www.miklor.com/uv5r/ has all the fixes just ran mine up and got it to work again

Going from memory Robb. Just tried it and yep loaded the wrong oem driver for the prolific chipset

Dont let windows auto select the driver, you have to tell it the one to use . You might have to try a couple of different versions till you get it right. Then stop windows from auto updating it

Actually the problem is, some versions of windows dosnt like the counterfeit cable and spits the dummy. You can usually dick around and get it work .Got to get the USB port to recognize it before you do anything else! Haven't programmed mine for a few years. Dont even know if my lastest version...

Robb said it. HF radios are not AM audio monsters but you can get acceptable audio out of them. Set your carrier at about 15 to 20 watts.and go from there. Dont try to modulate anywhere near 100 watts.

It does occur. Highly unlikely for the next 6 years though!

Thinking about it for a minute ! The double molex pins actually have more surface area than a single blade style plug and would handle more current.

Dont know about that antenna . I fit chokes to all my antennas. It's easier to put one on and not need it than to put the antenna up and find you need one. If your coax is radiating (cmc) it will cause more interference to you and your close neighbors , no matter how clean the rest of...

Heavy your missing the point. YOU CAN NOT USE THESE CW NARROW FILTERS FOR SSB OR ANY OTHER VOICE MODE.it doesnt work it's to narrow and makes the audio garbled.

Sorry Robb prize goes to CK

Started getting reports on my old Yaseu ft-100d "Fming on 6m ssb" big connectors good quality blade fuses and holders .The fix was to solder the crimps . So like I said common problem not just Icom or the mollex plugs.

Near vertical incidence skywave, or NVIS, is a skywave radio-wave propagation path that provides usable signals in the range betweengroundwave and conventional skywave distances—usually 30–400 miles (50–650 km). It is used for military and paramilitarycommunications, broadcasting,[1] especially...

Second the 1.8 and 500 unless you are into cw. Anything less than 1.8 is a pain on SSB. You might want to consider The high stability option before the 270hzs for CW Me personally ,I have a radio with adjustable filters, I find myself listening to ssb on 2.1 and only narrow up if conditions...

6 year old Thread....

Not really enough information to make an informed decision . So ok !assuming 20m at 32 ft high. .No feedline radiation ( that can be a real bitch on a g5rv) . The antenna is in the clear and is orientated the correct way. The horizontal will be a much quieter antenna and will work very...

I like the glass fuses !,as long as they are good quality soldered through type, and you solder the crimps that is. Seen this problem on many different brand radios not just Icom. The cheap nasty fuses you get from the likes of Kmart don't help. Had a friend who had the problem, he soldered...

lesson not learnt then .It's 200 hz.

As far as cycles go 24 sucked. Predictions for cycle 25 are even worse..We might not even get one!!!

This would be like second nature if the US updated to metric!
