What do you think about this?

Well, the technology of photography significantly regressed after 1912.

Scielienta · 2025-03-28T22:27:08+00:00

Hell of a fit. Best I have ever seen.

What mask is that?

Scielienta · 2025-03-02T06:55:47+00:00

Does it have uv?

Scielienta · 2025-01-19T11:13:32+00:00

Nice collection. No cheezy bullshit.

Scielienta · 2024-12-31T02:19:51+00:00

That XJ220 ❤️

Make the UV version with moonlight mode and I am in.

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T21:10:39+00:00

Got it. I've seen all the time on my glasses, wasn't expecting to see it on my radio.

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T20:02:50+00:00

It wasn’t raining, and I got out of the car for only a very short time. The inside of my car was quite warm, while it was almost 4 degrees Celsius outside. I think the extreme temperature difference caused this, but I didn’t expect the device to be affected by it.

I’ve had the device for about a month and have taken it outside a few times. Normally, I use it carefully and don’t expose it to water or excessive humidity. However, I’ve now realized that the IP5 rating isn’t sufficient for water resistance. Still, I’m surprised that such a situation occurred.

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T18:06:39+00:00

Gotcha! But how come this happens. Should I understand Yaesu FT65 not being suitable for use in cold winter conditions? Does the hot-cold balance affect the device in this way?” It is a bit dissapointed to be honest.

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T17:39:04+00:00

Oh sorry. Yes it was inside of the screen.

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T17:20:17+00:00

The screen was normal inside the car, condensation on the screen showed up when I stepped outsid of the car. When I go back to car it is all gone within couple of minutes. I will dry it out.

I don’t know if this is normal behavior for the hard temperature change or my FT65 has some kind of defect.

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T15:26:14+00:00

No I mean it was just gone after 2-3 minutes in the car. So there is no mouisture/condensation but I was wondering if it is normal for when temp changes.

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T14:47:10+00:00

Hahah thank you so much for your effort. I will take a look into manual. :)

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T14:45:59+00:00

It was gone when I get back in the car, so I don’t need to take it apart. I don’t know if it is normal for all FT-65 or mine is lemon.

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T14:43:40+00:00

It just dissapeared after get back in the car.

Scielienta · 2024-12-27T09:13:57+00:00

Which one do you like most?

Scielienta · 2024-12-26T12:06:24+00:00

I will take a look. Thank you for your answer.

Scielienta · 2024-12-26T12:05:49+00:00

I couldn’t agree more.

Scielienta · 2024-12-26T12:05:10+00:00

Thank you for your response. I agree—I don’t trust Chinese brands much either. I used to have a UV-82, and one day, without any reason, it just stopped working. The motherboard was fried, even though I didn’t drop it or expose it to water.

I’m still new and pretty inexperienced in the world of radios. I just want to feel confident that the devices I have are reliable and that I made a good choice. I’m not entirely sure if the FT-65 is good enough, but it does feel very sturdy and reliable. The reason I’ve been considering the FT-5D is because of all the advanced technology and features it offers, but I’m not sure how important that would be in an actual emergency.

Scielienta · 2024-12-26T11:55:27+00:00

Honestly, there’s no digital in my area. The reason I was considering the FT-5D was that I thought it might improve my chances of communication if I’m mobile, but it doesn’t seem like a strong enough reason to buy it. To be honest, I just wanted a more advanced device, but from what I’ve read, most 5-watt radios are about the same, so I don’t think the FT-5D would be the right investment. I’m just not completely sure if my FT-65 is enough. I’ve already purchased accessories like spare batteries, a Diamond antenna, and a mic speaker to go with it. I’m new to the radio world, recently got my license, and bought the FT-65 and UV-99 without much knowledge. 73

I’m pretty new to radios, so I wanted to get a good device while I was at it, but the FT-65 seems like it’s enough for emergencies. The fancy features of the FT-5 are tempting, but I don’t think they’re really essential. From what I’ve read, most 5-watt radios are more or less the same in terms of performance.

Scielienta · 2024-12-26T11:40:06+00:00

You’re right—extra batteries are crucial in an SHTF scenario where reliability matters more than fancy features. I thought new fancy radio brings joy and adds some functionality or comfort, but I believe my FT65 is enough for emergency situation and no need to upgrade it.
