Aferiy Nano100 Portable Power Station With Solar Charging!

Post date July 23, 2025

Available On Amazon: https://amzn.to/4lALoF3]

The Aferiy Nano100 features 100 watt USB-C PD with built in retractable USB-C cable, 45 Watt USB-C PD and USB-A outlets. With a capacity of 99 watt hours, it’s TSA compliant and features a built in solar charge controller for charging whilst portable. It has a nice, easy to read digital display that shows both charging and discharging, as well as how much time till charged/discharged. Unlike every other battery bank of this kind I own, this one uses LiFePO4 instead of LiPO cells giving up to 2000 charge cycles and is way safer than using LiPO.

Why These RT95 Radios Got RETURNED (And How to Fix It!)

Post author By admin
Post date July 23, 2025

🛠️ Another day, another RT95! In this third installment of our repair/QC series, we tear into another Retevis RT95 returned from Amazon — and surprise, there’s probably nothing wrong with it… again.

📦 Could the problem be as simple as a wrong region code? You bet. These radios might be locked out of 70cm transmit because they weren’t meant for the U.S. market. So before you toss your RT95 into the junk pile — or back to Amazon — watch this.

✅ What you’ll see in this video:
• What *really* happens to Amazon returns
• A teardown of an RT95 "defective" unit
• How region-locking kills functionality
• A quick peek into the QA process

📺 Don’t miss the first two episodes if you want the full RT95 arc:
• https://youtu.be/4mUwD_sgHdg?si=oS-jvtXEfEOgExUd
• https://youtu.be/mWLdPlngRTo?si=DtSsMQAR_qxxaRdA

🔧 Let’s stop calling them “broken” and start calling them “unloved.”
73, Steve – KM9G
