stuartasutherland Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hi, has anyone tried this radio? http://www.moonraker.eu/Amateur-Radio/Transceivers-and-Brand-Accessories/Handheld-Transceivers/Moonraker-Handheld/HT-90E-2M-144-146MHz-HANDHELD-TRANSCEIVER I held one in Maplin yesterday, very small and light and it would apear to take the standard plug on my microavionics headset. Good price too at £60 Just don't know if it transmits on 143.950. Might buy it just to find out as my current radio is quite heavy / bulky.

alan_k Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hi Stuart, looking at the details of this radio the speaker/mic connection is to the Kenwood standard. Also the spacing between the two sockets is 12mm. As far as I know the Microavionics doesn't have Kenwood compatibility and the pin spacing is 10mm. Check it and confirm. I doubt that it will Tx on 143.95 straight out of the box. See here for a review http://www.essexham.co.uk/news/moonrake ... eview.html I am about to review a couple of Chinese radios, one of which also offers Kenwood speaker/mic connection. They are available from Hong Kong for under £30. As appears to be the case with all these cheaper radios, if you have got a Yaesu/Icom compatible headset then you are going to need an adapter. Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
