In the last video, we took a look at the Gabil Triple Mag Mount, but today we’re going in a different direction — the Gabil Clamp Mount. This is a heavy-duty, adjustable clamp-style antenna mount designed for temporary or permanent use: tailgates, park tables, fence posts, roof racks, cargo carriers, towers, walls and more.

In this video I’ll unbox it, check the build quality, show you how it works, and talk about where this mount makes more sense than a mag mount. If you do POTA activations, truck-bed installs, tripod masts, or balcony setups, this one might be worth a look.

I’m building a compact, portable ham radio setup in my truck, powered by a Power Queen 125 amp-hour battery with Bluetooth control. It’ll run my FT-857D, winch, diesel heater, laptop, phone, and more. Time for some POTA hunting!

This video is the ultimate test: not just talking about Black Friday ham radio deals, but actually using them to build a complete portable ham station. In the industry, we call that dogfooding—where you eat your own dog food to see if it tastes any good.

Almost everything is from Amazon Black Friday deals, and I’ll show you whether this setup actually works, how it fits in the bag, and why I chose each part for this loadout.

This series will walk through the full portable station build: radios, power, bags, antennas, apps, and setup. No theory, no hypotheticals—just hands-on field gear and making it work.

This is ham radio the way it was meant to be: real gear, real mistakes, real setup, and real results.

Meet the Radioddity GS-10B — a compact dual-band handheld that might just punch above its price tag.

In this video, I unbox it, charge it, scan with it, and dive deep into its quirks — from the confusing USB-C-that-isn’t-really-USB-C, to its clever menu system, analog performance, and Bluetooth features.

Grab your coffee, hit subscribe, and let’s see what Radioddity snuck into the GS-10B!

I usually run higher wattage, but 5 watts got the job done! Check out the tuning on 17 meters. Then, I moved to 20 meters to find more contacts.
