To expand on this, here’s a link. There’s also a massive Reddit. Finding the hidden features was the SW radio nerds equivalent of hidden moves or Easter Eggs in video games in the 90’s.
Much, most, of this radios features are beyond me, but so far it’s not over complicated and comes with a clear manual for further learning. There are Baofeng and ham fans on here @SaraR I think knows a fair bit. The shortwave antenna that can go out the window to pick up ham radio and broadcasts from hundreds of miles away, filter results and narrow or expand bandwidths is something I haven’t tried yet, but Sara will know what SSB and DSP mean.
NIce one, sounds like an interesting bit of kit. Will check it out. In the meantime, I'll try not to send a hadouken over the air waves.To expand on this, here’s a link.

Just spent a week in Looe.
Bought this fid from a chandlers next to where we parked the car. A Spring tide reached the back wheels during the night.
Anyway, I’m trying to tie a three part man rope knot and struggling with just my marlin spike.
Lionsteel M4 in Magnacut and Olive wood. I like it a lot.

Don’t even think of putting that lot in the loft under the solars when you get themExpanded again:

I'll have external cables. I have already drilled a hole behind the curtains.Don’t even think of putting that lot in the loft under the solars when you get them
How long would that lot last you if you had a power cut Martin?Expanded again:

When you say your type of roof - do you mind me asking what you mean?

What's the plan for the setup and are you currently running the house from it/if not what are you powering? If you have the space you could do a ground mount array
I bought the M4 in M390 and black G10, ages ago as an alternative to the F1. I love mine, but I don't use it....?
The benchmade pukko 200 is my go to
It's all about power management Steve.
I would only be powering the fridge freezer and some 8watt lights during a power cut so probably a week if I include laptop and phone charging.
That doesn't include any solar I can recoup during the day.
The companies I have approached only want to do full installs and due to the shape (dorma style) will not fit a cost effective system for them.
Just trying to reduce my bills. Plus my Electric company want to fit a smart meter against my will. Ground mount array is a possibility once I have the garden landscaped.
I installed solar panels myself, I put 5kw up and wired it in, with no real problem. I bought everything from CEF.
I have plans to add another 13kw in autumn.
