Radio Performance Tested: Is it Really a Good Radio? #shorts

Testing a radio’s power supply reveals 13.7V idle and 12V under load. The power supply isn’t overcompensating; this radio is simply a solid performer. Return reason not power related.

This HT Is Hiding Way More Than I Expected

In this video I’m reviewing the **Radioddity GS-10B Pro**, a dual-band VHF/UHF handheld radio with a surprise feature I did not expect to find in an HT: a **built-in spectrum scope**. We’ll look at what the GS-10B Pro actually transmits on, how clean the signal looks on the TinySA, what the power output claims are, and how the radio performs as a practical ham radio handheld instead of just another black plastic button brick.

The GS-10B Pro is not just a basic dual-band HT. It offers **VHF/UHF transmit**, plus expanded receive coverage including **AM, FM, shortwave, and HF receive**, making it more of a wideband listening tool with ham-radio transmit capability. I also test the radio’s spectrum purity, take a look at the real built-in spectrum display, check the programming options including Bluetooth/app programming and CPS, and talk through the good, the weird, and the things buyers should know before grabbing one.

If you’re looking for a **Radioddity GS-10B Pro review**, a handheld radio with **AM/FM/SW receive**, a **clean transmit test**, or just want to know whether this HT is actually useful or just spec-sheet confetti, this video should help. We’ll keep it practical: what works, what surprised me, what feels gimmicky, and whether the built-in spectrum scope is a real feature worth caring about.

Someone Returned This “Broken” Radio…I Proved Them Wrong!

Is one person’s "return" your next favorite radio?

Today I’m in the "Mobile Office" at a campground to perform a full QC bench test on an Amazon return: the Retevis RT95. Usually, returns are a mystery, but this one arrived looking practically brand new with the screen protector still on. The new owner specifically wanted an antenna included, so I’m putting this dual-band mobile through its paces to ensure it’s 100% ready for its forever home.

👉 No More Mic Fright: https://courses.hamradiodx.net/b/TqJWp/af697d88594372e

What’s inside this test:
👉 The "Cigarette Lighter" Warning: Why you should check your fuse and wiring gauge before plugging in a high-current mobile radio.
👉 Chirp Troubleshooting: How I handled a "Chirp bug" while programming North American band plan repeaters.
👉 Real-World Power Test: Testing the radio into a mag-mount antenna to see if it actually hits its rated 20–25 watts.
👉 Repeater Stress Test: I attempt to open 5 different local repeaters near Coralville, IA, to verify the transmitter and CTCSS tones are working perfectly.

Saving radios from e-waste, one return at a time. Interested in a QC-tested radio? I sell these directly to ensure you get a working unit without the "Amazon gamble".
