I just replaced the screws with a couple strips of velcro with enough left over to velcro the tuner to the 705. I usually keep the two together anyway and can change the batteries in less than a minute.
Yes, lachting relays. A complete tune only consumes 100mA for very little time. Then, the tuner uses memory tune for minimal relay use. The internal batteries should last a very long time. Also, alternative a small external Bioenno battery (2 AH) at 13.6V should last even longer! Now, if you use an external Bioenno (4.5-6 AH) to power the 705 just include a power distribution box to power both…this is my setup.. 73,
Bonjour Est-ce qu'on peut mettre des batterie interne et parallèlement alimenter le LDG Z100 avec une alimentation externe. Le But étant de ne pas avoir à retirer à chaque fois les batterie interne lorsqu'on alimente le boîtier à la maison avec une alimentation externe. Est-ce que les deux alimentations sont indépendantes ou faut-il un régulateur BMS pour les piles interne ?
I know it's not efficient, but the box is capable of doing so. That was the point of me mentioning it! I can still check into nets with it. Gave it a shot and got a halfway decent report
I think that the batteries might last days, don’t think you will have any problems. I would put rechargeable batteries and charge them full before going, or better, modifiy it a little bit to use 18650
@@FernandoRodriguez-uo2fk agreed, but it's tiny and light. I couldn't bring myself to spend the money on an extra pack for the 705, it also let's me get 10 watts out!
For occasional portable use they should last the shelf life of the batteries, but replace yearly anyway. Do NOT use alkaline (they leak) or rechargeable (they self-discharge, even Imedion). For shack use plug it in if you wish.

Great demo thanks
Glad I could help!

I would suggest consulting the manual!
Tuning up a 17:1 while impressive, basically results in 0 watts getting out of the antenna from the original 5-10 watts.

In the QRP pack I put together I carry a 6ah lifepo4. So I have that as a backup,.
@@HamRadioNewb more than enough

Too difficult to change batteries. Will wait for the AH-705
Definitely not the most convenient, but it does have dc backup. I’ll already have a lifepo4 for the 705 anyways in the field!
Batteries last a year under normal use. Enjoy paying double the price for a bulkier unit.
I just removed the screws and replaced them with a couple strips of velcro. I can change batteries in less than a minute.
Nice idea @jim vann
They're latching relays; the batteries last forever. How in the world can this be too difficult to change batteries. Who laces up your shoes?
thanks terrific job 73 from kb2uew
Thanks for the kind words!
