Pecron sent me a Solar Generator Power Station for a video review. Overall, I like it! I took it out to the field to test it for RFI from the wide-band receiver on the Icom IC-705. The results were somewhat what you'd expect, but better than most! Check out this video and let me know your thoughts...

First look at the FX-4CR 20w QRP from BG2FX.com - this is a neat little radio with a built-in soundcard, which makes it easy to connect to a computer and run FT8. Also with Bluetooth! Let's take a tour with the radio today, and expect to see some POTA videos with it soon.

On tonight's livestream I plan to install a Raspberry Pi4 board into an sBitx V2 that I picked up at Hamvention last month. This radio can be purchased fully assembled, or without a Pi, or as a kit. I bought the version without the Pi because I need a few extra Pis at home and wanted to build it on a Livestream. Join me tonight!

My first video about the VHQ Hexbeam was recorded at the Orlando Hamcation of 2023 - since then, lots of people have taken an interest in this fantastic antenna, and David, the designer, has created lots of new and happy customers.
Today I get to follow up with David at the Dayton Hamvention of 2023 to see how sales are going and how happy his customers are that have purchased the KING of Hexbeams since February!
