Check Out This 2 Meter Flower Pot Antenna By K5ACP.NET

I ran into Brandon, K5ACP while at the Shreveport Ham Fest and was instantly interested in this 2 meter flower pot antenna. https://k5acp.net/index.php/product/2m-flowerpot/ Some of you may remember Brandon, or at lease another one of his products that I featured on the channel. He’s the one who came up with the BNC MOLLE antenna clip https://k5acp.net/index.php/product/bnc-molle-antenna-clip-coax/ that I’m using for my 705 Bag. Brandon does his own design for a lot of really cool amateur radio products and I’m very happy to showcase another one of his creations.

How I Designed A Custom 3D Print With AI

How I Designed A Custom 3D Print With AI

Can you design functional 3D prints without knowing CAD? In this video, I use AI, simple measurements, physical prototypes, and a 3D printer to create a custom frame insert for a ham radio go box. The finished design mounts the radio, battery, power switch, buck/boost charging controller, USB ports, and Anderson Powerpole connections inside a rugged ammo can.

This is not a polished “one prompt and done” magic trick. It is the real design process: describe the part, generate a model, print it, test the fit, identify what went wrong, and revise it until the pieces work together. Along the way, I show how ordinary language, careful measurements, and repeated prototypes can make custom 3D printing accessible even when traditional CAD feels out of reach.

The go box is not wired or powered on in this video, and that is intentional. This project is about designing useful, dimensionally accurate 3D-printed parts, learning from failed prototypes, and proving that beginners can build real solutions one revision at a time.

Faster Tuning: The Easiest Alpha Hex Setup

Setting up the Alpha Hex antenna doesn’t have to be a chore. In this video, I walk you through the full process of assembling the tripod, hex base, and whip antennas. I also dive into the Alpha Antenna tuning chart to show you exactly how to dial in those measurements for both dipole and vertical configurations.

I was able to hit a beautiful 1.5 SWR on the first go! Plus, I’ll show you the quick trick to switch from dipole to vertical in just a few minutes by adjusting the whip length and
