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.

Yaesu FTM-310D Sapphire Install: The One Big Problem

Installing the Yaesu FTM-310D in Sapphire turned out to be a much bigger project than I expected! Join me and Bill as we work through mounting the new radio, customizing power poles, and tackling the challenge of routing control cables through the center console and under the carpet.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly—from the custom bullet point mount to the final radio test—until we ran into a major issue with the 20ft control cable. If you’ve ever dealt with mysterious power blinks or cable length issues during a mobile install, you’ll want to see how this one unfolded.

Tank Radio SpoolTenna Review: Easy Wire Antenna Setup

Is the SpoolTenna the best turnkey HamRadio solution for POTA? In this Short, I’m giving my final thoughts on this AntennaSetup. While it’s a bit bulky for some RadioGear bags, the ease of use for a 40mBand WireAntenna is unbeatable. I love the strain relief and banana clip features that make this AmateurRadio tool so reliable. Whether you’re into PortableRadio or need a quick EmergencyComm setup, this TankRadio review covers why this SignalSearch tool is a winner. Don’t forget to use code TANK at checkout to save!
