Youtube comments of Fred in the Shed (@CB-RADIO-UK).

  1. ARGGHHH how could they T bone a SW20 :-(
    856
  2. Should have done a in car sound test. That T5 motor would have sounded a lot sweeter on the boil than the D5.
    753
  3. Sorry its not for me. Ford have lost their edge on design.
    106
  4. Best 124 review that ive seen on Youtube Thanks.
    73
  5. Glad iam not the only one walking around looking at peoples antennas LOL
    56
  6. Lewis run over and give it a good hard boot and see if any men with guns come running out :-)
    52
  7. When you think of Manchester you dont always think of countryside. Nice photography and video work.
    51
  8. I rem when sat phones were HUGE things. These look just like a normal smart phone. Amazing.
    50
  9. I think i prefer the A class sedan.
    48
  10. Yep at starting price of £29k (inc gov grant) there going to sell like hot cakes.............NOT.
    43
  11. Great tip on the clapping.  That makes watching the video worth it for me.  Thanks.
    42
  12. When meeting women its best to hold back on the radio subject. Most do not get it at all. Great video Lewis
    35
  13. Its very sad but i think amateur radio has had its peak and now dropping off year by year. As others have mentioned it does not capture the younger generations interest. Its simply too much effort. All the hams i talk to (on 11 meters) grew up with the CB boom of the early 80's and when that went awful they progressed to the amateur side. Alas we are all now growing older and dying off. I ve encouraged a few younger people on to CB but many soon become bored that there are not people on all the time. They have grown up with instant internet based com like Xbox live and Skype. Ok iam shutting up now as i sound like my Dad. Nice video Lewis. Good subject.
    33
  14. Nah it will be like those "beatles" it will never catch on.
    32
  15. I love the drone footage. Very nicely done.
    27
  16. My sisters school friend lost her brother in this crash. Jeff Benton. Lived just around the corner from us in Potters Bar. The father sadly never really got over it. Very sad.
    26
  17. Lewis the drone footage is amazing. Very impressive.
    22
  18. For me the A35 Sedan.
    21
  19. Thr budget on these programs are huge. I could totally believe that a researcher bought a nice MR2 for say £2k just to wreck it. :-( ;-(
    18
  20. Very good review. I liked the way you really explain the details of the engine etc.
    17
  21. You never know when some extra is required.
    15
  22. That is a proper shed Lewis. It has a letterbox as well so you Amazon stuff can be delivered straight into the shack. The misses never need know :-)
    15
  23. I am getting a thumbnail for the R5e
    15
  24. Great video Lewis. I will have to see if there is a 446 net around my QTH.
    14
  25. I was amazed how quiet it was inside at 150 MPH.
    14
  26. I mean it does not look half bad really.
    14
  27. Lewis the sunset footage is truly amazing. Looks like its straight from SKY. The stock antenna did really well. Great video mate.
    14
  28. These antennas have good recommends. I had something the same for 446 MHz. Like you i placed the coil outside the pole but your supposed to put the pole through it. I am sure people will let you know (did on my vid) Nice vid bro. Take care.
    13
  29. I am sure its a fine car but it look likes a "one hung low" BMW China knock off.
    12
  30. Good to see old Delboy got a mention from Ofcom. Interesting stuff lewis
    12
  31. Kinda spooky esp at night. Really interesting stuff Lewis and great drone footage.
    12
  32. Wow look almost military spec. Awesome.
    12
  33. Thats really fast. Cannot wait till you can drive a Duster on test.
    11
  34. I drive a number of new mini type vans with hard plastic on the doors and within a few months they pick up scratches. They also are more prone to squeaking as the inside warms up an a cold morning. I can forgive it on a van but not on a £30k VW. My 1996 SE Polo had better door cards.
    11
  35. Awesome drone footage. Nicely done
    10
  36. Wow these vids are like a full documentary. Great stuff Lewis
    10
  37. Kinda looks Welsh ? These boxes are becoming rare. Pity as they are part of English history. When we were teenagers we used to cram inside them on a wet rainy day back from the chippy. Trouble is they often smelled of wee Arrgghhh.
    10
  38. Amazing whats around us all.
    9
  39. Well done Lewis its turned out great. You should be proud of yourself. Like a mini radio museum.
    9
  40. Oh crap I ve been monitoring aircraft for years on AM . Nice video Lewis.
    8
  41. Both radios are total eye candy :-)
    8
  42. Great review. I think i prefer the non led lights
    8
  43. Nice full detailed review in not ideal conditions. Well done.
    8
  44. Thanks man. Ive been doing a bit of plane spotting with flight radar 24. Its a geeky as anything :-)
    8
  45. The older radios normally sound better as they tend to use a larger speaker. Good test bud.
    7
  46. Awesome detailed review
    7
  47. I rem Rabbit comms. Never took off. Great vid.
    7
  48. Just a couple of years ago we were all like "wow awesome touchscreen control, cool" but now we are "thank god for real buttons". I think things like climate control on the screen only has grown very old quickly.
    7
  49. The 689 sounds pretty good in the car. What a great looking CB radio shop. Lewis what are those LED lights stuck to the top of your windscreen ?
    7
  50. Network radio is getting bigger. Nice looking handheld.
    7
  51. Thats for sharing Lewis. It makes sense well explained.
    7
  52. He should stick to CB.
    6
  53. Thats an impressive bit of kit. It way past time that someone has made this. Look forward to some testing.
    6
  54. Always interesting to see China copies. Good vid bud
    6
  55. What total twats to do such thing.
    6
  56. That creaky seat would drive me nuts and I am only 30 secs in. I think i prefer the Duster as it a bit more honest not trying to look premium.
    6
  57. Smart design with front speaker. Cant believe how small it is till your finger came in shot. very compact.
    6
  58. Nice one Lewis. One of my subs asked me to try one of these.
    6
  59. Creeping over £30 k in the UK just seems too much when you can have a i20N and 6k change.
    6
  60. George were beginning to sound like our Dads. LOL. You got to get the younger people into radio before we die off. These network devices just might be the answer. Hope your doing well buddy.
    6
  61. Nice paint job Lewis. Happy Easter mate. Good video. :-)
    6
  62. MR2's have not reached classic status yet in the uk. I traded in my pristine Mk1 AW11 40k miles for around £1300. Video's of the car on my channel.
    5
  63. Oh yeah never thought of that.
    5
  64. Thanks for this review.  Its one of the most complete that I have ever seen.
    5
  65. I would not want to be on any of those planes LOL. Great video.
    5
  66. Great result. Well done bud.
    5
  67. LOL once again ive got a very sim idea for a video and you beat me to it. Great video Lewis. :-)
    5
  68. Thanks Lewis for the shout and the link. Ive returned the fav by adding a card to my own T1 review linking this video. I look forward to your range test results as i know you had better results than me.
    5
  69. I never knew his Lewis. I might have to listen. Cheers
    5
  70. These have always interested me. Code for under cover spies. Very James bond. Good video bud.
    5
  71. Great drone footage.
    5
  72. Wow Lewis where do you find them.. Never heard of this before. Great video bud.
    5
  73. Nice to get him his callsign after all these years. Good on you Lewis. The M7 has caused a debate with many saying they were pirate signs. Now we know the truth. :-)
    5
  74. Best review ive watched on the Model 3.
    5
  75. Great price and looks well built.
    5
  76. Wow i want it in the shed. Gonna need a bigger shed !
    5
  77. This one £1650..http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-MR2-2-0-GT-T-Bar-1998-Rev-5-UK-Model-/142155611466?hash=item2119227d4a:g:q5UAAOSwaB5Xvcnp
    4
  78. The GT-5 looks better.  Jury is out on that darker display though.  It looks nice but I wonder how well it reads in low light without the back light ?
    4
  79. Its normally fine upfront with the side windows up you prob wont notice any wind. However in the rear you will get blasted at speed.
    4
  80. Awesome video Lewis. Really interesting facts. The darn thing is just huge. Esp liked the talking into dish experiment. First rate.
    4
  81. A Great review from smooth talking Thomas. First and best review on the net.
    4
  82. Hope your starting to feel better bud.
    4
  83. The best CB shops all started up in the early 80's but most were long gone before the end of the decade. Guess its mostly all online now other than Ham radio shops.
    4
  84. These products are just getting better and better Good video bud.
    4
  85. The golden years were some good times Lewis but there were plenty of idiots that came on and ruined it totally. :-(
    4
  86. Same engine they put in the MR2 AW11. Sounds awesome 6.5 k onwards.
    4
  87. Nice looking radio. I wish they would provide a program cable though. Good video bud.
    4
  88. Woah 75 miles
    4
  89. Its odd they did not tune them to PMR for the UK. Maybe they wanted more channels stored on the radio. Pity because for the price they are a total steal.
    4
  90. Thanks for the info on the freq's. I have to be honest i hardly ever turn my scanner on. All i get are aircraft and London buses.
    4
  91. Its different for sure. Not sure if i want one but i can see its gadget appeal. Great video Lewis.
    4
  92. Pity they are not WiFi. Ive no issue with Network radios and your channel was the first that i heard it from.
    4
  93. Another well thought out video Lewis. I think this is a great addiction to the radio hobby.
    4
  94. Then came the Mk1 MR2 and game over for the then Bertone X/19
    4
  95. Hi. In the UK the base model is only a little more than the new Duster. Which do you prefer ? Thanks.
    4
  96. I think i would love the car for about 6 months but the cheap feeling platic interior would start to bother me. Esp when i got a ride in a mates Kia which was half the price and had a nicer interior.
    4
  97. Love these secret type videos Lewis. Nice to learn something.
    4
  98. I am not sold on the colour dash. Maybe if i saw it for real. I would prefer carbon effect capping.
    4
  99. I think over 150 MPH from a family car on a public road is plenty fast.
    4
  100. Quick enough to 200 KMH would be fine for me in the UK. He didn't even have to raise his voice.
    4
  101. I ve read a fair bit about this bug. Whats a great story. Pesky Russians LOL.
    4
  102. Very impressive and a great video. What colour was the Duster you drove. Ta.
    4
  103. Cheers lewis the LED one made me crease up LOL
    3
  104. Once again such a clear display on that radio.  Audio is also spot on.
    3
  105. 6 watts on UHF is pretty good.
    3
  106. That is so small. Amazing.
    3
  107. Arrhhh that frigging mono brow !!!!!!!!!!!
    3
  108. Looks like a great mod.
    3
  109. Yeah seems about right.  My stepson got some Action Man watch radio's a few years back.  They did transmit and receive but the speaker was so small you could not make out any audio.  Pity the other one did not work to see if they would receive.  Nice review Lewis and a nice retro look Casio on the wrist as well mate.
    3
  110. It lives. Cant believe it came back to life.
    3
  111. Baofeng were one of the first affordable DR radios. I still think they are good value but others are catching up. Good video buddy
    3
  112. Nothing wrong with a Shed Shack. Main issue is dampness during the winter. Even being 100% waterproof inside metal surfaces / objects can suffer condensation due to temp changes so you will have to keep it slightly heated and vented. A couple of solar panels on the roof / batterys and a 12 volt inverter could sort out your power. Unless you have a proper loft conversion with windows etc loft shacks are a nightmare to keep the temp balanced. Too hot or too cold etc. Anyway the shed will keep you busy. Nice video.
    3
  113. Wow a video a day. Lewis have you taken early retirement. :-) It looks plenty tough like it would stand a drop.
    3
  114. Another interesting vid Lewis
    3
  115. Great review. Not so keen on the looks of the car.
    3
  116. I like that display. A really different idea,
    3
  117. Very good audio from the Yaesu.
    3
  118. Its no looker LOL. I think i agree with you that the 888s is hard to beat.
    3
  119. Used to hear a lot of pirate stations when working in London in the 80's. Not so many now.
    3
  120. Well done on the 10k mate :-)
    3
  121. Well said and all sadly true Simon. UK FM CB still attracts a certain type of football yob culture with grown men who like nothing better than to show the world every swear word they have ever learned since starting school in the 1970's. I am lucky to have found a great group of mature guys who are willing to spend time on SSB. Most of them are Hams who prefer to hang around on 11 meters.
    3
  122. LOL thats a huge flashlight extension. Nice review bud. Hope your well.
    3
  123. Looks a solid build. I think more for the commercial market but maybe for all weathers like fishing etc.
    3
  124. Another one for the collection mate
    3
  125. There still pretty uasable. Amazing how things have moved on.
    3
  126. I like the simple design of this radio. I think you can pretty much do away with the display and not loose a thing in function. Nice video Lewis.
    3
  127. Not seen this radio before. Seems a new make every week. Cannot knock the cost at which they can knock these out. Good video, sound and lighting spot on.
    3
  128. Wow that is real old school. Solid though.
    3
  129. Game changer.
    3
  130. Looking forward to part 2 . You going to look inside. Its very well made. Ind quality. Great video bud.
    3
  131. Great demo using the radio Lewis. Where these scores is for people who cannot put up a antenna but they can join in radio groups. They are very social. The 4.5 " screen is a bonus.
    3
  132. Still looks fresh. Good its has physical climate controls. Fine video.
    3
  133. The rear passengers always get a bit shunted. This car has total hard plastic on all the door cards other than a small padded square to rest your arm.
    3
  134. I never knew you could save messages or review received messages when you came back to the radio. I personally think it adds to real radio. It wont replace it but is another string in the bow of personal communication.
    3
  135. Yep.
    3
  136. They were crazy days. We are all old now but still like a chat. Used to be about hot local girls but now its gardening and aches and pains.
    3
  137. Great point. Most China radios come with test freqs which are all over the bands.
    3
  138. Some awesome drone footage on this one Lewis. Your pretty much a pro buddy.
    3
  139. Always liked the look of the GT-3
    3
  140. 10 Watts is impressive
    3
  141. Its looking very GOOD mate. That should make a great man cave. Well done.
    3
  142. That's impressive Lewis.  Its a nice little radio.  How is the battery life.
    2
  143. Once again great audio on that radio.  I assume the pulsing blue buttons is due to the camera.  Nice video bud
    2
  144. Never would think of something as simple as a inch of cable.  A great result and massive relief I would imagine.
    2
  145. Very very good review indeed.
    2
  146. Looks great.  Almost like lab equipment.
    2
  147. You really cannot complain for a tenner a throw. Not sure how much help they would be in a breakdown around my neck of the woods but in remote areas as you say better than nothing.
    2
  148. LOL Got me its clever. Your avatar looks like a hair on the screen. Darn i was rubbing it for ages LOL
    2
  149. Thanks for sharing.  You know I grew up with The Smiths which kinda expressed Manchester as being , well a bit industrial and gloomy so nice to see some countryside.  Nearest large transmitter to me is the Brookmans Park BBC array.  As I child I used to like to look out of my bedroom window and stare at the red aircraft lights in the distance.
    2
  150. I kinda like it.  Its the sort of radio Apple would produce if they did PMR.
    2
  151. Wow that is a proper HUGE tower ! any idea when it was built ?   I'd love to go inside up to that viewing platform.
    2
  152. Note to self, don't hit a trailer. !
    2
  153. How many people will buy on the brand name itself.  Radio is most likely fine.
    2
  154. Very interesting.  how so much has changed.
    2
  155. +Ringway Manchester Wow you did really well for £15 working, nice one mate.
    2
  156. Think I prefer the binatone but they do look quite like the real thing.  Look forward to the testing.
    2
  157. Nice video mate. That's a neat little radio.  Be ideal for portable DX'ing.
    2
  158. That is super cool and really busy as well.
    2
  159. Nothing wrong with that mate. Sounded very clear at 3 miles out.
    2
  160. Wow that is small. Does it run hot ?
    2
  161. Nice little power meter.
    2
  162. Never heard of Olywiz before. They look chunky. As you say a bit like the 888. Great video as per normal. Esp like the lighting, you got that set up well.
    2
  163. It would be nice if the 10.3" dual screens were standard but you get small 7" on the "A" instead. The larger screens are part of an expensive option pack which does give you more equipment but shame you cannot just pay for bigger screens.
    2
  164. Happy christmas Lewis
    2
  165. Looks good quality. The screen is very clear and GPS is a bonus.
    2
  166. Love the thumbnail with the Class 55 Deltic.
    2
  167. Great looker base. Like B&O
    2
  168. I missed this one. really interesting and makes a change from radio.
    2
  169. Its pretty big. Amazed it does not travel more than 25 miles. You could get that with a Gainmaster :-). Great video.
    2
  170. Cheers Lewis. Did not think of that if your near the airport.
    2
  171. I really enjoy the long versions. I personally find Thomas reviews very detailed and also relaxing with a laid back manner. Thanks for making the videos. All the best from the UK.
    2
  172. Nice video Lewis. Congrats on the new home.
    2
  173.  @RingwayManchester  All cool. I googled and there is a Azann radio transmitter in St Albans so i will tune in to it :-)
    2
  174. Dear Santa....
    2
  175. Seems like a short on the second one. Not sure why folks would want a light on the antenna but after seeing the SWR readings Jeez. Good video bud.
    2
  176. Interesting stuff. Happy new year bud.
    2
  177. Great footage. wow that weather closes in fast up there.
    2
  178. Yes fair point but Its a VW and its £30k. They should have put in better materials than a Polo costing half as much. When you go to the showroom and compare you see it straight away.
    2
  179. Every time i review a radio on MW there seems less and less stations. Sad fact.
    2
  180. Not sure on the single large screen to control everything whilst driving. However MAN did it shift !
    2
  181. Very good review indeed.
    2
  182. Happy New Year Lewis
    2
  183. Well i did on the un boxing video gary :-)
    2
  184. Back to the glory days for sure. Really interesting video Lewis.
    2
  185. Thats a great review. Loads of information and well explained. Well done that man.
    2
  186. It pulls well for a 1.2. Amazing how engines have come along.
    2
  187. Best car reviews on the net
    2
  188. Another interesting video Lewis and quite worrying.
    2
  189. Very fair review and great camera angles. Quick question. What make / model is your lapel mic ? Cheers.
    2
  190. I pulled up next to a Evoque at some lights yesterday and was surprised how small it actually was.
    2
  191. Copy that 🙂. I will have to look out for the cable when i next drive through the Hatfield tunnel on the A1M. Interesting stuff.
    2
  192. Looks like a winner to me
    2
  193. Really interesting video Lewis. Amazing it was mentioned on radio.
    2
  194. Great video Lewis and the whole issue put across very clearly. Personally i think network radio has a place in communication and something that iam myself considering. The audio sounds great on the new microphone and 13 mins without a break or mistake was some going. Well done.
    2
  195. Great video Lewis. Well done. Still i nice looking device. Cannot understand the 16 thumbs downs. ?
    2
  196. Great tests Lewis. Rem thats with a UHF antenna as well.
    2
  197. Glad you got a DMR contact. Nice looking radio with the big screen.
    2
  198. Window winders on a FR spec car in 2019. "Are you kidding me "
    2
  199. Think i would look at the Volvo XC40 over these two.
    2
  200. Make a great man cave on the beach
    2
  201. Strange the tower has gone. I rem the first video.
    2
  202. Nicely done Lewis. Hope your well.
    2
  203. I still think the UV5R is a winner. Just picked up a 888s Plus and not impressed.
    2
  204. Nah ICE will never catch on :-)
    2
  205.  @DavidColex  Wow that is some saving
    2
  206. They look well made for the money.
    2
  207. Great video Lewis. I would have been so tempted to put me Speedo's on and jumped in.
    2
  208. Wow Lewis that was awesome. A real cut above. Some great drone footage as well. Well done .
    2
  209.  @allsortsabouteverything  Or the school run. i could have done with a set back then :-)
    2
  210. Best review on Youtube.
    2
  211. Interesting if not worrying stuff :-O
    2
  212. Such a shame they fixed the antenna. Thanks for the shout and link. :-)
    2
  213. I think as a local range PMR they are good value. Well that is unless you look at the UV5R :-)
    2
  214. Best review channel on youtube with Thomas. Calm and professional.
    2
  215. It looks a little like a Tecsun. Good it covers air band. Great video mate.
    2
  216. They look nice units. Bit like the old 446 Mhz home bases. Good video.
    2
  217. Great addition. Good video Lewis
    2
  218. Some great drone footage mate and the backing track worked well.
    2
  219. Yep i have Zello on my Ipad and have chatted to Gary a couple of times :-)
    2
  220. Yeah prob £40k
    2
  221. Price of a large pizza :-)
    2
  222. Ive tested a couple of these. Its a shame that the 1:1 aspect scopes are so expensive. Cool gadgets though.
    2
  223. Maybe the Golf Gti killed the lot off. The X19 soldered on to 1989 in the Bertone form here in the UK. The last were sold ing 1990 but by that stage they were very outdated.
    2
  224. Takes me back to the CB days in the mid 80's. I was not driving at the time but used to listen to the Fox hunts on the radio. Great video mate.
    2
  225. What a great guy. A real petrol head.
    2
  226. Polo gets soft touch dash top though.
    2
  227. It does seem an odd antenna if not a little RF dangerous. However back in the early 80's we had mag mounts on biscuit tins in our bedrooms and still got contacts. 🙂
    2
  228. Amazing looking radio. Great video
    2
  229. I think if you could take the plusher BMW interior and put it in the sleeker Volvo shell you would have a better car. Sod the MPL.
    2
  230. You think they would have programmed a warning. Hopefully they will fix the bug.
    2
  231. I think Lexus need to update with this hydrid system. Great review.
    2
  232. As always interesting stuff.
    2
  233. Amazing quite at 100 kmh. Almost peaceful.
    2
  234. Oh i think i may have mentioned that on the last video oops :-o
    2
  235. Sorry but i gave up on your video. Mono left channel only drove me crazy on headphones.
    2
  236. Looks a bit like a laptop battery
    2
  237. Weird :-)
    2
  238. Glad to hear your doing well. I see you banging out video's, keep it up.. Its a bit like the electric car V petrol. Electric cars dont rev or sound like a good V6 or V8 but the younger gen seems not to worry and just love Tesla. Young people love Zello. I think products like the N60 at least try and emulate a radio. Its a step closer to proper radio than using your phone.
    2
  239. Good to see the ATS 20+ getting some use. On mine the encoder has pretty much given up.
    2
  240. Great camera work. Interesting subject.
    2
  241. Oh full credit to your Mum she nailed that 1/4 mile and stole the show. Funny how its always different in the passenger seat. Great video Matt.
    2
  242. Thanks Lewis i always thought it was all James Bond
    2
  243. Great contact bud.
    2
  244. Good video. I would like to see the edition of the larger multi function drivers display and the sunroof added to the top spec Duster. It does seem like the duster is being short changed here.
    2
  245. That 2.4 5 cyl should sound pretty sweet when you give it some beans.
    2
  246. I am still liking that stealth display.
    2
  247. Good to see the prices are coming down. Weird antenna. fine video lewis
    2
  248. Yes i agree with Parademic. Over the past 12 months i have prob got around 12 people back on the air using CB radio's after watching Fredintheshed1. From that 12 (that i know of) 4 are now taking a foundation course. Now that is after say 20 video's which take hours of time each. Network radio is attracting 100's of people on their phones as its free. If only a small percentage end up buying a radio like Lewis has demo in this video and out of that if some move on to HAM its prob still more than i could attract in 10 years.
    2
  249. Hi Jimmy. I guess time will tell in the long run. Your right about the freq's being sold off. I can see that happening in years to come.
    2
  250. Hats off to you guys testing a roof down car in the pouring rain.
    2
  251. I had my heart set on this car from the first look at the motor show. However i looked at one the other week and the first thing that struck me was the door card is the total hard plastic. There is only a small pad for your elbow. It reminded me of a van door. It just looks cheap even in a £15k car let alone the £30k SEL i was looking at buying. I think the dash layout and euipment esp on the SEL is good enough but i just do not get the cheaper plastics than a Polo costing half as much. I ve backed off for now. An ex demo Audi Q2 looks better for your money. Its such a shame they did not spend an extra few quid on the plastics.
    2
  252. Its prob an ok car but they should have only used the name on a low sporty coupe. People in the UK wont be fooled.
    2
  253. Great video. The more i see the new Duster the more that i like it.
    2
  254. I does look like a builders phone. Nice kit !
    1
  255. OMG Lewis thats a whole lot of radios :-)
    1
  256. Afraid so :-)
    1
  257. Killer price ;-O
    1
  258. They seem to be going for about £31 for a pair or £16 each. Thats still very cheap .
    1
  259. How much power do you get from a UV5R ?  Good test bud.
    1
  260. Amazing you can get so close .
    1
  261. I googled it. Its the 4th tallest free standing structure in Europe. Apparently this is the third tower at the site and the 2nd one collapsed.  This one was built in 1971 so its been up a fair while.
    1
  262. +Ringway Manchester Its a good video.  Amazing they got it so straight by the way they were working with just hand tools.
    1
  263. Sounds good.
    1
  264. Nice looking display, very sharp and clear.  Can you turn off the colour lcd and show the frq on the smaller display to save battery ?
    1
  265. +Ringway Manchester LOL.  Looks a keeper to me mate.
    1
  266. Hang on 122 mph top speed for the 944 ?  The GB 924 was rated at 126 mph ?
    1
  267. +Christopher King Could be but I doubt there was much difference between in CD between the 24 and the 44.  I think it was prob due to emission restrictions.  At the time in the UK cars were all decat.
    1
  268. I think considering you were inside the car that was not too bad. At the 3 mile point if you had got out and found some higher ground i think you may have got back.
    1
  269. The traffic seems to be going at a fair rate, I thought it was 55mph over there.  Oh btw I get that same look 0:36 from the misses when I go on about stuff.  LOL.
    1
  270. I really like the fact that its the same as the UV5R as a lot of people will already know the menus etc. If it aint broke then dont fix it.
    1
  271. Did you get it working ?
    1
  272. Bit of a shame Lewis but iam sure you will work it out buddy.
    1
  273. Nicely made.  Esp the alloy angle bending,
    1
  274. Well it impressed me.
    1
  275. Good test buddy.  Need your wellies up there and the radio's torch on the way done.  ;-)
    1
  276. Its a big old radio. Looks fully featured. I wonder how the screen will get on in bright sunshine. Great video as always mate.
    1
  277. Massive well done here Lewis your going to crack 50k views in the next hour or so. I saw something like this on SKY. Was it yours ?
    1
  278. Ok mate. It looked kinda the same with a jet aborting but may have been another. I am sure you could find it in google. I doubt Sky would pinch yours. Mate your rocking on this video. Well done you deserve it.
    1
  279. I found it Lewis. Your ok is a different plane on BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39070486
    1
  280. Nah yours is better Lewis as you have coms as well. I recon you could hit 100k by the end of the weekend. :-)
    1
  281. Arrgh No mate. Gutted for you. Least your getting some recon here. Just keep an eye on scrots nicking and re uploading your work.
    1
  282. Great video Lewis. Firstly impressive performance from inside the car. Glad to hear the RX meter works as the older UV5R just gave a full signal all the time it received. Looking good in front of the camera, mind you ive seen your profile on FB. Keep them coming buddy your channel is growing well.
    1
  283. You be waiting a long time. I ve already been i.d. by a total stranger just by talking to them.
    1
  284. Very clear audio. Good test
    1
  285. These little £100 China radio's are pretty amazing.  Powerful too.  Jobs a good un buddy.
    1
  286. Don't think I would have worn shorts myself. 
    1
  287. Wow super clear. Impressed.
    1
  288. +Ringway Manchester I watched the 1970's video on its construction.   Blokes up there with no hard hats or gloves piling concrete into a mould to form the walls before having to cut down the inner platform and had winch it up.  But what a job they did.
    1
  289. Its pretty big !
    1
  290. That GRE (the first one) looks like a model up from mine.  AA batteries last forever in that.  The Icom is different with the due display, I like that feature.
    1
  291. Very clear at 2 miles.  No interference.
    1
  292. Nice piece of kit for sure.
    1
  293. Total EYE CANDY.  Nice video.
    1
  294. I love old school.  Nice condition and working very well.
    1
  295. Wow a radio as well.  A good gadget for the money, cant complain.
    1
  296. These Baofengs are looking very pro now.  Nice video Lewis.
    1
  297. VK sounds a little like Mr Hawking. Nice capture
    1
  298. Bummer.  Nice looking radio as well.
    1
  299. LOL.  Great one Lewis well captured.
    1
  300. Does it have a external mic and headphone jack Lewis ?
    1
  301. I kinda wished they had painted it showing the hi and low areas.
    1
  302. They look so cool :-)
    1
  303. Looks like you could drive a truck over one.  Like the gps feature and the screen.  Look forward for some tests. :-)
    1
  304. They have taken "The Spirit" out of the exterior look. Looks just average now.
    1
  305. Real shame as the face off kit looked good on top of the dash.  Nice dog buddy.
    1
  306. Love things like this Lewis.  Just think how many of these old machines would have been chucked out of offices during the 80,s when pocket machines became cheaper.  You will be taking on Techmoan soon.
    1
  307. Snow WOW.
    1
  308. LOL got you.  Well you never know as they say its tough up North.  We hit the ice age below 10 deg c in the South.
    1
  309. Pointless.  This once was a program about cars.
    1
  310. They contacted me Lewis and are going to send a set.
    1
  311. Wow they are tiny. Cheers buddy for sharing
    1
  312. Brave lads out in that weather. Very pretty countryside.
    1
  313. Cheap as chips, well done.
    1
  314. Not heard of Zastone before. Happy Christmas mate.
    1
  315. He sounded a like a nice guy. However 60 cigs a day and your not going to make old bones.
    1
  316. Nice solid looking radio and different from the normal china designs. Videos looking good in the new shack mate.
    1
  317. Wow its pretty good looking inc the mic.
    1
  318. Have to say i hate driving across crossings. Too many movies i guess.
    1
  319. They need this on the Duster with the sun roof on the 2 top models. Good vid bud.
    1
  320. Awesome piece of kit mate. Look forward to some great video's from it this year.
    1
  321. Van style
    1
  322. Hope they get a good days money for being up there.
    1
  323. To call yourself a real Metro driver you had to master the act of holding your foot lightly on the throttle at junctions. Otherwise the indicators would slow down and then stop. Happy days :-)
    1
  324. Very good presentation
    1
  325. Nice one Lewis. Ive got the same loop in myself.
    1
  326. Seems a shame they are left in that condition. Should be restored. Nice vid bud.
    1
  327. I good improvement in my book. I think i may have covered the speakers though. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for your time.
    1
  328. Network radios seemed to have struggled to make a foothold in the UK. Pity cause they work really well as com. Nice clear video bud.
    1
  329. Mat you have just lost your job as your Mums GREAT at testing cars.
    1
  330. Looks really nice and smooth.
    1
  331. Wow its tiny.
    1
  332. Its a nice looking handset. Glad you can use it with gloves.
    1
  333. I cannot see the 2mm :-(
    1
  334. I know he's got me hooked as well :-)
    1
  335. Nice one Lewis. I made a vid also.
    1
  336. I must have missed Dolphin in the 90's. Shame it failed.
    1
  337. Nice one Bud.
    1
  338. style mainly
    1
  339. Oh no. No 3 door Cupra or FR :-(
    1
  340. Yep his spot on there :-)
    1
  341. £25K is way too much with that dash. Looks like a lot of hard plastic has been carried over from the T-Roc.
    1
  342. OMG £15k service on the Merc !!!!!
    1
  343. You do the voice really well.
    1
  344. Great radio contact with Paul. Amazing 3d printed stands. I recon you NEED one lewis.
    1
  345. That is FAST,
    1
  346. What freq Lewis ? I think they were pretty much the same. The clone looks better as a radio.
    1
  347. Looks ok to program. The radio itself looks like you could drive over it in your car.
    1
  348. Love the drone footage on this video.
    1
  349.  @RingwayManchester  Thanks Mate. They seem to be getting views. ?
    1
  350. Nice video. The front end looks like a BIG step backwards from the older design.
    1
  351. Used to love scanning in my teens as such a lot of freqs to receive on FM back then. Good video bud
    1
  352. Is that a DC10 parked up on the tarmac ?
    1
  353. Awesome toys. Love it :-)
    1
  354. Yep like that little radio. Mind you have to laugh at the mega bass sub thingy on the back . Shame they did not include a vfo tuning wheel which i prefer to buttons. Great video mate.
    1
  355. Love the banter on this one LOL :-)
    1
  356. I guess you get what you pay for. Cant understand why the time and date does not save. Pile of poo. A great video.
    1
  357. Strange results on the clone. The audio was spot on when it worked but the standard antenna was not working very well and very directional. Looks wise its much smarter than the UV5r.
    1
  358. That looks quite good, bit surprised really. Like the accent LOL.
    1
  359. Way to go ! Radio sounded very strong as well.
    1
  360. Really interesting and well done. Thanks
    1
  361. Scared the crap out of me but thanks for the honesty
    1
  362. I recon that the performance is close to a UV5R. be interesting to se them head to head. Good video buddy
    1
  363. Lets see how easy and cheap the new Defender is t fix when all the tech heads south.
    1
  364. LOL just published a telescopic antenna review on Fred. We think alike again, mind you i made mine a month ago. They work well and yours looks good value. cna be a good scanner antenna. All the best.
    1
  365. Some fine welding going on there.
    1
  366. Good answer :-)
    1
  367. Thats weird as i was watching a video review on a Lexus
    1
  368. I would prob stand less chance killing myself in the Porsche but if your going to go out fighting its the F40 all the way !
    1
  369. I rem reading about number stations at school. It all seemed very James Bond. I think the woodpecker was still transmitting then in the mid 1980's.
    1
  370. The roads in this video seem about as poor and patched as UK roads. I thought it did ok esp around 50 mph.
    1
  371. Only someone who works on their own car could understand that reaction. :-)
    1
  372. The sedan look better i agree
    1
  373. Well done for making the video. Had no idea it was like that. I will be keeping an eye out on motoring channels for leather promotion. All the best.
    1
  374. It looks good and sound awesome but once again let down on the interior esp at this high price.
    1
  375. Never knew it had a radio station. Nice vid lewis.
    1
  376. Prob speed alert warning. All new cars have it now 😞
    1
  377. Great review Thomas. Hard plastic on the top dash. Why ? The Polo has a soft touch dash top. Door cards all hard plastic again, like a van. Such a shame as its a great looking SUV and seems to drive well, they had a winner here if they did not penny pinch. However here in the UK you can buy a Volvo XC-40 for the same money as this 2.0 T Roc.
    1
  378. Sounds clear enough to me. looks well made as well.
    1
  379. Its a good price. I feel its a shame they could have not made a new case design but still a great radio.
    1
  380. Looks like a large Christmas tree
    1
  381. I would prefer using one of these than my phone. I feel radio should be separate somehow.
    1
  382. Its a tough looking radio. The shack looks awesome mate.
    1
  383. That worked really well. What a great piece of kit Lewis.
    1
  384. Well done Lewis. Hitlers birthday station solved.
    1
  385. Nice little handheld and great contact. Interesting Array.
    1
  386. Looks very smart indeed.
    1
  387. Maybe its my computer but the manual seems quieter at speed.
    1
  388.  @RingwayManchester  Keep em coming 🙂
    1
  389. A lot of guy wires for sure. Good video bud.
    1
  390. Why not just give people the 10" digital screen as standard cannot cost much more than a 7"
    1
  391. They have done a great job with the rear end. I am surprised how much i like it.
    1
  392.  @PaulXPZ  Err it was like a joke
    1
  393. I think the standard 5 year warranty is worth a mention in the review.
    1
  394. Very helpfull. Thank you.
    1
  395. That Humvee almost had it at one point. Sounded awesome.
    1
  396. Good job. Ive subbed.
    1
  397. Never heard of it.
    1
  398. This is pretty cool Lewis. I might have a go myself next year. Cheers bud.
    1
  399. Rugged design and looks nicely laid out. The display looked a bit dim. Wonder how it would get on in bright sunlight ?
    1
  400. No its a bit rough around the edges. They offered 25% off the price so ive kept it as i cant be arsed to packet up and send it back. Next question is does it work.
    1
  401. Wow when you said 200KM LOL. Nice one
    1
  402. Wow it was driving like a sports car. Engine did sound a little noisy though.
    1
  403. Is a pity they cannot just give the sat mapping on both screens 8 and 9inch and be done with it.
    1
  404. Another good video Lewis. Been watching them all year now and has fired up my interest again in SW radio.
    1
  405. A fantastic review. Many thanks.
    1
  406.  @RingwayManchester  All good bud. thanks for asking.
    1
  407. Bigster v the new MG HS. Should be good.
    1
  408. Its coming on great mate.
    1
  409. Love the drone footage in this one Lewis :washhands:
    1
  410. Yep
    1
  411.  @DavidColex  Hi 19k Euro would be ok but i think they will be closer to 30k here in the UK.
    1
  412. Funny how all these phone networks are now forgotten. Going to be like Nokia. Great vide bud.
    1
  413. Same engine as the Vulcan ? Seems to new lewis ?
    1
  414. It looked bloody creepy in there. Sort of place that in movies you stumble across a dead body. :-O
    1
  415. Great camera work mate.
    1
  416. Good video. Never considered it before other than the 2 min silence in the UK.
    1
  417. Nice looking software. Thanks for sharing. Ive given up scanning on VHF as not much about anymore other than buses and aircraft.
    1
  418. They look well constructed. Makes a change from Beofang
    1
  419. I wonder if the Hybrid package will filter down from the A class Sedan. I have a feeling that if that happens the 220 (x4) will use the 1.3 ltr engine + electric motor at the rear.
    1
  420. Ive watched your vids for years now but never leave a comment. Thank You for the honest account of your treatment and i wish you a speeding full recovery.
    1
  421. Great homebrew antenna lewis. Well done.
    1
  422. Interesting railway. Nice to see something a bit different on the channel.
    1
  423. Strange law. Strange antenna as well. Nice one Lewis
    1
  424. Nice going Lewis a real result. :washhands:
    1
  425. "Its ok ive got his dressing gown " LOL
    1
  426. I like the back end of the old car a lot more than the new model.
    1
  427. Looks well made for a budget radio
    1
  428. Great video bud. Seems kinda sad that we missed the glory days.
    1
  429. I never knew it was Bernies idea. Interesting video.
    1
  430. The background noise drop is just amazing when you swapped cars.
    1
  431. Dead at 39 years :-(
    1
  432. The Post Office do not deliver mail.
    1
  433. All news to me. Thanks bud.
    1
  434. Monobrow
    1
  435. Looks a step up from a UV5R. I would not drop it in a bucket of water though lol.
    1
  436. Got to the £27k bit and fell through the floor. For that budget plain boring interior.
    1
  437. Love this stuff and very well fimed.
    1
  438. Also be interesting on road as it has ind rear suspension and stiffer springs.
    1
  439. GO GO GO MUM. Total Legend..............
    1
  440. Never heard of Haarp before. Interesting stuff. Cheers.
    1
  441. I really like the mic it looks very nicely made. Keep em coming.
    1
  442. Thanks for the sub John.
    1
  443. Thanks for the video. Bit noisy above 120 but on UK roads with so many speed camera's thats not such and issue these days.
    1
  444. Sorry but from the outside the 77 car looks the best and also sounds better.
    1
  445. LOL thats gross. Kinda clever though.
    1
  446. It started out so well but the LED staying on was the first signs of trouble. Misleading selling. A great video Lewis.
    1
  447. Amen Chris
    1
  448. It looks very nice but so did the old model. I will be interested to see a full driven review on a sunny day to check for screen glare on the centre large optional screen. Great preview vid guys.
    1
  449. No need to be sorry buddy just thought i would let you know in case you had not checked.
    1
  450. Mazda MX5

  451. Mazda MX5

  452. Lewis can you use headphones with this device.
    1
  453.  @dougsbrat  Thanks
    1
  454. Lewis a good video. Nicely explained. This is all new to me so very interested in future videos.
    1
  455. Sounds bonkers without the silencers on.
    1
  456. Huge screen which is a bonus.
    1
  457. There is a lot of functions that can be programmed. Plus points for using a Kenwood type plug.
    1
  458. A good very detailed review.
    1
  459. I rem the 49 Mhz cordless phones. Good video bud.
    1
  460. Dont like the front one bit ;-(
    1
  461. Starting at £21k did i hear that :-O
    1
  462. Now try Jaguar "Jag You Are" and watch every other nation mess it up.
    1
  463. Has a decent speaker which is becoming a bit rare on these type of radios. Nice video bud.
    1
  464. I make your 0-60 time in the 7's.
    1
  465. Totally agree with you Adrian with these being just a mobile phone with a mic. However have you talked to younger people say 18-25 years recently about radio ? Sadly they have been born into a world of Skype, Teamspeak and Xbox Live. Instant communication and they just do not get radio communication at all. They would never consider spending out on a HF radio and putting up an antenna. However they may use Zello on their phone. I think for those people this could be a stepping stone into real radio. Its just possible that after a few years playing with Network radio they may develop an interest to learn more and hopefully one day become a real radio operator.
    1
  466. Yeah. I love messing with antennas and iam currently doing so this week. I rem about 18 years ago i joined my local photographic club. At the time any digital produced or enhanced prints were not allowed to be entered for any competition. The older members shuddered at the mention of Photoshop. Fast forward to 2018 and who uses film photography now. There will always be real radio (thank god) but these network radios are going to get more popular.

  472. The broken rear screen, mot fails and body corrosion sinks it for me. There are also a lot of things broken that should not be on a car like this. Un loved car. Walk away.

  473. I sort of miss the sodium lights. They were esp nice with snow on the ground and they way they started off pink before they warmed up. Leds are not the same but do give a clearer light. Happy New Year Lewis and thanks for all the content during 2024.
