Very good information. I did learn something so that is a plus. Thank you for sharing.

I use rg213 it is stronger and last for years and not much more per meter than rg8x

The best practice is to just talk and have fun and you don't need a license like the rest of the sheep.

Hey, great video. I'll be pointing new guys to this one. Ever thought about doing a quick Heliax video? I know a lot of guys couldn't afford it, or want to deal with it, but I run into many people who wonder what it is etc. I'm the crazy 250' 7/8 guy, but yes I'm a weirdo.

Can we get the link to the attenuation chart please?

obscure? Doom E1M1 good gravy pick a hard one

Best practices are designed by self appounted " cool kids" you cant expect others to blindly follow ambigious rules. Use the nato alphabet because sometimes a dialect or tone of voice does not come over clear enough to understand. What you hear and what is recieved is completely different.

Even at 2x, that was DOOM!

And what was the song? Hello, Bueller... Bueller.... It sounds familiar but I was never a fan of that kind of metal. Play metal on the Godin in the background. That guitar is beautiful.

Conduit is always a good idea. When you need to run another cable a couple years later it's so nice to just pull it through in a few seconds.

I use about 3ft of ?rg-174? To get an antenna out a car window for my HT and it does better than the antenna inside the car attached to the HT.

DOOM

Sounded like 'I am murloc' 😅

"UL" has many standards. So check what standard is referenced if a product says "UL Listed"

I need to switch to LMR400, as my HF antenna is currently on 100 feet of RG8.

Good information! No comments? Guess everyone is out playing field day!

Heyo! I've been searching forever for a way to use my Raspberry Pi 3B+ as a transceiver, problem is most RTL SDRs are like 5W, and won't get me any contacts. Do you have any recommendations for SDRs for the Pi that you can set up to transmit like an actual transceiver? Thanks for any help in advance :D

this is so cool

i R hakaR!

They should mention the CQ stuff on the blasted test then. How can we know this crap when we're brand new?

D75 can also do Bluetooth Terminal Mode with Blue DV Connect Android App,

Au vu de la vignette TH-cam, ce ne sont pas des antennes HF mais bien VHF et UHF...

where can I find screens that have a cable instead of being soldered directly onto a board?

Hi there! This is Dylan KN6SDO. I’m a local ham and just ran into your channel. Love the video! Hear you on the W6EK repeater!

I was too afraid (hihi) to buy one of these as the seemed very complicated, but your video allayed many of my fears. Tnx OM es 73's.

This is on my radar for using on my motorcycle….pipe the Bluetooth to my helmet….Pitt on my handlebars….really like the aprs

Craig! What's the case your using on the Zero+Display?

Great work Craig! The DigiPi saved my FT8 SOTA activation recently. Question; would it be impossible to run FreeDV on the DigiPi?

Can you change the Webchat APRS symbol and beacon text? Can't find the right .conf file to do this.

Craig, I got YGate working with my FTM-500 with a SCU-58 cable on a Pi 5. A bit of overkill so I’m gonna try on a zero. Thanks for the cool stuff! 73 KC3ZBU

The SCU-20 doesn’t get used to update firmware, there’s a usb mini to USB A port at the front of the radio behind the face for firmware updates. And with the SCU-20 you can indeed send digital voice audio over wires X. This cable will allow you to get onto Wires X using an FTM-100, 200, 300. 400 all you need is to set up a wires x account, and a pc connected to broadband, you can only use the digital only rooms if you have the SCU-20 but you can upgrade to an SCU-40 which gives you an analog tail connected to the SCU-20 and then you can use any room in the wires x software with no HRI node needed. You run your Base radio (FTM-100-400) as a node using the SDU-20 connected from the DIN pin socket in the back of the radio plugged into the USB of your PC, you switch your radio on in PDN (personal digital node) mode run the wires x software and you’re in. You can even turn your node radio that’s connected to the PC as an access point for your FT-70 or FT-2D so you don’t have to be stuck to the PC, there’s a few ways of setting this up if you want to get on wires x but don’t want to spend $300 on an HRI200 wires x box. If you want to know more just search FTM-300 PDN mode.

"Final countdown" by Europe. I'm sure it will be recognizable and the main riff should be short.

I love your content man!

Love your videos Craig.. Thanks !

Bumper tune: Intro to “The Rain Song” ! It’s so beautiful. D G C G C D tuning. (Dog Cog Compact Disk)

Thanks for the video Craigh. I run an Ic7300 but Im pretty happy with it. Please keep the videos coming. I love the format including the Bumper music. Regards Vk5kov Down Under.

The Trees??? That's awfully brave Craig! :-)

i have currenty no experience on radio stuff, only had a baofeng hand radio a while ago that i used for just listening, im thinking on buying an rtl-sdr as the starting hardware and i may do the test to get the CEPT Radio Amateur license

Yaesu has the current version of the cable included in the SCU-58 Wires-X connection cable kit.

How can i get started with this

great job

where can I change the port 5901 that the pi listens to to bring up the web interface when not connected to local wifi? I have another program that uses that port on the same pi that i can't figure out how to change.

Do you have a link to the display you used in the video?

Thank you very much for doing this. I started attempting this with a VERY old Acer Aspire One loaded with Debian 12.5 and WeeWX connected to my Acurite 5 in 1 PWS similar to yours. That's about as far as I got. 73! de/KC3ZBU

Hi I have a weather station that don't have USB to get data from sensors, only have an IP in my router. May you advice a freeware software in windows and Linux for extract in real time data from my weather station, and store in a data base to forward APRS and have my own statistics without depending on internet.?

Theoretically, you could also use a mixer to reduce background noise if your music mixer has that capability. Never tried it before but its the same as white and pink noise in music production.

I just had a cheap $12 HP server power supply off ebay... PL18 - easy to mod for 13.8v with magnifying lens and a very steady hand. those SMD posrta are tiny!! Cheap switching (very clean) PSU for 54 amps output.

Thanks ,Craig. I’m a new ham and this is very helpful to me. 73. KQ4RUG.

Very cool. Is this specific to the Icom 705 or would it work with other radios? I currently have a xiegu g90 I've been trying to get set up for digital modes

just got the D75,
