The Best Radio I've Ever Reviewed Got Even Better. The Choyong LC90 Gets Better Every Day
The first video I put out on this radio a few months back got some backlash. Mostly centered around the radios lack of general 1-30mhz coverage and a lack of SSB mode.
While I felt that these are nice features, I was still please with my radio. Well, a few months have past and wow, the engineers over at Choyong stayed busy. First they added general coverage from .1 to 30mhz, then they added SSB modes to hear all the Ham coverstations. Then they updated the internet radio side of things, then they added voice search, now they have removed an issue with some of their radios that apparently caused harmonics on certain freqs. While I never had an issue with it, apparently they wanted it fixed...

NewAir 3.1cu.ft. Fridge/Freezer Combo. The Studio Get's an Upgrade!
Просмотров 52912 часов назад
I spend a lot of time up here in the studio answering comments, editing videos and of course filming them too! While on my trip to Dayton Ohio for Hamvention, I came across a small microwave for like $40 with tax and decided to get it. Result? I love it but wanted a fridge to go with it. New Air had this sweet combo unit that is small, but not so small that it's useless. So far, I love it! You ...

Maxon MCB 30 CB radio. Old school, but rock solid Radio from Maxton the company everyone forgets.

We all know the heavy hitters of the 80's and 90's/ Uniden, Cobra, Realistic, and Midland, but also running around in the mix was Maxon. They made a lot of decent radios back in the day and also made a lot of the radios for Radio Shack as well. My first 40 channel radio, a Realistic TRC-444 was a Maxon inside.

    the problem with this sort of alignment is that you are not aligning to the axis of rotation of the axles, but rather aligning to the wheel itself. No runout compensation, and even stock wheels will have some imperfections, not to even mention the condition of wheels that have been in use tens of thousands of miles. So there is no way that you will be as close. This is not to say that a person with DIY tools cannot do a DIY alignment. They can, but the tools to do it are far more than just a plate, and some tape measures.

    Seems like someone has a butt hurting because they got a bad example of a great car.. My XC70 (Which is little newer) is at 138,000 miles and no problems. (because I take care of it!) The main reason these cars cost people so much money is because they think "Volvo! its great I'll buy it and forget about maintenance" then they realize if you don't maintain properly, your repairs will be 3x the cost. Which is why the end up being $500 on resale. Take care of it, and you'll be good for 200,000 easy. (barring some odd variables that aren't typical) "Oh i had to replace the brakes!" Yea, welcome to car ownership.

    I recently got into SW listening, and I agree on the HAM band (~7100) it's mostly old guys I hear. I have a handheld CB transceiver that I take when I go driving and it sounds like the same idiots I used to hear as a kid back in the 70s-80s, only fewer of them. But, at least where I live, the MW AM band is still as busy as ever, despite the efforts of some people to kill it. I subscribe to Ringway Manchester's channel and is reporting on the rapid death of AM in the UK, showing video of abandoned AM transmitter sites, some repurposed as cell towers. Let's hope that never happens in the US.

Simply power the handset with a USB power bank and set up shop in home, office or hotel room that's not too far away from car/truck (& control box, antenna etc). Just be sure not to run down car battery overnight!

    Thanks for this informative video. I’d also suggest that you check your air filter first. My carburetor was clean but a dirty air filter was keeping my mower from starting.

    I agree that is why I still have my Radio Shack DX-440. They are fun to listen to also.

    @FarpointFarms A BIRDIE is a signal that’s generated inside the radio and mixes with actual frequencies you are trying to listen to - sounds like two stations transmitting on top of each other and makes an annoying whistle blocking the program you are trying to listen to

      @@FarpointFarms one other point I left out the radio doesn’t put out this interference on every frequency but just some that aren’t filtered out like current local oscillator mixed with particular intermediate frequencies and that special combination makes the birdie irregular and annoying another example a cheaper scanner will also have this quirk so I suppose depending on use case you may encounter depending on the design of the receiver and the proper shielding characteristics. There maybe a Wikipedia article on birdies and the math used to determine where and when a birdie will show up. I’m glad I could give you a starting point into the quirks of radios designed for our information and entertainment consumption. Have a good day

    I can’t understand why anyone would want a shortwave receiver or transceiver without sideband.

    • @FarpointFarms
      @FarpointFarms 3 дня назад

      For non-ham users (99.7% of users) SSB is not a feature they want or need. No commercial shortwave stations broadcast on sideband, nor do AM for FM stations. That said, for the .3% of us that complained, Choyong added full band coverage and SSB modes.

      @@FarpointFarms I really love my sideband so I can listen to the hurricane net , those hams on 10 meters and freebanders north of 11 meters from my home in Michigan. Radio is a hobby of discovery and I don’t like being on the outside looking in.

    There is probably a school of radio enthusiasts who just love traditional radio and really don't consider internet radio to be real radio. I recently bought a radio and decided to go with the Tecsun PL-880. It's a terrific radio with very few shortcomings and does just what I want it to do. I did consider the LC90 in this decision, but I just didn't feel that the LC90 is a solid performer on the traditional radio end for my needs. Not having a radio stand and a logical location for the radio jacks is also a deal killer. I wanted a radio that would be very useful during times of emergency by being independent of the internet and cell towers. Though SSB is popular with ham operators, there is more on SSB than just hams. You can also pull in aircraft and air traffic control (ATC), ships at sea, military, spy network, clandestine, and pirate transmissions. Occasionally some shortwave broadcast stations use SSB as well. The LC90 is a nice beginning for an integrated radio. It can only get better and may someday be a radio I want to own. I would also like to see a base station radio in the future. For now it may be better to own two radios, a solid internet radio and a solid traditional radio until a better integrated radio is made.

      They are really missing the boat on Internet Radio. It's the RUclips of radio. Anyone can broadcast for free and reach a worldwide audience. I've been "On the Air" since late 1999 and still enjoy it to this day. So many channels out there and those don't include all the smaller mom and pop AM stations scattered around the USA that I would never be able to hear over the air. It's what sold me on this radio and it's why I continue to feel it's the best radio I've reviewed.

    I bought one. If I have any complaints, it’s not with the radio, it’s the instruction manual. Haven’t downloaded the updates yet. But I’m anxious to get them. Great radio. I love listening to “Old-time Radio” classics.
