Good morning James, I like set up you are showing with SW-3-B these 3.2 lithium batteries, and 64.1 spark plug, gee things are getting better on portable setups. Thank for your video I really enjoyed mate. 73 de Dennis vk4oc.
Thanks Dennis for your comments. I like this setup for portable operating as it is light and compact, it all fits easily into a backpack. However I also brought the IC-705 and a larger battery so I could operate SSB, so that added a lot of weight, 73
The SW-3B is a great QRP radio. I always have it in my backpack as the main or backup radio. The clear audio is good for picking weak signals out of the noise, 73
“wid” is an abbreviation of “with”. While it is only one letter less, it is quicker to send “d” (dah and two dits) than “th” (dah, space and four dits). Similarly, “fer” is an abbreviation of “for”. Thanks Jonathan for watching the video, 73
The speaker is a Native Union Monocle, you should be able to buy it on EBay or Amazon. It is a great speaker and works well with the SW-3B and QCX-mini. Thanks for watching the video and for your comments Stephan, 73
@@vk2ter Thanks a lot for your feedback James! I found it and it's available in different colors (I like bright colors when outdoors). Watch out for the "salties" and have fun! 73 Stephan
@@PortableRadio Not a problem Stephan. I might order myself another one too as I bought the speaker about 7 years ago so the battery may start to go soon. Luckily there are no “salties” where I live! 73

What a nice sound this transceiver has! So sorry I sold it earlier.

Thanks for the video James!
What speaker do you use? I guess it's an active one. It just has the right size.
