In this video, I take the highly‑anticipated Vero VR‑N7600 and show you exactly how to program a repeater directly from the front panel — no phone app required!

We’ll go step‑by‑step through:
• Finding a local repeater (I’m in Montrose, Colorado for this demo)
• Setting up a 2m and 70cm FM channel
• Using the VR‑N7600’s new screen and interface
• Comparing it to the older VR‑N7500 experience

If you’ve been waiting to see the VR‑N7600 in action, this is it.

Will a USB power socket fit inside a battery box with the wires? He tests if right-angle spade connectors are needed for the battery terminals. It may come down to “dumb luck or pure genius.”

🛠️ Another day, another RT95! In this third installment of our repair/QC series, we tear into another Retevis RT95 returned from Amazon — and surprise, there’s probably nothing wrong with it… again.

📦 Could the problem be as simple as a wrong region code? You bet. These radios might be locked out of 70cm transmit because they weren’t meant for the U.S. market. So before you toss your RT95 into the junk pile — or back to Amazon — watch this.

✅ What you’ll see in this video:
• What *really* happens to Amazon returns
• A teardown of an RT95 "defective" unit
• How region-locking kills functionality
• A quick peek into the QA process

📺 Don’t miss the first two episodes if you want the full RT95 arc:
• https://youtu.be/4mUwD_sgHdg?si=oS-jvtXEfEOgExUd
• https://youtu.be/mWLdPlngRTo?si=DtSsMQAR_qxxaRdA

🔧 Let’s stop calling them “broken” and start calling them “unloved.”
73, Steve – KM9G
