My magnet Mount Wilson swt 1000 pegs the needle, I wonder if this would bring the SWR down do a nice little acceptable number?
Great activation! Nice location. I would love to spend a couple hours in a location like that and just enjoy the view. 73
nice spot for radio :D thats how i put my t2lt antenna up a few years ago. you should get your self a fishing catapult and some smaller weights :D
Fantastic video and well on the way to 20 :) 73 Carl 2E0HPI
Great Video and New Park Activation
Nice
Very nice m8
Brilliant, I’m using a windows Linx 7 inch tablet with a wolphilink psk and FT8 and ft 817 thanks for the video 2E0PGT 👍
Donde compro es ZETAGI MM27?
Hello I need to know hiownis the correct way to connect this matching, because not show in and out or radio and antena marks
i sleep with this video..oh my god
What is the name of your allotment garden channel? I would like to see it.
Boomerang antenna's suck
I keep getting Failed to connect the COM port error :’(.
Do you still have the FT-817 ? I got the 818 around 3 weeks ago and I like it a lot, been having a lot of fun with it and the DL1DN whip and the MFJ-9232 loop tuner. Thinking about getting Lithium battery for it. I really like the form factor and being able to hang it from my neck via the supplied strap and walk around with the whip antenna. I hope if Yaesu come out with a new QRP radio that it's not a SDR with big screen, this 818 is really rugged, but everyone seems to want the screen these days, I like to keep things simple + not everyone can afford 1500 Euro for a QRP radio and like me, many People just might like a basic simple radio for HF only. I thought about getting the Xiegu X5105, I had it before and really liked the internal battery but I like the 818 a lot more, I don't use a tuner portable anyway. The X6100 seems to be a noisy radio, don't like the audio from the videos I've seen and I don't care for SDR for a QRP rig at all, in fact, the Elecraft Kx2 would be my perfect radio if I could have got one.
It's a directive antenna, in open space better a GP.
Why not used international phonetic? Mexico vs Mike.
great vid just got my G90 and was wondering where you got the fan unit from so i can order mine 73 2E0FJQ Phil
Hi Phil' Glad you liked the video. The Xiegu is a lovely radio I'm for home and portable as for the fan stand I bought it from sinotel in the uk Best 73 Roger
I notice the CRT SS9900 version of this board covers 12m. Is it possible to program the DR135/DX10 from 24.89 - 24.99Mhz? Even modifying the .DAT file?
I liked the radio apart from the receive audio, to my ear it's almost unintelligible..
Did you use an external speaker or headphones, A radios internal speaker is usually never good. I always use headphones. I find that using contour and notch can really make the audio good, at least on the 891 and FTDX-10, the FTDX-10 has some amazing audio and receiver compared to my old 7300 which is gone now and I don't miss it, the audio was harsh and tiring to listen to and I needed NR on all the time, don't need DNR on the 891 or FTDX-10 it sounds so good. I have a 450D coming now and will sell the 891 just because I want a radio with better ergonomics with more buttons as I don't do much portable ops now since I no longer work shift and don't have as many days off. The 891 has a terrific receiver though and audio, in fact, had it not been for the 891 I'd not be any the wiser as to the bad audio from the 7300. I can still take the 450D with me if I work portable because I never work far from the car anyway.
its a shame you cant press a PTT like other radio software, unless im missing something
Thanks for content. I spotlighted you on Episode 8 of Hamtuber Spotlight. czcams.com/video/tEEDkxP2DIc/video.html Hope all is well. 73 and God bless
I now have the matcher. The 9900 and the Audioline 345. Same as Uniden. Funny that.
Great video, thanks. Im just looking at getting into CB and Sideband Radio. I really like this model. I havnt as yet found out if it is ok to use in the Uk,or is any license required? Hoping to get one soon, looks really good with the heads-up display,for a newbie like me. Subscribed. Many thanks :)
Thank you, 73!
very good transceiver👍
I want one. De N1XXU
*amused* You have the same glasses case as I do. It's a good little radio that I am having great fun with.. but I do need to wear my glasses to see the screen :D
I take it u live near the sea Great video . What distance have u got thanks
Stumbled upon this don't have an HF radio, but what's the main focus to the software, just to use it on a pc rather than the radio itself 🤷🏻♂️
Some people have multiple radios that could be on a shelf etc and to save them reaching up constantly to change settings this just makes it a bit easier.
Great video! I just ordered one. I was hesitant about 20W SSB. I use mostly Par EFs on 40m and 20m. I'm hoping it's just the thing for vacations, /p and POTA.
They are a great radio, you will have a lot of fun with the G90. The antenna is a EFHW 49:1unun 80 / 40 / 20 / 15 / 10 m Short with coil. From. WireAntennas.co.uk The antenna is about 70 feet long
Whats the best way to set the AWR on the Boomerang 27 A antenna? can I just measure 102 inches on the radial and lock in down with the set screw then fine tune with the bottom ground plane radial by moveing it up or down. any info would be a help.
Do you need a ham license for that rig
it's all a bit odd really, unless the law for "type approval" has changed, an Amateur can use the 10M frequencies on here but in the UK, a CB radio must be "approved" and locked to CB ONLY frequencies, so although an Amateur can make their own transceivers with ZERO type approval, they cannot transmit "out of band" on CB except on type-approved radios. CB users ALSO cannot transmit on non-type approved radios legally. In reality, CBers sticking to CB frequencies are unlikely to have problems, Amaterurs operating on both CB and Ham bands are unlikely to have issues.
I’ve heard that the connectors are board mounted surface mount soldered. Be careful not to break them loose from the board. That’s about the only negative comment I have heard.
Anyone know what power these can safely handle, please? Zetagi say 100W, but they exaggerate ratings.
what ?
Does it do 11meters
Yes it will do 11m but you have to a mod to the radio there's a arrow on the board that shows you which part to take out. There are videos on CZcams showing how it's done. Best 73
@@radiosonic0007 thanks 73s AH56
Nice video. Just to confirm that efhw do not NEED an earth rod or similar. Just a counterpoise a length of 1/20th of the lowest band is fine or that same length of coax from the transformer before a common mode choke. 73
Hi Tim, yes, I have an RF choke. The antenna is the shortened version, about 23 meters. Seems to work very well indeed, just wish I bought one sooner. The only band I don't have is 17m, but I build one today. My next project is putting the hustler back up. Will have to look around for wire on the internet, as the hustler likes lots of radials. 73
Great radio I really like mine for field work and to keep in my go bag. / czcams.com/video/SkgR85gbdak/video.html / This setup is my 100% in the field. P.S. I subscribed waiting for more 73.
Hi Leesops, I enjoyed your videos and the G90 and have subscribed. Keep up the good work, hope to catch you on the bands some day. 10m band is getting better look forward to working the states again on 10m Best 73 Roger
@@radiosonic0007 Great hope to catch you we hang out and listen on 28.300.00 on there now 73 from OHIO. Also on ft8 K8TLA

Enjoy, Mine will be here Tuesday the 22nd
I never got a ped with my G90, I run mine remote via g&G kit
Hi just asking what antenna you are useing thanks.
Hello Christopher, I use a Half size G5RV and a long wire. I will be reviewing a new antenna in my next video Multi-band end-fed antenna with mounting bracket 80/40/20/15/10m shortened from UK antennas. Not a great time here as bands haven't been that good. For portable, I use a sotabeam band hopper 3 dipole antenna it's linked, and I have had great results out portable 73
@@radiosonic0007 Looking forward to your end fed video thanks.
Christopher, with any lower power radio, you want your antenna to be as efficient as possible. I have talked to South America on a Buddistick on a tripod in my yard. However, my best contacts have been on my Par EndFedz. You easily get the entire band. You can get the SWR close to 1:1 and R to 50. For field portable, RG-58 works fine and takes up less space and weight. Some people even use RG-174 for short runs at low frequencies; especially SOTA types. Others may have great luck with many field antennas, but EFs work great for me. Plus, tune once and forget about it forever.
Other than the G5RV what other antennas do you use? I have a G90 coming this week. I’ll be testing its range using a SuperAntenna MP1 in my back yard. Mark
Hello Mark, You're going to enjoy using the Xiegu G90 great little Radio and the ATU works a treat. My antennas at home are Hustler btv-6 and long wire I use on top band and a beam. Portable I use a sotabeam dipole, it covers 20m 30m 40m. But I have build one for 80m to 10m it's a link dipole, so I don't use the ATU. I'm going portable sometime over the weekend. Best 73
@@radiosonic0007 Good deal. I will be experimenting with antennas this summer to find the best system for the radio. With the Xiegu G90 I’ll now have a tuner so I will probably try out a end fed half wave antenna. This hobby is like landscaping - never done and something else always needed (wanted). 73 Mark
Just ordered mine on the 8th of June. Hope to get up and going soon. Mark K3DEX
Hi Mark, how's the radio going ?
@@radiosonic0007 I’m loving it. Used it mostly on 20m. However, my 20m dipole was downed by wind. I have an efhw (40-20-15-10) that I plan to put up soon that will give me greater access to the world 😀
It really looks like a nice rig. Hope to see you outdoors on the air. Where did you purchase the rig from?
Hi David, I bought the xiegu g90 from sinotel in the UK. Great little radio and looking forward to going portable. The ATU is excellent. 73 Roger
Really good explanation of how the pcc sw works and interacts with the radio. One question. Does the sw allow you to rotate the vfo to select required frequency or can you type this in a Nd the enter to go to your selection. Cheerz Stuart vk3fsga I n Cockatoo Victoria Australia
Beautiful town love it and will move here when I retire my only complaint is I think it should still be a Hampshire town!!! 😎👍😎
So Nice. I use a 817 on my Channel Sailing & SoTa 📡😃⚓️
It's a great all round radio the ft-817. Looking forward to getting back out portable now the weather is getting better down south. 73
