I hooked the IC-7400 up to a 1/2 wave CB pole (1/4 wave 20m) and scanned through 20m and found quite a lot of strong stations. I was using a battery to power the radio but it went flat (forgot to charge) and so I had to use the noisy CB PSU.
New shack includes:
Yupiteru MVT-7100 scanner
Midland 78 Plus Multi CB RTX
ICOM IC 7400 HF/50MHz/144MHz RTX
I know I said 7800 in the video, but i'm forever getting completely different models of things messed up :)
Thanks to ML&S (www.hamradio.co.uk) and Aaron MI3WQT (www.muarc.com) for supplying the radio.

Just a quick bandscan, listening to a few nets and QSOs on 80m - shows the brilliance of the rig - got my longwire properly set up and actually connected it via PL259 to the rig ;) and it works great! Can't wait to get on the air and operate!

The CB's been doing this for a few days now - on FM mode it failed, but wasn't as obvious as this, but I switched to the Ireland band AM - and it just exploded! Not going to need/use it for much longer, but I felt it's abnormal enough to share - i think the thing's finally fried itself.
