3D Printed Fused Anderson Powerpole Distribution Box

Found this on Makerworld. It’s a 3D Printed Fused Anderson Powerpole distribution box. I actually needed a couple of these for my 705 and FTX go bags. Only took about an hour and a half to print and maybe 20 minutes to assemble. What a cool and very useful little project!

Multiboard 3D Printed Storage System

Multiboard 3D Printed Storage System

A 3D printed fully customizable organization & storage system and it’s awesome! I’ve spent the last week learning about and printing all kinds of stuff for my shack. Drawers, bins, shelves, hooks, you name it, they got it. It’s all (mostly) totally free to download, there are no supports needed to print, the design files are extremely well done, and when you put the parts into your slicer, they are already in the orientation needed to print. This is just too cool!

Icom IC-7300MK2 Unsolicited TX Audio Reports. This Radio Sounds Great!

Icom IC-7300MK2 Unsolicited TX Audio Reports. This Radio Sounds Great!

I Took The New Icom IC-7300MK2 For It’s First POTA & Got So Many Great TX Audio Reports! I just went out to do a POTA with the 7300MK2 because I hadn’t even made a contact with it yet. Then so many people told me how good it sounded on the air! She’s a real beaut Clark. During editing I realized I should have brought an HDMI cable to capture the screen. Would have made an even better video. 🤦‍♂️ Oh well, next time. Hope you enjoy!

ABR Industries FME Series. One Cable, Multiple Connectors!

ABR Industries FME Series. One Cable, Multiple Connectors!

I stopped by ABR Industries the other day to pick up some coax for an antenna project and while I was there, Chuck took some time to tell us about the FME series they have. This comes in all different kinds of coax they make, but the cool thing is, the ends have a female connector on them. That way, you can screw on any of the various connector options they have from N to BNC to SMA to UHF. This is really cool cuz you can have say one coax for portable and just exchange whatever connector you have for whatever radio and antenna you have. Great for wiring up mobile too because the end is so small, it can fish through all the tight spaces in your car, then just screw on your connector and you’re done. Of course you can always save up to 20% off either online or by phone with affiliate code K8MRD10. 😉

Icom IC-7300MK2 V IC-7300 RX Comparison

Icom IC-7300MK2 V IC-7300 RX Comparison

Is there a noticeable difference in RX audio between the 7300mk2 and the 7300? This is not the most scientific test in the world, but I thought I’d do it anyway as this is how I record all of my portable videos. I’m not going to tell you which one I think sounds better. I’m gonna leave that up to you.

NEW! Icom IC-7300MK2 First Look!

NEW! Icom IC-7300MK2 First Look!

Thanks to Gigaparts for sending the NEW ICOM 7300MK2 out on loan so we can see what’s new with this updated radio! It’s a MK2 so basically just an update to the already awesome Icom 7300. We now have USB-C (Finally!!), RX antenna ports, LAN for remote operation, CW Decoding, and HDMI video output. I think it’s supposed to have a better receiver to the tune of ~12dB but don’t hold me to that. This is an unboxing and first look at the menus to see what’s new/changed.
