YouTube video of AR-DV1

[AA6IO]

I just uploaded my first YouTube video of the AR-DV1 at
https://youtu.be/2O46DOwuF_g

I spent some time uploading the video, it was correctly oriented when I uploaded it, and now it is 90 degrees out of sync on YouTube. If anyone knows how to fix this, please advise me immediately. Anyway, this will give you a good idea of what the AR-DV1 sounds like.
Spoke to Taka at AOR yesterday and he said new firmware should be ready later today (Friday 6/5/15).
The video you see now is with firmware 1505C from May 14th. I finally learned the long-short-short enter sequence for entering channels in memory. Then I was able to load about 40 channels very quickly.
What you see (turn your head sideways for now) and hear is scanning in the middle of the night in Los Angeles of a combo of NXDN railroad, LAPD P25, and analog stations. If I turn the squelch up almost all the way, the scan rate is about 15 per second.
Will play with the new firmware this weekend. Now that I have the AR-DV1 scanning, it sounds pretty good. Put the 4 Gb card back in and seems to be running cooler. The video is with the 4 Gb card. Enjoy, and don't twist your neck too much.
Again, please, if someone knows how to correct the orientation of a YouTube video, let me know. I don't have much experience with these videos.

Can I rotate already uploaded video's on YouTube? - Web Applications Stack Exchange

Edit: Sounded good. I take it that was the receiver's speaker and not an external? (If you mentioned it, I missed it)

External speaker. Built-in speaker OK, but used External speaker with better quality for video.

Hi Steve,
Been reading your posts regarding the AR DV1 Receiver, with great enthusiasm. The YouTube video turned out well, and the receiver sounds great. I'll be watching for the firmware update reports, and your assessment. Thanks for taking the time for your excellent evaluations. I'm sure Taka must be pleased!

Hi Dave
Yes, the audio sounds pretty good. My concern is that my radio is running hot and acts up when it gets real hot. The power supply is almost too hot to touch. However, some other people have not experienced this heat problem. I'm wondering if I got a defective unit. I'm going to discuss it with AOR this afternoon.
Nevertheless, I do think this radio does have some potential for those interested in an all mode receiver.

Wow, that's a really sad looking display. They couldn't have used one that didn't make the freq being received look like an old Commodore 64 game score? NXDN recieve is nice, but without trunking, it's usefullness on P25 is iffy, at best.

That display layout is kind of disappointing for >$1000 receiver..
