We’ve already taken a look at Gabil’s Triple Mag Mount and their Clamp Mount, and today we’re finishing the series with the last piece of the setup — the Gabil Coax Feed-Through. This is a flat, low-profile pass-through cable designed to get coax into your vehicle, RV, or cabin without drilling holes and without slamming your coax in the door.

This is not a full install video — just a tabletop review showing the build, the connector type, length, shielding, and why this exists for vehicle and portable operators.

An amateur radio operator tunes into a 2-meter frequency and discovers what sounds like a ‘Mars modded’ signal. A faint, mysterious transmission from space.

In this video, I take a closer look at one of the most common debates in ham radio:
👉 Do you actually need a hotspot for DMR?

There’s a persistent belief that DMR radios are “basically internet devices” and that hotspots are required. So I decided to test that idea and see if it’s possible to skip the hotspot entirely and still make contacts.

Using a Radioddity GD-168 (Anytone D168UV), I walk through a setup that connects directly to a network router and accesses DMR talkgroups without a traditional hotspot.

Along the way we’ll cover:
• What a DMR hotspot actually does
• How DMR radios connect to networks like BrandMeister
• Whether you can operate DMR without RF
• The role of internet vs RF in digital voice modes
• And why this topic causes so much debate in the ham radio community

If you’ve ever wondered:
• “Do I need a hotspot for DMR?”
• “Can a DMR radio connect directly to WiFi or Ethernet?”
• “Is DMR just internet?”

This video will definitely give you something to think about.
