Military UHF Two Way Radio Range Test - TXQ G63

[stewpot]

Nice clean audio, not bad for two watts! Also happy to finally see radios with C type USB ports!

Ringway Manchester is the absolute man. Great videos, great northern accent, great radios. Nothing over complicated, just good content.

I got one of these recently and love it. The fact that you can change antennas is huge IMO. Thanks for mentioning the software, I was unaware it existed. A cool feature of these radios is that if you are on channel 1, power off, hold the up and xmit buttons while turning on the radio, you can program each channel (one at a time) by keying up another radio close by. It even decodes the CTCSS or DCS and is shockingly fast. If have the radio on channel 16 and hold the channel up button while powering on radio, it will turn off voice prompts, change language to Chinese. If you want to turn voice prompts back on, channel select beeps differently at channel 1.

For some reason, I find this type of video addictive. I don’t have a collection as big as yours yet, but if you keep dropping content like this, I will have despite the fact that 70cm in the Luton area is probably deader than where you are!

The audio and signal back to your house is very good cant tell the distance between the locations.
another good test Lewis just need some other operators to help you on air.

it looks amazing. I need to get my hands on one of them

Great video demonstrating how well it gets out. I have an issue with it, I cannot hear anyone getting back on the same frequency. I use it on PMR bands.😒

Just ordered *another* one of these branded by Jianpai - IT HAS A CLEAR OUTER CASE so I could not resist! Been using my Abbree version on the mountain bike as it seems pretty study and has survived a couple of drops and plenty of light rain over the past few months.

Great video. Another one to take info from. Great work as normal.

Smart kit Lewis! ideal for many applications

Thanks for posting Lewis... I've been seeing slightly different versions of this randomly on the tic toc part of YouTube, but they were advertised as 1, 000 mile "internet/cell phone" radios. But they sure didn't know how to try to sell to US because they contained NO viable info ! I've seen one of two on China sites, again with basically no info. I think Radioddity has a multi mode SW receiver similar to this. An internet only radio is no use to me. But this one is an actual RF transceiver. I gather one could attach a better antenna if wanted.
👍

when you have no one else to talk too, you end up radio checking with your self and a recording device. I too have no one to test with so I have to default to keeping a radio next to a vox tape recorder....one is the loneliest number that you ever

When I see radios like this I wish I had an UHF repeater nearby. But as of now I know that they will stay unused on the shelf.

Nice video, but wouldn't it have been better to test going further out until failure?

[vwiltis]

Neat little things but "military" is a bit of a stretch. The USMC used modified FRS radios for a while, then moved on to Moto XTS2500Rs and they
wrecked /drowned them too.

[matthewdavies]

The stock antenna is good for UHF. The standard 5 inch Motorola whip with the ball on the top works just a bit better. The radio takes a UHF only SMA female antenna.

Abbree also brand these as the AR-63 - about £21+vat

I've got a similar brand of these except where it says txq on the ones in the video, mine have no writing there. They're allegedly nationwide range. Guess how far they even a half a mile. Idk if there's something I need to do. Someone mentioned something about repeaters but I don't see any specific instructions on making the range longer in the owners manual.
