I wanted to test a antenna I had just made and found a easy drive up SOTA and it was just average until I hear a voice with an accent and call out and this is what happened.

In this video I show how I reworked the SWR sensing to be a little less sensitive. Remember make sure to do your own findings and if you decide to do this mod do at your own risk. Make sure to check your antenna’s SWR before using this amp! I purchased my amp from Ebay and a U.S. seller.
****NOTE, I ended up changing the 33 ohm resistor to a 22 ohm resistor to keep the swr closer to actual swr as per my analyzer about .2-3 lower. *****

In this video I compare the first gen 2 TD H-8 radio that I received and the second updated version they sent me to see if the original problems were fixed. This radio was sent to me for review and all comments I have are my own. In the video I say the battery is 2500 amp hours but meant to say mah’rs.
