... I think that is an unfair generalization. I have the NA-701 which others have mentioned. It performs well in comparison with other dual band antennas of...
Wouldn't the connections to the return loss bridge act as a ground? I've done testing using a battery powered AA-200 antenna analyzer but even that is big...
... Ignore that. I misread my writing and the comparison was with the NA-401 not the 701. The NA-701 does perform similar to dual band rubber ducks from Yaesu....
Just got a new cable from 409shop. It's the USB cable which has extensions pluggable for different rigs and conectors. I was hoping to do a test to see if I...
Hi Julian. Thanks for your interest and comments. The ground side of the antenna was probably grounded through the coax shield to the instrument, but I don't...
Just an update. Just borrowed a WinXP machine and used the driver supplied and works fine. So it's a case of having a suitable driver that will work with this...
I certainly agree with your main point. My concern was that you were suggesting that Nagoya antennas were not worth buying. I see no evidence to suggest that...
Oh well, I'll play a bit more in due course. Since I have it workingon a Win XP machine I'll use that for now. But I don't like being beaten, so Win 7/64 must...
I have made some measurements on my UV-3R. At first I have measured the RF power with a power meter (HP 436A with a 8481A/8498A power sensor/attenuator), and...
I have the usb cable from 409 and cant get it to work. All other china radios i got i can prog. But when i try this radio it says: failed to connect radio....
The tests I ran did not involve antenna efficiency or radiation, only the impedance match of the antenna to 50 ohms. I do not believe that grounding would...
Hey Willysjeep1947. When I first tried to connect with my DB9 cable I forgot to program the com port. Once I programed that in to the software it work...
Hi all. I just received my Yaesu FBA-37 OEM AA battery case to use on the UV-3R. Originally I tried the aftermarket AA battery cases sold on Ebay. They worked...
This might help: <http://ha4bf.ham-radio-op.net/uv-3r/UV-3R_cable_working.jpg> Looks like it uses separate pins for Tx and Rx data when programming. Grant,...
I have uploaded the file to my website and posted a link to it in the links section. As the file is 6+ MBs it cannot be uploaded directly to the group. ...

Dear All, I'm having the same problem with my UV-3R latest model with the 18m menue firmware. First I thougth this is due to the deviation of the received...
My UV-3R is on its way from Hong Kong to my home. When I get it I will make some output power and harmonics measurements with my E8285A. I will also check...
Hey Bob. I got the OEM Yaesu VX-3R battery case yesterday and all my rechargeable batteries fit. Most of them didn't fit with the aftermarket cases. I am going...
Hello Andy, I did not make that measurement because I do not have a return loss bridge (still missing in my shack...). I am very interested in your measurement...
I don't think people in general have anything to worry about. Perhaps Tom has a bad one. But using the extremely crude method of tuning one receiver to the...
I've just done a test to compare my Wouxun UVD1P and it's pretty much the same as the Baofeng. It would of course be nice to see results that corraborate the ...
Hello all , i'm waiting for mine Baofeng which should arrive soon. I've got question about FM radio broadcast range. is there a way to go under FM radio...
Does anybody spotted what mcu is employed in this design? In case it is known to more people than it's manufacturer, it would be nice to play around with the...
After read some discussion about volume mods that involve changing the value of feedback resistor, theres some disadvantages like the FM audio will be lower...
