Puxing 777

This is my second blog post about these dirt cheap handheld radios (VHF and UHF). Over the past year I’ve bought more of these radioes. This time I bought the Puxing 888 that is a better version of the Puxing 777. I dont know why people must bust expensive Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood etc radioes when you can get a inexpensive “china-radio” for under 70$! These radio are maybe not so robust, but I drop my handhelds from time to time and everyone works just perfect today. Another benefit are all the cheap accessories like earpieace, extra battery, desktop chargers etc.

Here you can read reviews on these radioes

Here is a youtube video on the radio

And here you can buy radio and accessories

RRC-1258 – A complete remote control system for Amateur Radio

I Can really recommend this product for remote control you HF / VHF / UHF Ham radio over the internet. This is much better than the “usual” solution with a computer and skype. With this setup you don’t need a computer at all. All you need is a supported ham radio like Icom IC-706, Kenwood TS-480 and Kenwood TS-2000. Later this will also support Yaesu products. You also need a internet connection at both places (radio/server location and “client” location).. So now my radio are at home, and my front on my Icom IC-706 is at my office desk..

SWR meter – how to measure your antenna

Sep 21

Posted by admin in Antennas | No Comments

A SWR meter is a very important antenna measure equipment. Everyone that have a radio transmitter need this handy instrument. So If you are an radioamateur, CB radio/walkie talkie user or maybe you have a marine VHF radio in your boat, will need this instrument to tune your antenna for the frequency you want to use. If you forget to tune your antenna, parts, or all power you transmit to your antenna will reflect back to the radio and damage your transmitter.

Under you can see a video on youtube on how to use a SWR meter.
