About Verticals (#1425)

Don, VE3OVL, is trying to get back on the air after a 35 year lay-off and wants to better understand the relationship between ground planes and earthing. Dave describes a vertical, and how that is a key factor to a Ham Radio.

This is how Starlink Should have built the Starlink Mini from the start

This is how Starlink Should have built the Starlink Mini from the start

Is the PeakDo LinkPower 2 actually better than the LinkPower 1 for powering your Starlink Mini in the field? I’ve run both — and I put PeakDo’s 5-hour runtime claim to a real timed test.

In this hands-on, non-sponsored review I cover:
– My Starlink power evolution — from the stock cable to the Ugreen 130W battery to the LinkPower 1 and now the LinkPower 2
– Full spec breakdown: battery capacity, charging methods, Starlink Mini power adapter compatibility, and IP ratings
– A real timed battery test on the LinkPower 2 — my actual runtime vs PeakDo’s advertised 5 hours
– Build quality, mounting differences, and the magnetic DC charging port (and what it’s actually designed for)
– The companion app — what I like, and why the subscription nag is a dealbreaker
– How this setup supports POTA activations and JS8Call/CommStat traffic in the field
– Real-world grid-down use: hurricanes, ice storms, wildfire, and flooding — not end-of-the-world scenarios, just the everyday stuff that can cut you off for days

PeakDo reached out and sent the LinkPower 2 for this review. This video is not sponsored, and everything here is my honest, hands-on opinion.

That’s all I got this time. Subscribe if you haven’t, like this video if you do. I’m Bob, K6UDA, and I’m outta here. 73.

Wardriving Meshcore Across North Texas | Off-Grid Network in Action

See how a vehicle tablet interface functions while driving. We examine the Discover Nodes map and Public Channel Messages menus.

This walkthrough focuses on the practical operation of in-car navigation systems using modern tablet hardware. If you are curious about how drivers manage digital mapping tools during transit, this overview demonstrates the interface layout and menu navigation. You will observe how the screen displays proximity data alongside standard vehicle operation.

We break down the user experience of interacting with Discover Nodes in a mobile environment. By reviewing these specific Public Channel Messages settings, users can better understand how to configure their vehicle tablet interface for real-time updates. The footage provides a clear look at the tablet’s functionality without the clutter often found in software tutorials.

This S1 Solar Node is currently sold out, but when it becomes available again, it will be here – https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=zMiT7d24N2w&mid=54066&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fetsy.com%2Flisting%2F1679363121%2Fmeshtastic-solar-node-s1

Practical, decentralized communications — no towers, no carriers, no permission needed. This channel covers ham radio, Meshtastic and mesh networks, GMRS, and off-grid gear for staying connected anywhere.

This I Why You Need An N6ARA TinyFilter!

Post date July 27, 2026

This I Why You Need An N6ARA TinyFilter!

The TinyFilter From N6ARA Electronics will suppress radio frequencies outside of the two meter band which stops radio Desense. This is incredibly valuable in RF saturated environments. It also suppresses spurious emissions! https://n6ara.com/product/tinyfilter-2m/

Go with BNC for fast antennas changes. I like these adapters!

TinyFilter 2 Meter Band Pass Filter by K6STR & N6ARA

Post author By admin
Post date July 27, 2026

TinyFilter 2 Meter Band Pass Filter by K6STR & N6ARA

Designed by K6STR and sold by N6ARA, the TinyFilter is a small 10 watt 2 meter band pass filter created out of necessity. Mike, K6STR was doing some 2 meter SOTA activations and was getting his signal squashed by adjacent non ham signals (how dare they!). So Mike & Ara teamed up to bring us the TinyFilter. It’s a really easy DIY kit that should honestly take maybe 15 minutes to build. Most of it is just soldering on either BNC or SMA connectors to the pre-tuned PCB. If you’d like to pick one up for yourself, you can do so here: https://n6ara.com/product/tinyfilter-2m/

Homebrew ATU Roundtable: L-Match, T-Match & Antenna Projects

Homebrew ATU Roundtable: L-Match, T-Match & Antenna Projects

In this Homebrew Workbench Roundtable, Adam K6ARK, Tobias KK7BCO, and I dig into QRP antenna tuners and workbench projects. We cover L-match and T-match concepts, Adam’s K6ARK QRP Antenna Matching Unit, and the G0FUW HB-ATU based on the classic Heathkit HFT-9 circuit. Tobias built two scratch versions plus a kit. I just got my parts together.

On the antenna side, Tobias is working on a trapped vertical for 15, 17, and 20 meters, I added 60 meter legs to my linked dipole, and Adam built an aftermarket battery bank for the Yaesu FT-3DR and some tiny QRP bandpass filters.

Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ). Every aspect of portable operations is covered in this biweekly podcast, from news and gear to achievements, the workbench, contests, awards, and beyond.
