Antenna Tuner Explained: How It Works & Finds Your Match! #shorts
Curious how that clickity-clack sound happens? Automatic antenna tuners use a series of inductors and capacitors, measuring SWR to intelligently guess and adjust for your perfect match. It’s like a tiny tractor finding the best signal!

We’ve got the beginnings of a low-cost contender in the BT TNC space. APRS/Winlink/etc are possible, but its still a little beta.
And that’s why they sent it to me!My testing shows its not ready for prime time yet. So I’m glad they sent it to me instead of to the world first.
I’ve given them some feedback and I’ll share some of the behind the scenes work with you.
This is my testing session of the software with APRSDroid and TRX with the Big Red – the Vero VR-N76.Come along for the ride.

This Solar Generator SHOCKED Me — 4 Hours of Ham Radio Power! 🔋☀️
This is one of the coolest pieces of gear I’ve tested in a long time. The PowerFilm LightSaver Max is more than just a solar panel — it’s a solar generator in a roll-up tube that can charge itself, power your rig, and fit inside your backpack.
In this video, I put it through a real-world torture test: running my Icom IC-705 on 10 watts FT8 for over 4 hours straight. No wall power, no gas — just pure sunlight stored in this portable battery.
Whether you’re into POTA, emergency comms, or off-grid ops, this setup proves solar QRP can be both simple and reliable.

In this video, I take apart a popular open-source Z-Match antenna tuner and explain exactly how it works — and why it’s different from Pi-network and T-network tuners.
We crack it open, look at the transformer-coupled coils, the dual variable capacitors, the impedance switch, and even the mysterious resistor load inside. Then we put it on the air and tune a 9 foot 4" antenna on 80m and 17m using both noise-tuning and carrier-based tuning methods.
You’ll also see how the “tune mode” works, why those 68-ohm resistors aren’t a 50-ohm dummy load, and how to use the Z-Match safely at QRP power levels.
