Please STOP doing FT8 use SSB, FM, AM, or CW the CPU does all the work Be A Real HAM USE VOICE Please We will lose Our Bands if We keep only using one little spot.

This is really interesting. Thank you for sharing. Do you happen to have a wiring diagram or layout?

do you have an updated manual on the different modes? I noticed on mine, it takes 10 presses of the button to go into "unlimited" mode and 9 presses of the button put an "A" on the screen.. but I'm not sure what that does.

The big lesson here: you are just as human as the rest of us are :) de KA8VLW, Ken, Michigan

You bring up some good points here and have me thinking that I need to double check my radio go-bag.

I have driven 40 miles to an activation, only to realize just before I got there I did NOT have a microphone or headset. I went ahead and did scout out the area for the second arrival/first of my activations. We all learn our lessons, somehow. W4XCO

I made a POTA checklist. Before I leave the house I check off all the items. Works great

Well I forgot coax once

Good on you for pointing out a mistake we can learn from. Thanks!

whcih antena reel is that one? or did you do it yourself?, can you explain it on how to do it if so?

I am in the process of building a Go Box in a Pelican Case. This way I grab one Case and go.. What happened to you could happen to any of us...Thank You for sharing this as I am sure it will help many PS--- Yes! There will be a HF Radio in this Box ...KC3ZDW 73's

Thank you

I have this meter and it did restart every time i went over 70 watts on battery, not with the charger Connected. The text SWR and FWD change to Chinese text when i go over 125 watts. I changed the battery to a 5000 mAh and it looks like it is stable now and will not restart as long as the battery power is good, but i have to live with the Chinese text(i dont care to much ). The charger give some noise but not all the time, no noise on battery. Banggood wouldn't give me a refund or exchange it for a new one(i am done with Banggood). But i am happy with it now as long as it works? It is maybe the most beautiful SWR meter on the marked i think so it is sad it dosent work as it should. The bilt quality is good.

Hello There's always a first time A few days ago I also forgot about my backup antennas but I still had time to put them in the car 73 de CS7BDO

How stable is the voltage

I would be interested to know if you observe the same problem as I did with this meter. I bought one. The display was excellent and I was very happy ... for one day ... then I discovered a serious problem. The meter generates RF noise. On 40 metres the noise level went up by 2 S points when the meter was turned on. It was worse on 80 metres. If you have a high noise level in your location you may not see it, but I have a quiet location. It's disappointing because the meter display was so good. Here's a video showing my problem ... th-cam.com/video/P4eouBD4i0E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=o8Ql7ZG_zcJ-Vvqr Oh ... and I notice the SWR&POWER METER printing on your meter isn't quite straight. Mine was the same.

Is that the brand in the bottom right?

Can you share the firmware pls? 73's

Did you really throw that fishin weight up there on the first shot?

Hello! Also have Xiegu 6100 and I'm considering buying this linear amplifier Is a connection cable needed between the Xiegu and the amplifier's ACC interface? Many thanks for review / 73 CS7BDO

How long does the wire max out at ? 130ft ? Thx

Radio connection gone wireless. But thanks for the info. I'm going to hamkite in few weeks.

BOLO kite with coax. Last seen in SE TEXAS USA. Please call N5BSB for reward. Approach with caution. Is considered dangerous to ham equipment

The Antenna works wonders! Worked Lithuania, Bosnia, Spain! Very Impressed!

How did you mount your ft-891 head

Just Ordered one :)!! Would spray Painting the Blue Plastic Black be an Issue?

Thanks for spec. and for sharing this great video.

Thank you for the demonstration. Is that a custom case for the Nanovna with adapters to SO-239s?

It's really a very good antenna ... can always be tuned without having to cut the wire I bought you one 😉 73 / CS7BDO

it would be nice to know the sources for your parts and accessories on this project

Looks cool I realize what it is. But what purpose. Shortwave. ? And what does it mean in the center

Really clever design.

Carpenters approve this message❤

I would like to see this demo on a RigExpert. I cant tell anything with this video.

Thanks for the update building my power supply for the bench!!!!😀

Great video, I’m using the same Apache case for my FT-891. I centered the rig in the middle to give even airflow left to right. I mounted the mobile bracket and the body is secured with that, it also helped to center the weight for easier carrying and also allowed enough room to drill and attach the bulkhead connector for the mic just below the left latch.

I just bought one of these yesterday on eBay. I own many bought (myantennas) and home made EFHW antennas. About 8 years ago (2016) I wanted to build something like this - an adjustable length EFHW on a reel, but I couldn't come up with a method of keeping constant contact between transformer and wire. I designed several methods, but I was never really happy with the results. I look forward to doing lots of testing with this antenna, and putting videos of this antenna on my youtube channel from Nairobi Kenya (5Z4J)

Thank you Radio Reworks for the 891 mount. Much appreciated!

Nice! I plan on using the Same HF radio along side a Yaesu FTM500 dual band. I'll have HT docking stations and USB charge plugs powered by numerous Bienno Batteries. I will add firewall plugs to daisychain this into a solar charged power pack.

Nice build/video. Thanks for sharing! I'm planning to give this a try. Do you still have the extra head bracket?

You look like my buddy, Dave. In fact, I had to click on the video and watch a couple of times to make sure you weren't two people. I hope your EFHW is doing well. It's a good kit. I have an idea for your kit. If you would like to hear, let's chat sometime.

I have one but have not had a chance to use it yet, Just how long is the antenna wire? I operate portable when camping. thanks W5CI

thanks terrific job fantastic setup 73 from kb2uew

would also love to see how the ATU-130 works, is it like the LDG tuner where you push the button and it tunes the antenna controlling the radio for you?

great job! i've been thinking about doing something like this with my FT891. It's in my Jeep as a mobile radio right now, but sometimes I think about pulling it out and doing it as a go box.

Hi. When will this EFHW be available? Thanks, Anthony

I was worried about heat as well. I'm using an 857D with Armoloq frame inside of a bag and the airflow is extremely limited. It hasn't quit on me yet. I do try to keep the power down to 20w or below but I've been to 100 watts SSB for an entire activation without an issue. I'm in FL and that was sometime in the summer 😂

Great video, please post a list of the parts used etc.

Will it come with the Reel POTA-ble antenna when you sell it to me?

When Wii you have more reel-potable EFHW antennas in stock?
