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

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

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!

Someone Returned This

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".
