Thank you for stopping by,

2024 Solar Eclipse POTA Activation with My Daughter
Hey everyone, I am back! Sorry for the long absence.
My daughter Katie was very excited about the 2024 Solar Eclipse, so why not enjoy it doing a POTA activation! She loves talking to people and mostly hunting parks.
And while the eclipse where we were was a bust due to clouds we had a blast out in nature!
But yes I am back and be on the lookout for more videos to come ;)

K9DP QRP BCI Filter Kit Version 2.0 Build
มุมมอง 827ปีที่แล้ว
Today I am building the K9DP's QRP BCI Filter Kit version 2.0. This is a must have piece of kit for your comms bag especially if you are running a Xiegu radio such as the x6100 or G90, which I both own. It is a very simple build for those learning soldering. The only challenge is the BCI filter moves during soldering which can easily be solved by using a pair of pliers like I did. Get your kit ...
Yaesu VX 6R Version 4 Board MARS Mod
มุมมอง 4.9Kปีที่แล้ว
Happy New Year Everyone! Thought I would make a quick video on how to MARS mod your Yaesu VX-6R with the latest version 4 board that has the solder bars (bridges). This is a very quick video for those that have the Version 4 board and were asking if it was any different, it is not just a solder bar not a blob. 73, Matt N3VAN

Charge Your Yaesu VX-6R & Other Yaesu Handhelds Using USB C Cable
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
Found this great way to charge your Yaesu VX-6R or other Yaesu handheld radios using a single USB C cable. The cable is specifically designed to ONLY output 12V or less to your device unlike some that can go over and damage or destroy your radio. This is a great addition to your comms gear or emergency bag(s) so you can charge your Yaesu HT during an emergency. Warning: Always check the output ...

มุมมอง 8Kปีที่แล้ว
Hey everyone! Long time no video. I missed you guys but have been traveling to Hamfests and dealing with work. I am finally back making more videos and decided to make one for disassembling the Xiegu x6100 QRP radio to fix a friends broken DC power jack. If you have any questions please put them in the comments. Will be making a follow up video on how to replace the DC jack shortly. 73, Matt N3VAN

Hey everyone A viewer commented on the NanoVNA H4 firmware upgrade video stating that it was stuck in DFU mode and he was unable to get it out of there. This issue can happen from time-to-time. There is a few options to fix this problem so I asked the viewer to send me their NanoVNA H4 so I may attempt to fix it and provide some guidance for others that may have this issue.

How To Tune An End Fed Half Wave Antenna
มุมมอง 19Kปีที่แล้ว
Hey everyone! A lot of people asked me how do I tune an end fed half wave antenna wire. Well today I figured I would tune two of my antenna wires, one 26 AWG Polystealth and another 22 AWG Silicone for a family trip down to Virginia. EFHW's are very simple to tune but make sure you fold or bend the wire before thinking of cutting the wire as once the wire is cut it is a pain to add wire. Chapte...
