Seen The Salty Ham @ Walmart the other week and Stopped and said whats up. Dude was Cool and Very Nice, it was like seeing a Celebrity in Public.

That’s the same key I used for my very first QSO!!! I got a new larger one for my ham shack… but I take the little PUTIKEEG key with me on hiking trips with my QMX!!! Mike KK7MMN

well done vy 73 thomas dc5ly

Does it worth the $?

I have activated LCB on the West end from Highway 86. Great video!

Good video, thanks 😊 John

How long did it take you to build?

Good video....I have the TR45 skinny, it's a fabulous radio. John

Good video and activation. My QCX will be here sometime in January. I just subscribed. John

I was wrong concerning the Z-Match tuner, on the Penntek it's just simply inline or not. It has to be set to inline to be able to use it/tune it.

Love that bug

A straight key activation is somewhere down the road for me. Love your fist. What’s the brand of that blue speaker and how does it compare to the mainstream Anker Bluetooth Amazon speaker that most activators use?

I realized after reviewing my video, the N3DC QSO was MD not MI. 😓

Man I’m jealous of your straight key fist.

A paddle is just a paddle but a straight key is an ACTUAL KEY lol 😉 Seriously though, paddles are over-rated for most purposes. I liked the video a lot!

FB activation...enjoyed the FN history lesson as well. Range trip and CW activation is a great morning. My high-band (factory-built) QMX stopped working after 1 activation. Waiting to hear back from QRP Labs. 73 Joe

Jim is awesome. Thanks for the video. Hope to see ya down the log. DE W4EMB

getting toroids and caps dialed in on the QCX+ was hard enough 😅this thing looks nice tho, it would be nice to get rid of monoband kits

Could you add QMX to your title so others will more likely see this great radio in action? Good stuff!

Wow! Thanks for the video. I will check back again for more. Hopefully. I wonder what transceiver are you running? And I presume your qrp I use the aircraft kx3 best 73 G0HDA

I have some fun memories activating in the truck in some nice rain storms. FB activation! 73 de KI7QCF

Me gusta mucho hacer radio desde el automóvil cuando llueve!! ☔️ Usted tiene un buen equipo QRP 👏🏻 73/72

Thx for the contact! I'd have to bring my QCX to the field again.

I've been tossing around the idea of doing this to my FTDX10. Do you feel it was worth it?

Do you find that that style thumbscrew is just a few too many threads short? Mine barely goes through the part that holds up the arm. I have emailed DX engineering for an explanation but no reply yet. I am tempted to order one from Vibroplex and see if they have the same batch still. Being a little short, its hard to get any purchase on the arm and so can work loose easily.

There was an episode of twilight zone where a ghost reached out through code and Also there was a film called "frequency" where a dude was able to speak to his dead father over the radio.. The thought of speaking back and forth rhrough time is fascinating. Have you ever picked up anything out of the ordinary?

Same boat this morning. Wanted to do what's a pretty popular hike around here so had to get out SUPER early to beat the rush. I probably passed 50 people on my way out. It was a grind to get the 10 but a ton of fun. Love the T1 tuner! I just got mine and I'm excited to take it out to the field soon. I've been just using my ATU-10 up until now. Great activation and awesome setup! 73 de KI7QCF

I want a bug!

Dang I think I came to you when your camera died! Love the QRP Labs rig! How do you like that Elecraft tuner?

Yay! Another QCX Mini on the air! What band is it? I have built 4 of the minis, and recently the QCX+ for a friend. I often take the Minis on SOTA activations 👍👍 / N0DET

So glad to see you finally have your QCX Mini operational. I REALLY enjoy all of mine. Don't let tonight's operations be an indication of this little Jewel's capabilities. Conditions tonight were less than optimal. I didn't do well hunting with my QRO rings from y shack tonight on 40, 30,20 meters. The RBN picked me up on 17 and 15 meters but I got no takers. Have fun with it.

Looks quite compact like your Elecraft KX2 radio! 73 de Jon, VU2JO

You're really rocking that BUG

had my 817 out the other day. I really enjoyed the Yaesu rigs. 817, 857, 897, 991 and DX10. Thanks for the vids. DE W4EMB

Such a beautiful radio 73!

thx fer the qso! de N4XTT

Love that rig! DE W4EMB

Packed up my MTR-4B for a trip to CA from FL this week. Took it on a 6 point SOTA summit and a couple POTA parks...falling in love with it in the field. 72 de AI4TB.

great job congratulations 73 from kb2uew

Great video. Love the FT-818. Nice setup. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Excellent looking bug!

What software you using there, AI5DD?

White Rabbit... one of my all time favourites.

Nice position. Is this a lake shore, or a river?

Do you have a CW filter in that rig?

What better way to spend an afternoon than out in Nature with a trusty '818.

I also have a kx2 and am active in POTA - it’s a blast. Been a ham for years, but POTA gave me an excuse to take it outdoors - and I love that. I was wondering how that battery is holding up. Does the capacity appear to be as advertised… or close? I assume you have gone through multiple charge cycles by now. I’m charging the internal kx2 pack around twice a week and looking for something a bit more robust. I’m glad I’m not the only one making mistakes - you just have to shake your head and go on.

She's a beauty.

Hi. We had a QSO this past weekend. I was using the TR-25 with 3 watts out. Were you using your TR-45 on the 11th?
