Interesting content fred .. if possible perhaps more of the same but listening to the ham bands calling frequencies .
Keep up the good work and 73s

[valvemonky]

it works well for air band plus you can use it to listen to the radio armature repeater on the ISS when in range

[garyh]

Just picked one up for £6.. mostly to listen to aircraft and alike whilst out in the car.

[bryanplog]

The air audio on this one sounds a heck of a lot better than mine.

I use mine with a Nagoya 771 antenna, pulls in a lot more traffic than the standard antenna. Make sure you get a genuine Nagoya though.

Amazon sells a 2w, 8ohm speaker. It is easy to install. There is a YouTube video by “the lonesome tech”, with an informative install. He’s all thumbs and ham-fisted, but he gets it done.
Cheers from Texas 😊

Frid in the shed I learn lot from you about bying cb radios and antennas for cb radios and power supplys for cb radios

[jeffkorenman]

Not a gimmick - hands down the best for scanning the airband

[MrCofresipirate]

Excellent video just purchased one and subscribed….73s

[stefanp]

8.33 kHz step and bandwith should be better setting

[LJ.]

Can you use the charger as a power supply so you don't only depend on the battery?

[sws]

I'm new to all this . What type of connection does the antehave to be male or female? To fit quansheng uvk5 ? Please

[adriangreen]

Hi Fred great video, I just wanted to pick your brain, I have a 32 ft mast that is guy roped, if I put up a Sirio 827 can I guy rope directly to the antenna if I nylon rope, or will it effect the antenna when the nylon gets wet, keep up the good work ade Sheffield

[PCEngineeruk]

Fred, does this do the 8.25Khz step that airband uses these days?

[dazzp]

What antenna do you recommend for these for 10/11 mtr RX? Cause mines as deaf as a post, the stock antenna are what they are fred

[optscep]

Will the telescopic antenna work on CB and SSB to transmit ?

[johnoneill]

Newbie here, does it come fully programmed for Uk plus weather channels

[cockneybk]

Love listening to AB. And personally I love the spectrum. IsThis the EGZ 0.22 firmware?

[MevRB]

Useless, , start from the beginning as in from open box how to set a range.

[onemorething]

When I listen to AB I like to get the Plane number and plug it in and you can see exactly where it's on map and where it's heading
