  • There is a lot more than meets the eye.
I bought this box for my cat to nap and play in, and it came with a radio. Helena made it clear that I can mess with the radio, but it is dangerous for me to mess with her box. If you are into ham radio YouTube videos, then you know how many hams have made videos about this radio. It is a great radio for the money. I got mine to be part of my "transportable" station.I can fit everything I need into one bag. The radio, a 20AH battery, two portable verticals, coax and two wire antennas as well as all of the accessories I could want. This is a heavy tool bag, but it all fits inside it The radio is a bit heavy for actual "portable" operations where one needs to consider weight. I have a more back-packable QRP radio that has served me well but if I need to set up for operations such as in an emergency or field day, I prefer to have something with a little more punch than 5 watts. The past two days, the bands have been really bad. Today, 20m cleared up off and on, and I made some DX contacts QRP SSB. When the noise level raised up, I bumped it up to 20 watts and got through to about half of the stations I tried to contact. My antenna is the JPC-12 and with it set to 20m, the g90 can tune it from 30 to 15 meters. 10 meters is wierd I get some in the CW portion and some in the top end of the band, but in between, it can't tune it. On the 40m setting of the antenna, the G90 tunes 75 through 20, but the receive on 20 really sucks. I don't expect to use those bands tuned from way out of resonance, especially with an antenna that can be adjusted to be resonant on them. But, it did tune the frequencies that My LDG could not. The control cable comes with it and you can use it to control the radio or along with the DE-19 to operate data. Mine appeared not to work. I spent hours trying to get it working so I could update to the latest version of the firmware that promises to have a quieter AGC. After just about giving up, I took the FTDI cable off the extension and plugged it into my laptop. Instant success. Yeah, other com port cables may not complain if they are on an extension, but this one really did not like it. After all of that, I discovered that I installed the same version of firmware that came in the radio. This is the NEW version of the radio and the latest of the two latest updates is already installed. It also comes with the head separation kit. Be advised, it is not an easy task to separate the head and put it back on. It's not hard, just a little tedious. You have to remove four screws to separate the head from the body. Then, you have to remove and replace two screws on the body connector one at the time. Then, you can plug the wire with a DB-9 connector on each end (one male, one female.) To replace it, you have to do all of that over again. I don't think the head ihas a convenient way to be remotely mounted. You probably need to find something and 3-d print it. Sound quality of the receiver. The band conditions this whole week have been really, really bad and noisy. The frying bacon goes from a noise floor of S-1 to S-9 very quickly. In CW, I can tune most of it out. In SSB, I found tricks that reduce it, but in the bad periods, it is still there and ranges from irritating but tolerable, to intolerable and time to get some chores done until it calms down. I even have to turn my Icom off in those periods. This radio has a band pass filter that you can set that helps reduce the noise a bit. It can squeeze itself down to 50Hz on either SSB (which you cannot understand the station) and on CW, where you get a bit of ringing, but in most cases I can make out the code. It does not have a notch filter. You will have to rely on the band pass filter to help with heterodyne. There are a lot of unmarked function buttons on this radio. For example, the "POW" lets you adjust the power output and the SWR threshold. It defaults to 1:3, but I drop mine to 1:2.4. That's the marked function. But when you press the FUNC key, There is no marking, but it adjusts the mic properties. FUNC and a long push of the POW button starts the SWR sweep. There are many more. This is the new version. It has Anderson Power Pole connectors in the back!!! Now, for me, that was good news because I just had to plug in my existing wire to power it up. There are several videos on YT showing how to fix and replace the power connector from the previous version of the radio. The waterfall is great if you are looking for active frequencies. It isn't very big, but it is enough to show you where the stronger signals are so you can get to them quickly. It also decodes CW. The best made CW decoder is "good". None are great. They all have the same issues in QSB and the static or sizzling bacon. However, it decodes LIDS who constantly change the lengths and spacing of their dits and dahs to sound "artistic". (poor operators who are learning are not LIDS, those who do it on purpose are the LIDS). Strangely enough, the first station I tested the decoding on was one of these LIDS. Ironically, the radio decoded nearly every letter accurately. Like any decoder, it has problems decoding when the signal fades into the base static. BTW, I just tuned across a shortwave station and it isn't bad, even in the QSB and frying bacon. RIT is not identified. It is always on, you press the tuning knob until it shows up. Then you adjust it left or right. When you are done, there is no indicator you have moved it. It goes with you to every band in every mode and comes back on when you turn off and on the radio. If you don't discover that everyone is centering their signals 50Hz off from the even frequencies,like I did, you won't know off center. You have to go back to it and turn it back to zero. The radio does not have 60 meter frequencies identified. You get to transmit anywhere in the range. The first thing I did was program in the first five channels of my radio to 60m SSB, then 6-10 are CW. I also programmed in the international beacon project frequencies in CW to see how propagation is doing in my area. The radio has a speech compressor, but no adjustment for it. Just set the mic gain until you are happy with it. You only get a brief overview in the provided manual. To really learn the radio, you need to go to Radioddity and download all of the manuals to get more usable information and more advance information. Oh, and don't forget to search YouTube. This is a popular radio there. i have not worked the transmitter very hard, and this being the new version, is not supposed to get as hot or as quickly as the older version. Mine has not gotten much more than gently warm. They say the bottom vents are bigger to let it cool more. There is no internal battery and there is no memory keyer for contesting or automating. It has 63 memories that are only referenced by their numbers, no naming them. I don't believe it can scan the memories, if so, I have not come across it. You can add your call sign and name on the boot screen. A couple of YouTubers have replaced the knobs with decorative knobs. They are apparently very common sized so you can customize that part of the look which will make it easy to identify which is yours or not. The radio comes with guard rails for the front and back made of steel. They help protect the face, knobs and connectors on the face and back. Well, I hear the bacon is about done, so I'm going back to playing radio. There is a lot more to this little radio than meets the eye. I happen to like it, and in particular, that it has the extra power up to 20 watts. Sometimes, that's enough to get through in rough conditions. Sometimes, 100 won't get through. I only need the mic and radio to use it in the house. All of the other accessories and parts can stay in the travel bag ready to deploy, if I like or need. 73/72 for now. ... show more

  • An excellent rig for its price
I'm very satisfied with my G90. It's my first HF transceiver and with a not-so-great dipole I was able to reach Europe from Chile through both FT8 and WSPR. By using a DE-19 adapter interfacing with a computer requires only one USB cable, which makes much easier to work digital modes with this radio. The tuner also works great to compensate deficiencies with the antennas. Despite I'd like to have more than just 20 W of output, this is still a fine first option for getting into HF, especially for digital modes and CW. At some point I'd like to buy the 100 W amplifier for reaching out with more power. ... show more

  • Great value, excellent performance!
I expected the G90 to be a good transceiver. It has turned out to be a GREAT radio! It is easy to setup and operate. It’s built in tuner and filters generally surpass many others I’ve used. The G90 has been perfect for hiking, camping and canoeing: light, compact, energy efficient. Bravo!

  • Best QRP rig out there
This is one of the best amateur radios I've ever had the honor of owning. It's small, light weight and perfect for field day. Compared to many other HF radios, this one doesnt' take a PHD to operate, it's very user friendly. The multicolored LCD is packed full of data and it even decodes a good CW signal. ... show more

  • Great radio, not enough power.
The radio functions perfectly and has a lot of awesome features for the price. Unfortunately, only having 20 watts makes long distance radio contacts in anything other than ideal band conditions challenging. I broke down and bought a cheap Chinese amplifier which solved the problem.

  • No other radio like it on the market for the money.
I have had my G90 for 6 months. This is the ultimate starter radio for new HAM radio, that I don't imagine ever selling. As a new HAM, I am blown away everyday by what this radio can do. At first, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of power with just 20 watts. After a few months of experimenting with different antennas, I quickly realized most of my problems were my lack of knowledge of antennas and radios in general. I started with simple dipoles. Each one got a bit better. Then I recently put up a horizontal, 40 meter, hexagon, loop antenna with a 4:1 balun. When I turned on the radio, my first contact was with Switzerland, FROM SOUTH AMERICA (41 degrees south latitude), with a 55 report (12000 Kilometers), on SSB. I had not even installed the antenna correctly (got dark), and the SWR was flat 1:1. I went on the next day to log contacts across South America, Europe, North America, with little to no problem. Hitting about 70-80% of the stations I tried on the first try. Crazy thing, I still have not finished tuning and installing the antenna after almost a month. It is just too good, and the antenna tuners will tune anything. On most bans I am already under 2:1, that the G90 handles without a problem. I even quit going to my mechanic. I just hook my G90 to my engine block, and hit the "Tune" button. Seriously however, even though I am going to buy a Yaesu for a base station soon, I am keeping my G90 as a mobile unit. It is just too rugged and versatile to part with. Really, Yaesu and ICOM should thank them. If it was not for such a great intro to HAM radio with the G90, I probably would have never considering a lot more money on their products. The G90 is your gateway drug to ham radio. I have bought the adapter for digital and a morse key, and as yet to really dive in to them. I still have lots of things to explore with the G90. FYI, with some modifications, this makes a great case for going mobile with the G90: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGCY3J5B ... show more
