Got one. Use it for FT-8 with an end fed, horizontal wire about 12M long and about 3M above the gnd. Works fairly well. However, I did have to reverse Txd and Rxd on the CAT connection to get my PC to see it. (using a usb 2 ttl convertor) Thanks for your video.

Thanks for the video, Mat. I bought one as a little experimental rig and I have been pleasantly surprised at how well it has worked. It has it's issues but as you point out, for the price point, it's worth it's weight!. I use it for both SSB and FT-8 QRP operation doing POTA (Parks on the Air) with great success. I recently had a SSB contact to Russia from MA in the USA, about 4300 miles, on 10m with it tied to a truck lip mounted MFJ-1979 telescopic whip tuned to 10m and a ATU-100 EXT tuner which was showing 2.1 watts out. I was disappointed that it arrived with no manual but luckily there are a bunch of YouTube videos like yours that explain some basic settings that can be adjusted for better output. The stock mic is junk but that is also easily remedied. I as I get better at CW I will also try that mode. 73 de KC1NDQ

At that time an item of that size/uSDX+ was only for a mechanical filter on an HF transceiver

Hey, your VFO goes the right way round! I'm so jealous ;-)

Another good video and I really like how you find unusual and interesting items to test and review. You have saved me from making a few expensive mistakes! Thanks.

I own a (tr)uSDX that I bought as a kit last April. It works like a charm, and have a clean output with harmonics over 40dB down. The main complaint about those Chinese versions are the poor efficiency, low power (less than 5w on 10m) and an absurd amount of harmonics on bands above 20m.
I also purchase a uSDX plus v2, and I plan to study this design and try to come out with an effective solution for the current complainants

Any chance you can open the top of the case and show where the battery is connected? Mine arrived from Banggood last week without a battery. It can't be that hard to add one.

Mat - what's the current consumption on RX and TX?
And how much does the unit weigh?
Thanks

I have got to give that radio a go! Pricewise and size makes it a natural with my 4wd Ford Ranger. It can sit right by my triband VHF/UHF radio and not take up much room. China made? Probably from a Japanese design so it may not be all that bad. I will look for it online. 73's.

[Bueromensch]

i use a smaler kind of the usdx trx, the 3 Band Version with about 5w on a FD3 Windom Ant. Works fine (cw). Made a lot of contacts with europe, even with OY1CT. Runnig with ex. 12V Accu. Best 72 & 73 de HB9LBX

[rohnkdhct]

For the money, not a bad little radio.

[davidjo]

This channel reminds me of the tv show Masterminds. Dont get it anymore, wish it would come back.

[hikingfish]

Would this make a neat little radio to listen to shortwaves? You could also make some contacts if you want to...

[andyleatherbarrow]

Can anyone give me the details of the internal battery? Mine came without and would be interested to know the voltage and capacity and how, where it is mounted.

[stevec]

Mine has some bugs in the software, in band mode, if I go up to 6M, which it's not supposed to cover, it gets hung up and won't go back down unless I switch to Freq. mode and step down a Mhz at a time. Also it can be turned down to BCB but doesn't work there either and just makes a screeching noise. I wonder if these things have been fixed?

[brandonzawaski]

I have one of these. I drilled a hole in mic and hooked up a half volt transistor to trigger ptt for remote station.

[cliveklein]

Do you think this radio could run on sdr software I know it runs on Ham Radio Deluxe...

[tomcruiser]

It is a really cool radio! Thanks for the video!
