In this video, I test out the new USB cable tester from Treedix, a powerful little gadget that helps you figure out exactly what your cables are capable of — from data speeds and power delivery (PD) support to USB-C e-marker chip detection and cable resistance.

Whether you’re troubleshooting a sketchy OTG setup, figuring out why your camera cable is slow, or just want to organize your mess of random USB cords, this cable tester tells you what’s up — with a full-color screen and pin-level diagnostics.

🔌 In this video:
• Hands-on with the new Treedix USB cable tester with screen
• USB-A, USB-C, Lightning, Micro-B, and Mini-B cable testing
• Detecting USB 2.0 vs 3.2, e-marker chips, and PD support
• Resistance and shielding checks for safe charging
• Testing real-world cables, adapters, and gas station specials
• Why even expensive cables can still be junk
• Why this tool matters for hobbyists, camera gear, and radio builders

👉 Treedix USB Tester with Acrylic Case (Basic model): https://geni.us/LDquRkB
👉 4×6 Storage Case: https://geni.us/R6Z1H

💬 If you’ve ever wondered why your “fast charge” cable isn’t fast — or why your radio won’t connect to your phone — this tool makes the answer clear.

In this video, I take a look at the N7DDC ATU-100 Automatic Antenna Tuner, preassembled by GooZeeZoo. This compact, affordable, and open-source tuner is a great addition to any ham radio shack. Join me as I unbox the unit, walk through its features, test its performance with different antennas, and explain how it works.

👉 Perfect for QRP and portable operations, the ATU-100 is a reliable HF tuner with automatic tuning capabilities. It supports 0.1–30 MHz, handles up to 100 watts, and is based on the open-source firmware by N7DDC.

🔧 I cover:
🖍️ What’s inside the GooZeeZoo ATU-100
🖍️ How it performs in real-world use
🖍️ Menu functions and display walk-through
🖍️ Tuning results with various antennas

Join me, Steve (KM9G), as I dive into the world of 9:1 ununs with an unconventional core! My friend Ziggy sent over a minty green toroid, and we’re testing whether it holds up against the traditional cores used in ham radio builds.

🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ The science behind 9:1 ununs and core selection
✅ How different toroids impact performance
✅ A real-world antenna test in the rain 🌧️
✅ SWR results across multiple bands
✅ LIVE FT8 contacts—including a 5W QRP DX to St. Helena!

🚀 Can you really make a 9:1 work with any core? Let’s experiment and find out!
