I just saw this on their site: So, if you bought a radio from them in the past, you can get $30 off.....wow. I know they had to order 500 pieces to get the private label, so I wonder how long till they sell out. Available Shipped to: US, EU, UK, AU, CA, JP, MX, NZ, etc. Early Bird Offer (Aug...

This is made by Qixiang (Anytone), labeled for Radioddity. Not a clone, the real deal.

I think the Chinese generators are reliable. But the inverters are not clean like a Honda. You can't go wrong with a real Honda, they just cost a lot more. I have several gensets from US, China and one Honda. The Honda cost $1600 and the Chonda was $400. The backup beast, is a US made Briggs...

What you have, sounds like a high quality unit, without a doubt. The Champion units are actually one of the better Chinese clones. They do have a 5% THD alternator and have overvoltage protection, in the event of a high going AVR failure.

The criteria for HF radio and generators and computers are as you know, stability and RFI. What affects the these factors are a few things. Generator head windings, spark plug/boot type and any control electronics. The Firman's are not great for stability/clean waveform. They are cost cut...

How did they get everyone in the same room? FREE FOOD! That's about all that will come from that banquet.

I should have mentioned, I tested the HG MRF477...it sucks, don't waste your time and money.

The MOSFET does not bias the same and you will need to convert. They do work.... I saw 24W or so PEP w/ the 520 and around 30 or 34W PEP with the Z24, I can't remember the exact numbers There is bias drift with heat and I do see output change when it heats up, but they do work. Beats the hell...

The Firebird experiment. It has been reworked several times since these were taken. The transistors in this photo didn't work out, nor did their AB mod. I used a solid state AB switch and the transistors that were from the factory for the best result. I had tried some bigger devices in it too...

I am intimately familiar with it. I have two of them, that I have completely redone my way. I have one that does 100 watts but very clean and the other around 200. I fitted bigger devices in the 200 watter. One is a Firebird, the other is a DSS.

Here is the schematic. I saw that yours has the AB mod installed. It would be the same as the 1010SB. Most of the component values are not on the diagram.

The new Pro's and N2 short, smoke the older versions.

Yeah... what he said.

I have replaced the MRF477 with the 1969, CB20, IRF520, IRF530 and IRFZ24. If you need CB20, I have them. The best so far, is the IRFZ24, but you have to do some circuit changes and is a bit of work. I can't recall which I have i my MK1 Jackson. Either a 520 or 24.

It is not a valid test, when the setups are not the same. The antennas and locations were not the same. That is the minimum criteria.

That is not a valid test. It must be equal in every way.

I emailed them too. Frankly, if the radio is in as new condition, you would have had to break the seals anyway. You do have a warranty, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I thought that was odd as well. That has not been the case in any of my radios from them, so I asked them about this. SL
