The Shocking Truth About Counterpoises and End Fed Antennas

Are counterpoises necessary on EFHW or random wire antennas? What’s the right length? Should you let your coax do the work — or add a dedicated wire?

In this deep-dive technical video, we explore the truth about counterpoise usage in End-Fed Half-Wave (EFHW) and random wire antennas. Learn how current flows, how impedance matching affects performance, and how to reduce common-mode current and RFI.

Can Redodo’s New Inverter Power a Ham Shack Noise-Free?

Can Redodo’s New Inverter Power a Ham Shack Noise-Free?

I’ve trusted Redodo batteries for a long time — but this time, they’ve gone way beyond batteries.

In this video, I put the Redodo 2000W pure sine wave inverter and MPPT solar charge controller through real-world testing to see if this combo can actually deliver reliable off-grid power for an RV or ham radio shack.

⚡ What this setup solves:
• No more mismatched inverter + controller combos
• Smooth, pure sine power for sensitive gear
• Simple installation with solid build quality
• Remote control convenience for daily use

If you’ve been looking for an all-in-one off-grid power solution, this Redodo system might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

@FabhcunGorm is wondering how a mag mount connects to the roof of a car. Is it similar to a plate capacitor?

GMRS Repeater Linking | Is It Ever Justified?

Post author By admin
Post date December 9, 2025

GMRS Repeater Linking | Is It Ever Justified?

Ever wondered if linking GMRS repeaters across miles (or states!) is a smart upgrade or a fast track to fines? In this video, we dive deep into a heated Reddit thread from r/gmrs where a newbie calls out a popular YouTuber’s claim that linked systems comply with FCC Part 95 rules. Spoiler: The community isn’t buying it!

From FCC’s clear prohibitions in §95.1733(a)(8) and §95.1749 against interconnecting for voice comms, to real-world gripes like interference bleed, frequency monopolization, and why GMRS is meant for short-range local chats (not nationwide ragchews). We break down the top arguments:
– **Against**: Illegal linking steps on simplex users, ignores GMRS’s 8-pair limit, and risks license revocation – especially risky for hams moonlighting in GMRS!
– **For**: Handy in remote spots for emergency spotting or EOCs, with some clubs twisting rules via DTMF control or internal networks.

Is enforcement waking up after myGMRS shutdown? Should we push for more VHF frequencies? Watch as we unpack the drama, share enforcement stories, and explore alternatives like Meshtastic for off-grid linking.

Whether you’re a GMRS rookie or seasoned ham, this is your guide to staying compliant and connected. Drop your take: Linked repeaters – yay or nay?
