Nice kit. Thanks for the tip on the 9v battery. I ordered 4 👍
Thanks Thomas, I enjoy this type of video and emulated your modular setup for the AX1 antenna years back! My first backpacking setup was an Original QCX mounted on standoffs inside a dollar store pencil box and, like you described, used the tent stakes pouch with rocks for the throw weight. 73 N4NN
You should partner with LNR and design a radio together. The MTR-8 band - Hazel Edition. Hazel swag is in order. She could go viral. Sweet pup.
Ha ha! I love this idea! :) She is a sweet pup indeed.
@@ThomasK4SWL Fox and Hound with Hazel...
If K4SWL assisted in one of the MTR designs, it would be in my cart so fast.
@@ChroniclesofHamRadio-yh2ed Same, but even the ones that haven't been designed by him and Hazel seem to go to fast. I've missed the last three releases. So frustrating!
@@KD9ZHF there is a 4b V2 for sale on QRZ, if you are thinking of one, do it. I am really enjoying my 4B v2.
Probably is good that its springy because it helps keep everything held in and it wont move around. I think I'm going to store my mountaintopper like this. I have everything you showed and it would keep it together nicely!
It works a charm!
Definitely will have to check the link out for pack ideas.
I love packs so much, I could start a separate pack channel. :)
Thank you Thomas.
Wonder if nano vna will fit with the notepad and swr device removed.
You know? I don't have one to test, but it's possible.
Did you say they are working on a new 3 bander or did I misunderstand?
They are. No details on when it'll be in production yet, though.
Thomas! Could you be my first planned CW QSO for a POTA?….in September? I’m working on doing on my birthday month….
Quite possibly! It depends on propagation and my schedule, but I'm up for it. Just let me know, closer to time, when/where!
