Video

From Newark com. i just googled it. i did run it on win10 in the video, then it prob runs on 11 too.

Hi, thanks for the reply. When I google from the UK the Tenma number I don’t get any links to software. I was really interested to understand the battery test feature more. Does it generate proper report data and graphs?

@@RemoteInstrumentsi hope it allows the links https :// www farnell com / software / 4155423.zip the lijnk from newark goes to farnell .. will its all the same. (remove the spaces)

@@TonyAlbus Thank you. I just looked again. I see it on CPC and there is no link but when I went to the Farnell site, there is a small link to the software. Thank you for this. Do you think the Tenma unit is of the same quality as the Siglent load?

@@RemoteInstruments The Tenma is made by Korad, the Korad is good.. Siglent is better but the price reflects that also. But the Electronicload from Siglent is not their best product, what i mean here is. the software and device it self is not that developed like their scopes or spectrum analyzers. you could find it somewhat limited, with more effort is would be so much better. and then that price is a bit high. But if all your other stuff is Siglent, you would go for it for sure.

Hi, i did not know that ws possible... i have not done that myself. (maybe Jared from @nearFarMedia ) has done that before

Thanks, i think you are right, because my CN-102 is also L form this series.

@@TonyAlbus thank you for the great video. It helped me in calibrating my meter :)

Thanks! .. yes that happens :))

Hi Marco, if i remember correct, the first beam was from Poland, but it broke so now he has one from GB .. this one now also broke... its very windy there in FR

@@TonyAlbus Thanks Tony, but if you remember I wanted to know where you purchased the high wind kit...73, IU0QVA

i hope they compensate you correctly. BangUgood is not the best in support on broken stuff... usulay they give you 40% and you take it becouse sending back cost you a fortune.. thay are bad.

Yes it was bad, see my TA-0412: czcams.com/video/W03w-dh7qgY/video.html / i hope they compensate you correctly. BangUgood is not the best in support on broken stuff... usulay they give you 40% and you take it becouse sending back cost you a fortune.. thay are bad.

Its on his way back... i stick to my needles without any cpu and dc converters.

@@TonyAlbus Respect. Needles are quiet and that's what we need when the coax is going through the box! 73 and thanks for showing us!

Thank you! .. i have requested the latest firmware for you, i do not know if they respond this time, becouse i did not buy it. usualy the support is only for the item you bought. so lets see

They replied already, Can you make a picture of your screen with Software and Firmware version and email it to me. (see about section)

@@TonyAlbus Hello I have sent the photo by email THANKS in advance 😁 Kurt

@@k.w.3620 Yes received it, i forwareded it to EastTesater, we keep in touch by email when i know more

@@TonyAlbus Thanks👍

Hi, yes that would be very interesting to know, if you can share after to tested, that would be amazing. R71E is great, the sound is so much warmer than the new SDR devices. Somehow the ear knows its digital and i get tired fast (even my FT-dx10), while on the R70/71 and 751 i can listen a lot longer. The Icom is a keeper!

@@TonyAlbus I'm happy to report that I did not find even the slightest QRM murmur internally generated by the little Surecom SW-28, scanning from 100kHz to 30 MHz, 1 kHz step (took me a while 😄) with the Icom R71E (pre-amp ON, noise floor around 0.05uV (around -133 dBm)) and antenna connection to a 50 Ohm dummy load (MFJ-264). And yes, you are right Tony, the R71 is just fantastic, especially on SSB ... sweet! I have it connected to an audio DSP Timewave DSP-599zx (which is just about as old as the Icom LOL) and the combo's performance is almost as good as the best of todays gear with all their fancy IF level DSPs 😏! Of course I had the DSP disconnected for this test.

@@j-mlapinno4827 Thanks great, thanks for sharing.. LOL i also have a Timewave on my R71 :) great setup sir!

Thank you David, yes i have it now permanent on the Korad, for big loads i use nom my Big Korad, so no need swapping the pcb now :)

Great to know some are good! thanks for sharing. It was from 3 viewers and that was the reason i rechecked mine again. On my FT-450 i did not notice, on my more sensitive FT-dx10 it showed.

@@TonyAlbus Tony, upon more stringent testing with my sBitx V3 waterfall I have to agree with you, it is making terrible QRM that I never noticed before. I will make a attempt to stop the QRM or at least reduce it to acceptable level. Thanks for the video.

Sorry to hear that, but don't buy at BangUgood. Terrible service when somthing breaks,they will prob now offer you a 40% refund or less, which you prob take because shipping back is too expensive and you have a broken device. In the description of the video i have item links, i usualy bay ham stuff at AliExpress the RadioHameStore see links. i hope they solve it properly for you. i worked with Banggood before but am removing item links, i maybe forgot to do here i usualy suffix the link with BG and did not here.

@@TonyAlbus B.U.G. That's brilliant. I buy far more from AliX than BG. I'll remember. I still have not heard from 'Plaza'. Thanks.

Thanks! .. with a bit more effort it would have been great

Yes all active components are on the display unit, incl the cpu, shielding that would maybe improve it indeed.

Yes a shame indeed, maybe if you shield the display and maybe encase the RF-part .. but i was not going to risk that. And on top i am mostly using the Daiwa's they are great!

Was later thinking i could have connected it to my SpectrumAnalizer, but i have already send it back. The display does most the active processing, so maybe make a shielding between that and the RF part would make a good difference.

If the noise is around a specific frequency, or at a low frequency the Tiny SA could miss it if it isn't set up to sample a narrow enough frequency step.

Yes the UT61E, nice sir!

Thanks, i tested on battery, did not want to inject more switchmode noise from the charger. the usb is to charge and not like a DC plug that it switches over to external power... so its using in both modes the same battery-dc-converter system.

Hi, if the original meter is found, it will simply cover the existing holes, with a washer behind its nicely stuck. not much harm has been done to the casing.

Thanks, yes is was bad...

Yes you can go as far s you want with these things... start with 3 digits, then 4 then 5 etc etc :))

.. LOL, yes a bit. indeed one good one should cover all your needs.

Yes maybe by putting an extra compartment between the display/cpu and the RFtab could make it much better. but i already send it back for refund.

@@TonyAlbus OK Tony, widziałem twój komentarz na Ali. Nie wiedziałem że ten SWR-meter jest taki drogi. Za taką cenę powinien obsługiwać minimum 1kW mocy. Wtedy warto spróbować w jakiś sposób usunąć szkodliwe zakłócenia . Dobrze zrobiłeś że go odesłałeś . Pozdrawiam

@@Radiotechnik Yes i send it back, and have already received a refund... lucky this time

Yes maybe but not willing to do those modifications, I just like a refund. I will be using may Daiwa anyway

Thanks! yes i have that but am also 'blessed' with many neighbours around me with solar panels.

@@TonyAlbus Maybe your next video.....Tackling Local QRM 😳

Precies!

Hi, Yes it prob is. receiving signals that go trough the meter are in 0.1 uV and below, i know now, i don't want any processor close by. The box is nicely shielded but the distortion source is inside. If one could not send it back because the return period has ended, it would maybe make sense to try to shield the display/cpu unit. good point, thanks!

Yes if you looking for a basic but powerful Electronic load, you get lots of power for your money. The KEL20xx series is also very interesting and a bit more advanced.

Thank you!

Yes can happen in a sec.

@@TonyAlbus looking at thos screens 🤷🏻‍♂️ i hope you can purchase a E4407B or a siglent 😇

@@ajingolk7716 The video is 3 years old, by now i am very happy with a Siglent SSA3032X-Plus :)

@@TonyAlbus thanks god now you should re-make it with the new equipement 😎😁🤞

Thanks, yes the 'limited' space, holds me inline a bit... bigger lab means more stuff, now i am forced to make a selection and sell some. to make place for new funds and devices

Yes your comment is spot on... lots of power at Korad for your money, but not always that userfriendly in frontpanel, software a bit dated. but it all works and prob. for ages they way it is build.

Thanks you, yes a real addict here, thank you for watching!

Yes indeed :) The DMMcheckPlus is good enough for me. have a look at that.

@@TonyAlbus, no need. I have several Vref cards that were pulls from HP lab multimeters, and I do contract work for the government lab that produces Josephson Junction reference systems. But we all seek perfection in precision for our own benches. It's in our blood.

@@johnwest7993 Oh wow!!! that is great John.... oh yes it is.

Thanks! akso very low risk if you find one second hand. they are build rock solid

Thanks, great you found it, yes it is very very frustrating i remember... thanks for the sub.

Thank you for this important comment, you are the 2nd to notice this and mention it in the comments, this for sure needs more investigation on my side. i did not test that. i am still using my Daiwa myself. i will test more and make a new video when needed and Pin your comment.

Yes mine i bad too. 1.766 MHz / 3.531 / 7.065

Hi, please comment on a related video, this is an other subject here. your question can be useful for other, but they will never find it as this is the wrong video. Your question. low power low rimple linear, highpower switchedmode but you will have more ripple

Hi, i sold mine, if you add 'teardown' to your search on youtube, you will see the inside of the device you looking for.

Thanks! 73

Thanks for your feedback, i am happy to see most of it as it is what i want my channel to be. - short answer: check whats left on my bench after a while. - long answer below, how i make a selection 1. The first filter i have is, if there is no ooh ahh factor, it wil not endup in a video, maybe in a very rare case for other reasons. (i reject lots of items that are unreleted in my view) 2. i do the Hands-On videos so we can see the usability over stone cold component level. Super well designed A-component devices can still have terrible user interface. - Usability first 3. if an item is not usefull for me, it can still be very usefull for someone else, that is not up to me. everyone has different needs and uses it different. 4. if you want to know its useful for me, simply checkmy bench if it is still there after a while. i have 3 or more times equipment then can fit on my bench.. so if its there i prob like it. Thanks again for your time and effort to give me feedback and ofcourse, thank you for watching and hope to see you next time. And about the soldering iron... i am mainly using my old Weller. the little repairs i do on video, you will see that. for mobile i use now finaliy something more modern active pen thingy

@@TonyAlbus I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Wow! Thank you a lot for your effort and help! I'm yet considering to build it on Arduino as an alternative but haven't decided yet. Still too less time ;D Thank you! Kindly regards! All the best!

Some device can sure have an upgrade. good luck with your project

@@TonyAlbus I removed the NEO-6M and connected it to the PC to see it work and it receives better than any of the others I've tried with 8 GPS satellites in green plus one called WAAS S135 that I've never seen before.

@stevec5000 waas is sbas, satalite dgps

Yes you can never have too many :)
