The Two Microphone Problem

The Two Microphone Problem

I have 2 radios in the car which means I have 2 microphones. I’ve always had them mounted on my Lido mount but I never really liked the way I did it. It was not the best placement. So I found a solution by Johnathan, KM4CFT that does away with my cluttered mess. A simple yet elegant 3D print solution. And I use PETG btw.

Amazon Repairs On The Road: The Show Must Go On!

Amazon Repairs On The Road: The Show Must Go On!

The show must go on! 🛠️ I’m currently on a road trip along on my way to Dayton Hamvention, but a piece of gear from Amazon decided to quit on me. In today’s video, I’m turning my motel room into a makeshift ham radio bench to see if I can get this Retevis RT95 mobile radio back on the air.

Being a "Ham on the Street" means being prepared for anything. Whether it’s a loose connection, a blown fuse, or a firmware glitch, I’ll show you my process for portable radio repair and the essential tools I keep in my travel kit to stay operational while traveling.

In this video, we cover:
🛠️ Unboxing and diagnosing the Amazon radio issue.
🛠️ Setting up a mobile repair station in a hotel.
🛠️ Step-by-step troubleshooting for the Retevis RT95.
🛠️ Tips for maintaining your ham radio gear while on a road trip.

The Hidden Trick With 2-VFO Radios

The Hidden Trick With 2-VFO Radios


Today I want to show you a hidden trick with 2-VFO radios that completely changed how I listen and manage to pile-ups on HF. Most amateurs use dual VFOs for split operation – listening to the DX on one VFO and the callers on the other. But I accidentally discovered another use entirely.

By using two completely different antennas at the same time – for example a vertical on one VFO and a low dipole or delta loop on the other – you can create a kind of stereo image in your headphones. Longer-distance, low-angle DX may appear strongly in one ear, while more local stations arrive more strongly in the other.

On 40m and below this becomes fascinating.

In this video I demonstrate:

How I configure left/right audio
Why different antennas hear signals differently
How arrival angle affects reception
Why this helps untangle pile-ups
Why 2-VFO radios are far more useful than most people realise

Headphones recommended for this one!

Homebrew Radio from 1950s Crystals to Satellite – Stuart M0SGV

Homebrew Radio from 1950s Crystals to Satellite - Stuart M0SGV

Stuart M0SGV started soldering at age 8 in the 1950s, building crystal sets with a copper tip heated over a gas cooker. Nearly 70 years later he is still at the bench, building tube transmitters from 1949 magazine circuits, Hans Summers QMX and QDX rigs, a Michigan Mighty Mite, and a high voltage power supply built from scratch to power all of it.

In this episode Stuart walks us through a dozen homebrew projects, shares his philosophy on project selection, and offers hard won advice on soldering and why leaded solder is non-negotiable. We also talk about his connections to the Michigan QRP Club and G QRP Club, and his next big project: a QO-100 geostationary satellite transceiver.

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.
