The Meshnology W10 LoRa AIoT Dev Kit is an all-in-one ESP32-S3 development board built for long-range wireless, sensor, tracking, voice, and display projects. It combines an ESP32-S3 dual-core processor with LoRa, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5 LE, multi-constellation GNSS, an SHT41 temperature and humidity sensor, and a 6-axis QMI8658 IMU with accelerometer and gyroscope. It also supports cameras, touch displays, audio through an ES8311 codec, Arduino-compatible expansion, USB-C power, and battery-oriented power management, making it a compact platform for IoT, AI voice, environmental monitoring, off-grid tracking, and portable field projects.

In this video, I take a closer look at the Meshnology W10 to see whether it really deserves the title of ultimate all-in-one ESP32-S3 development board. We will examine the included 1.54-inch IPS display, LoRa and GPS antennas, speaker module, onboard sensors, connectivity options, expansion ports, and the practical value of putting so much hardware onto one board. Is the W10 a faster path to building LoRa trackers, smart-agriculture systems, AI voice devices, sensor stations, and other connected prototypes, or does “all the sensors” create a new pile of complexity?

Amazon Prime Day is back October 6–7, and I went digging through the current radio deals to find the discounts that are actually worth paying attention to. In this video, I’m highlighting some of the best ham radio, GMRS, handheld radio, and accessory deals available during the sale, including gear from Xiegu, Radioddity, Raddy, Baofeng, and more. Some of these are official Prime Big Deals, while others are simply strong Amazon discounts running at the same time.

I’m also giving away a Baofeng SW-9, so watch the video for the giveaway details and how to enter. Whether you’re looking for an HF radio, a new handheld, or just trying to stretch your radio budget a little further, these are the Amazon Prime Day ham radio deals I think are worth a closer look. Prices can change quickly during Prime Day, so check the links while the deals are still active.

The Radioddity CB-5000 looks like a compact modern CB, but there’s a lot more hiding under the hood. In this video I dig into AM, FM and SSB operation, real-world power output, VHF receive, VFO behavior, hidden menu options, microphone compatibility, and the CPS programming software.

I also got the CPS running under Wine on Linux, worked through the expanded features unlocked by the internal jumper, and tested the radio as an actual operating tool rather than just reading the spec sheet. If you’re considering the CB-5000, this is the feature tour I wish had existed before I started digging.

Boondock Edge and Boondock Tango can turn almost any radio audio source into an offline AI transcription system. Connect an HT, HF radio, scanner, receiver, or other audio source, and the system can listen, transcribe, archive, and organize radio traffic locally without relying on an internet connection. That makes it useful for ham radio, scanner monitoring, emergency communications, field operations, and anyone who wants searchable radio logs without sending everything to the cloud.

👉 DIY: https://github.com/Boondock-Echo/Boondock-Edge-API
👉 A1S Board: https://go.temporarilyoffline.com/8f1vbr

In this video I walk through the Boondock setup, including the Tango audio interface, the Edge dashboard, and local transcription using AI models running on your own hardware. I also show how the system handles real radio traffic and how the workflow changes when you are completely off-grid. If your local hardware is not powerful enough for the transcription quality or speed you want, Boondock also offers a cloud option through portal.boondockecho.com. Super affordable and Flexible Rates

This setup is interesting because it is not tied to one specific radio. If you can get audio out of it, you can feed it into the system. Whether you are monitoring amateur radio, public safety, airband, GMRS, HF, or scanner traffic, Boondock Edge gives you a way to turn live radio audio into searchable text, recordings, alerts, and a persistent archive.

Steps To Install:

1. Plug in Tango or Echo to Your Machine via USB
2. Install OS
3. Connect to Network (if not done already)
4. Download Install Script: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Boondock-Echo/Boondock-Edge-Dashboard/main/install.sh
5. Run Installer: sudo bash install.sh, choose defaults… or not. Add in username/password
6. Visit website: https://hostname:4000
7. login with your user/password you setup before
8. Click the Gear in the top toolbar
9. Click System and setup Wifi, enter the IP of the device you’re on – remember this?
10. Recorders – refresh, if it doesn’t show up, disco/reco
11. Click Auto-Configure (possible firmware update)
12. Feed an audio source (your HT, your HF, your PC, broadcastify, your scanner, etc)
13. visit boondock.local
14. click recorder
15. set your audio level at just above the noise floor (the gray), click save settings
16. make some noise and watch the magic happen
