Everything you wanted to know about upgrading to a Flex Radio. I have many questions. Let’s untangle Flex and understand more about the radios, the tech and how they work.

PS – I use StreamYard for these livestreams. Try it for free! And save $10 if you want the HD version with no StreamYard branding version – remember to use this link for the offer: https://streamyard.com/pal/d/6370377447243776

Join me as I remote contrrol my Ham Radio gear looking for interesting contacts around the globe! Callum.

Following my Shack Tour video, I answer your Q&A then go Live on HF and see what DX is out there! Watch this first! https://youtu.be/9_hAEDuu474 – Callum.

We’ve added a field camera so we MIGHT be able to see the sheep and lambs in the field today!

In this video, we progress from the Parasitic array and use the techniques in Phase Angles and Velocity Factor to build a switchable array left/right. This can also be driven without the phasing loop to crate a N/S pattern but personally I don’t think it’s worth it – and the tuning goes to pot too. OK if you are desperate I guess! Callum.

Hilarious that I didn’t have a ROGER, YES or QSL in my bank to press 🙂

I was about to call RU1A when someone else jumped in with MY CALL!? I jumped in and saved the day 🙂

Every time I mention Man-Made QRM, I get an argument from someone telling me I have it wrong. Well, I’ve only been doing this 20 years so I need to know. What is it? QRM or QRN?
