In this video I actually go into Yaesu’s manual for the FTX-1 and FTX-Optima to try and help with some of the confusion about the radio. Sorry it’s long so get your favorite beverage and check it out!
# Yaesu, #hamradio , #ametureradio,
In this I tell my thoughts about the 2 new radios that will be announced at Dayton this by Yaesu.

In this video I go over changing my KX2 bag to one that fits into a backpack better. I don’t really need to use the extra bag but being on a motorcycle and possibly crashing some extra protection is good. Comment on what you might do different I have a couple weeks to adjust things up.

In this video I show what happens sometimes when we try to make one of our antennas fail.
In this video I test a manual antenna tuner , does this work? There will be a link for one like it , they just discontinued it the day after I shot the video.

In this video I build and test this cool 70cm Yagi antenna available on Amazon! The cool thing is it’s only 35.99, hard to buy the parts for that!
YAGI Antenna High Gain 7dBi -70cm, https://amzn.to/3XN1ukX

In this video I show how I made this antenna from parts you can easily order on Amazon!
A Moxon antenna, a compact, two-element Yagi, typically achieves a gain of around 5.5 to 9.7 dBi (decibels relative to an isotropic antenna). It’s known for its high front-to-back ratio and a wide forward lobe, making it a good choice for directional communication.
The Moxon antenna or Moxon rectangle is a simple and mechanically rugged two-element parasitic array, single-frequency antenna.[1] It takes its name from the amateur radio operator and antenna handbook author Les Moxon

In this video I test the Vatrer 100ah lithium battery. I test to see if it can run power tools from an inverter and then load test it to see if it has the capacity that’s stated.
Lithium batteries are essential for disaster preparedness and emergency power because they can provide reliable, efficient, and sustainable backup power for various devices and applications that augment disaster
preparedness.

I was bored one day and decided to design a enclosure for my 4:1 matching unit. I tested it on a POTA but the band wasn’t very good that day but my reports back were really good, Make sure to like an subscribe, my plan is to torture test this setup on FT8 to see if there is too much heat build up in the enclosure, hopefully not. I took the antenna on a camping trip and the scenery is awesome!
