The Better Meshtastic Tracker Isn’t the One I Expected
I visually inspect, physically compare, and dig into the published specifications and component data behind these two pocket-sized Meshtastic GPS trackers. We examine their nRF52840 processors, SX1262 versus LR1110 LoRa radios, GNSS hardware, integrated antennas, controls, magnetic charging, IP66 versus IP65 protection, 1,000 mAh versus 700 mAh batteries, expected runtime, and overall usability to explain which design makes more sense for off-grid location sharing, hiking, asset tracking, and everyday Meshtastic use.

Raspberry Pi SD Card Swapping: Ham Radio FT8, AllStar, Winlink #shorts
Easily swap SD cards on your Raspberry Pi to switch between different operating systems and configurations for AllStar, FT8, Winlink, and logging. Ultimate flexibility for your projects.
Can you design functional 3D prints without knowing CAD? In this video, I use AI, simple measurements, physical prototypes, and a 3D printer to create a custom frame insert for a ham radio go box. The finished design mounts the radio, battery, power switch, buck/boost charging controller, USB ports, and Anderson Powerpole connections inside a rugged ammo can.

This is not a polished “one prompt and done” magic trick. It is the real design process: describe the part, generate a model, print it, test the fit, identify what went wrong, and revise it until the pieces work together. Along the way, I show how ordinary language, careful measurements, and repeated prototypes can make custom 3D printing accessible even when traditional CAD feels out of reach.
The go box is not wired or powered on in this video, and that is intentional. This project is about designing useful, dimensionally accurate 3D-printed parts, learning from failed prototypes, and proving that beginners can build real solutions one revision at a time.

How to Use FT8 | Complete Setup Guide Using the Xiegu G90
Learn how to use FT8 with the Xiegu G90 in this complete step-by-step FT8 setup guide. I’ll walk through the hardware, radio settings, audio levels, CAT control, WSJT-X configuration, transmit power, and the complete process of getting on the air with FT8. I’m using the Xiegu G90 and TOADs DI8 digital interface as the example station, but the FT8 concepts, WSJT-X settings, operating process, and troubleshooting apply to many HF radios.

If you’re trying to set up FT8, WSJT-X, or digital modes for the first time, this video is designed to take you from radio and computer setup through making actual FT8 contacts. Whether you’re using a Xiegu G90, Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood, or another HF transceiver, you’ll learn how FT8 works, how to configure your station correctly, and how to diagnose the most common FT8 audio, PTT, CAT control, and transmit problems.
