He also has more pics than I posted on the auction link...

Sure some pictures, and I really am enjoying mine personally! He still has one on eBay at this time. I wish more people would become more active making something similar to them, I welcome that. Happy DXing 73's, Retro https://www.ebay.com/itm/204726623519

It's 10 amp switching power supply! 73's

Yeah not a bad idea SM but I assume you realize too one can get freq readout already with button pushes on the digits on this radio. Pretty compact I feel it would be a bit tricky to install a 6 digit freq counter. Nice idea though and the thought crossed my mind too. Happy DXing 73, Retro

Yeah I bought one and it's quite very nice! I had bought some radios from Jon in the past prior as well. A very neat idea turned into a pleasant small entertaining package! I tend to like things like this though personally. 73's and howdy 399, Retro

I have some physical copys of service things which I got from someone on this forum pretty sure.

It would be awesome to have the service menu for this Chierda s890 and I seriously hope someone shares that once known as it could help some !!!

I think that would be cool yeah. However, with no schematic, wondering if he could fix my ALC not working inside as well? I really look forward to his review vidieo! Thanks for posting this 73, Retro

Yeah thanks, I hope we hear back from some other owners! 73's keep the DX alive, Retro

I was over to my local techs shop today to get him to make me a mic adapter for this radio. So while there I had him check the TX and RX, just basic tests as I was curious what he'd see etc. Turns out my Sideband operation for TX is being over driven and that coupled with the fact that the TX...

Mine has the "NR" but so far I haven't figured out to adjust it in TX/RX. A few of the menu options I'm not sure what they do, so another reason why I want the updated manual... So far, the NR can be turned on or off only either from the mic that came with the radio or from the button on the...

I'm waiting on the new updated and revised users manual... The one from Simon's website is old, and the one from the Netherlands website same thing... Nothing on the companys website strangely... For instance, mine has 27 menu options verses old manual has 29 and alot don't match up to my...

Seems decent especially because the 2547 still sells way too pricey. However, I do NOT like the digits in red while the freq counter is white. Lazy staff won't match them, but I guess in reality, it is more credited to a effective price cut... That is my 2 cents 73, Retro PS: Since I have...

WOW that is awesome, appriciate this even now since it's been a long time Dan. Great thank you 73's, Retro

Well I finally got my 2 s890 radios, been testing a couple days now. Very nice small radios overall. I'm trying to get the latest revised user manual, as the current online don't match up with the menu ! Though I want to lower dead key on AM/FM badly, so I'm guessing inside those pots are...
