself,

32
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>not on the radio. Look over here on the other

33
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>side of the radio, there's a standwood kinwood K connector

34
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:24.159
<v Speaker 1>right there and a dual flashlight on the bottom there.

35
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 1>That's always fun volume knob up down channels. This channel

36
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 1>indicator right there is what changes channels up down right there,

37
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>changes frequencies when in VFO mode. And you've got a

38
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>single PTT on the side over there with an extra

39
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>button on the side that will turn on the FM

40
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 1>broadcast radio.

41
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>So let's take a.

42
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Look at the overhead. This is the manual that you get.

43
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Pretty good manual really, it's a small text and kind

44
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>of hard to read, but it'll tell you everything that

45
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 1>you want to know right there, pretty well written for

46
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Chinese radio menu, not bad there at all. So this

47
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 1>is once again single PTT here. This turns on the

48
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>FM broadcast radio right there. Hit that button again, it

49
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>turns it off. It does transmit this one. Well, that's

50
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.599
<v Speaker 1>the menu right there. Okay, So this one right here,

51
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>this blue button right here switches between the top and

52
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the bottom band. Okay, there's probably buzzing in the KC

53
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>five HBB. There's probably buzzing the microphone. Lack y up,

54
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that's just a standard thing. Because I'm transmitting right next

55
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 1>to my microphone here. It will transmit on two two

56
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>four dot five KC five HBB testing. Actually the calling

57
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 1>frequency is two two three dot five right there, KC

58
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>five HWB testing. So we're gonna test that in a minute.

59
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna put it on the meter and see how

60
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 1>much output power does. And I might put that on

61
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the tiny Esa as well. Again, standard Kinwood K connector

62
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>USBC port on the battery back here, dual flashlight on

63
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the bottom, so it's always fun. And then this radio

64
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 1>has Bluetooth that will allow you to program the radio

65
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.039
<v Speaker 1>with BLUETOOTHS. And when we go over here to Balfang's website, Okay,

66
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>this is where I bought this radio on Amazon. Okay,

67
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 1>so I'm gonna share a link in the description blow

68
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon, but Balfang radio dot Com. A lot of

69
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 1>the times I will talk about a Balfang radio, a

70
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 1>new model that maybe is not as well known or

71
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 1>nobody's heard of yet, and they'll be like, no, this

72
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 1>is a copy. It's not a real thing. If you

73
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>go to balfang radio dot com, that's their official website,

74
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and if you find the model there, then you know

75
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a real thing. There's a difference between the five

76
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 1>RM and the RM five I think it is. And

77
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 1>I asked them about that one time and they're like,

78
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 1>the five rms rs one of them. I don't remember

79
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>which one it was right now, I have the email

80
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>from them. They said, one of them are they're both ours,

81
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 1>but one of them was made for specific customer. So

82
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>one of them we sell on our website and one

83
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>of them the specific customer selles. I'm like, okay, so

84
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>they're both basically the same radio. But if we go

85
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>over here and look at balfangradio dot com, you can

86
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 1>see the app is right there pictured on the smartphone,

87
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 1>and then it's got one review with a one star rating,

88
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and if you click down here onto this review. It's

89
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>set fifteen minutes ago. This review was left today. Great,

90
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>this app is a real mess. It throws all my

91
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>previous settings out and messes up the radio. Really Balfang,

92
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 1>what a mess. So the only review on this radio

93
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>is about the app. Okay, this is actually and I

94
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 1>could see that. Okay, if the app is terrible, I

95
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I am not going to download and install

96
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>the app today. This is the same app I believe

97
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 1>that works with the UV five R Mini that we

98
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 1>just reviewed and a lot of the newer Balfang radios.

99
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>In fact, there's a shot of the UV thirty two

100
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>right there, So that's another Balfang that I have that

101
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be making a video about really soon. That

102
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the right over there, the UV thirty two,

103
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of like a Motorola copy or that other radio

104
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 1>I did a while back, something like that. So I

105
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>probably will do an video about the app itself and see.

106
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>But this app is supposedly works for multiple radios, and

107
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>this one bad review I've read about it is that

108
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 1>really the only thing I've ever heard about it. I

109
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.319
<v Speaker 1>haven't really heard much about that app at all. So

110
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>let's put it on the tiny essay and see what

111
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>we can see. All right, we set up the tiny essay,

112
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I'll show you what settings I used in a second

113
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>one forty six up five to two.

114
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Right now now, I did.

115
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>A and you can see at the top of the

116
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 1>tiny SA screen right there, it's coming up at one

117
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>forty six stop five. I did a purity test on

118
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.879
<v Speaker 1>the UV five R Mini and I was pleasantly surprised

119
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>that it was pretty clean. This one does not look

120
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>like it is the same thing. I'm gonna let go

121
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 1>of it and reset just for the heck of it.

122
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.759
<v Speaker 1>But we did a test a while back on the

123
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 1>five RM, the one I mentioned the model I mentioned

124
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.439
<v Speaker 1>a minute ago, and it was really dirty. So bwfang

125
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 1>seems to be kind of hit or miss on radios.

126
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 1>This one right here. Being a try band, I was

127
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of hoping it'd be cleaner, but so far does

128
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>not look like it's great. You've got a second harmonic

129
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 1>popping up right there around four hundred and thirty nine megahurts,

130
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>so that's even within the amateur radio band.

131
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Pretty bad.

132
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Got a fourth harmonic right there, popping up somewhere around

133
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and ninety mega hurts something like that. So yeah,

134
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 1>not the cleanest signal in the world. Okay, disappointing, but okay,

135
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>let's try the two twenty band. I wonder how clean

136
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 1>it is there. So we're gonna go here, and we're

137
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna go to measure harmonic and I'm gonna change it

138
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 1>to two two three dot five mega hurts. Enter it again,

139
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna go back in here and choose level

140
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and say ext gain of minus forty times one, And

141
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 1>now we're gonna key up on two two three dot five,

142
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 1>which is the bottom band on the radio right now. Okay,

143
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.199
<v Speaker 1>freaked out on me a little bit at first, but

144
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>then it cleaned up two two three dot five right there.

145
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 1>There's a little dip right there on the just to

146
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the right of it, but it's not actually reading a

147
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 1>harmonic so okay, we're not on an offset. The radio's

148
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 1>on the correct frequency, so we're good there. Okay, cleaner

149
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>on two twenty than it is on two meeta. Okay,

150
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 1>well good, okay, So let's check the four forty six band.

151
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Ah wait, let's do four four to six. You see

152
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 1>all this information that popped up here, it's not transmitting

153
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>right now, So Okay, once again, we're gonna go back

154
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and choose measure harmonic four four six dot mega hurtz,

155
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 1>go back and choose level minus forty times one, and.

156
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>There we go. Let it reset for forty six right there.

157
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, there is an eighth harmonic up here. It says

158
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>it's it like two point nine gigahertz, which is kind

159
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>of what we saw with the UV five R Mini

160
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>a while back as well. But that's a pretty clean

161
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>signal on four forty. Okay, So I'm both disappointed and

162
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.240
<v Speaker 1>impressed at the same time because guess what I was

163
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to the fact that this was a tryband

164
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 1>radio that incorporated the one point two five meter two

165
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty band and one of my favorite bands. So I'm

166
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to try to see what it sounds like

167
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>on that band soon. But the kind of dirty on

168
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>two meters two twenty and four to forty look pretty

169
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.279
<v Speaker 1>darn good. That tells me it's prob'll gonna be doing

170
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 1>more power on two meters than the other two because

171
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 1>it's probably pushing too much power. Let's put it over

172
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 1>here on the inteletron meter and see what we can see.

173
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.399
<v Speaker 1>All right over here on the testing bench. Today's video

174
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 1>is sponsored by Mesi and Poloni Coax, which is the

180
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.439
<v Speaker 1>and plenty for supporting this channel. Okay, one thing I

181
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 1>did not show you yet. There are two power settings

182
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>on this radio, high and low transmit power of high

183
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and low. We're gonna go into let's see radio said,

184
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 1>we go into program channel and the second one down

185
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 1>is transmit power high power and low power. So we're

186
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna leave it on high power. We're gonna go here

187
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to one forty six five to two, which is the

188
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>national calling frequency that we should all be monitoring on

189
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>a daily basis five watts.

190
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 2>This is advertised as a five watt radio, so.

191
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>To me that that's exactly where it should be. Okay,

192
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.279
<v Speaker 1>and now since I've got it on the bottom band,

193
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going to switch bands for forty six and

194
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>make sure still on high power. Good on the bottom band,

195
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>We're going to key that up three point two watts

196
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 1>on four forty and I'm going to change two two

197
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>three five zero zero. We're gonna still on high power

198
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 1>in that bottom band right there, yep, just like that,

199
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.959
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to key that up.

200
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 2>So four and a half four point three watts there.

201
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>So about just over five watts on two meters, just

202
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>over four watts on two twenty and about three and

203
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a half watts on four forty.

204
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.120
<v Speaker 2>So overall pretty decent.

205
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean something. I think I mentioned this earlier. I

206
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 1>can't remember if I did now or not. This came

207
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>with like this Nagoya style antenna. It does not look

208
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 1>like a regular Balfang antenna. Looks like a Nagoya seven

209
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>seven zero I think is it is seven to seveny

210
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.759
<v Speaker 1>one is the extended intenda the longer win. This looks

211
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>like a standard Nagoya antenna.

212
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>It's not marked.

213
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.279
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't say anything on the bottom of it. It

214
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>says dual band one thirty six to one seventy four

215
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 1>and four hundred and four eighty. It doesn't have a

216
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>brand name on it, so who knows. Possibly all from

217
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the same factory in China.

218
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Who knows.

219
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.039
<v Speaker 1>But let's see if we can get somebody on the

220
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 1>let's program a channel. I'm going to show you guys

221
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.919
<v Speaker 1>how to program a channel real quick, okay, So I.

222
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Put it in.

223
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>We're in VFO mode for four to two dot nine there,

224
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna go to program channel here. Transit power.

225
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna leave that on high bandwidth should already be

226
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.679
<v Speaker 1>yea's wide. Okay, receive CTCSS, I'm gonna leave off. We're

227
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna turn on transmit CTCSS and we're gonna go to

228
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>one ten dot nine, which is what this repeater is

229
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>on right there, okay, And then I'm gonna go, oops,

230
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>it took me back two menus okay, back in here.

231
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 1>No encryption, signaling channel memory, busy lockout offset okay. So

232
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna say okay, and I'm gonna go back into

233
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 1>it just to make sure, yep, Okay, it's still there.

234
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Offset is five mega hurts and direction is a plus.

235
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

236
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Now there we go. That's the channel right there. When

237
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I key up, it should key up four four seven

238
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 1>dot nine hundred, and it is.

239
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>And there you go, right there.

240
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>It keeped it laying down on the while laying down

241
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.399
<v Speaker 1>flat on the desk, it keyed the repeater KC five

242
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>HWB testing actually gets into it better at a horizontal

243
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>configuration than a vertical configuration KC five hw B testing.

244
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>And there you go. That sounds a little bit k.

245
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 1>K LM and you're coming through good here.

246
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker 2>About eight by eight. What is that? Okay?

247
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it was KATE four JLM if I'm not mistaken.

248
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for the comeback.

249
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm testing a new HT here from my home in Grapevine.

250
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.679
<v Speaker 2>Just wanted to see what it was. Sounded like, kjell

251
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.960
<v Speaker 2>and you're done real good right there. You old pitstetic

252
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:26.679
<v Speaker 2>but still completely readable.

253
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 1>So it sounds like a.

254
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Really good HD.

255
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why it works better horizontally though, It's

256
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:32.919
<v Speaker 1>just something about the electronics in this building.

257
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, appreciate that. Thanks for the comeback. In seventy three

258
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 2>k C five hw and there it is right there.

259
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 1>So that is the bellfang UV seven Bravo and sounds good,

260
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.879
<v Speaker 1>good clean audio on transmit and pretty decent audio with

261
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>all the electronics around here in the hamshrack. So I'll

262
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 1>leave a link to this in the description below. You guys,

263
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>let me know have you seen this radio yet. I've

264
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 1>not seen any videos on YouTube about it, but it

265
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>came across I subscribed to the balfang radio dot com

266
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>emails and it came across my feed. I don't know

267
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months ago. I should have made this

268
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 1>video before now, but I really haven't heard much about it,

269
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>and I was interested in it because it was triband

270
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>so far, so good. A little bit of a dirty

271
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.080
<v Speaker 1>signal on two meters. But has anyone seen this? What

272
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 1>do you think about it? If so, let me know

273
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in the comments below. And if you did like this video,

274
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 1>check out these videos over here because YouTube thinks you

275
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 1>want to watch those next seventy three guys.

276
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:23.960
<v Speaker 2>We'll catch you next time.
