any developments on your Bluetooth experience? can you share the link for the Bluetooth device for 891?
I heard about this a couple months ago but was hesitant to pick one up. Glad I didn’t. Looks like a cool idea that was very poorly implemented. No Mac, no iOS, Android only? No thank you.
for the love of god, please stop using the background blur. the ai artifacts is horribly distracting.
Could that work for rms express / winlink and vara with sending emails over rf or hf packet " I think that's a thing " or other hf digital options.
Thanks for this review. I've seen this but was sketched out because it being Chinese made.
Now if they mad that for a G90 that would be interesting
It brings up a good idea that there is definitely a market for this.
@ my thoughts exactly
Nice install. What model is the telescopic pole, and what is the diamater of pole mount? Thanks.
The telescoping pole I have is the DX Commander 10m pole. It was leftover from when I had my Classic setup. I’m not sure about the exact dimensions, but the hitch mount has a 2-inch square opening. I had to sand down some of the plastic on the end of the DX Commander mast to make it fit properly.
Looks great! I'm sure I'd dump a big Dr Pepper all over that radio position!!! It's probably going to be one of those Lido mounts for me, 'cause I'm a such a SLOB!!! Nice work! Very impressive! 🤣
yea... might want to look into some spill proof lids!
Great job on the install!! Looks very clean. I'm looking forward to future updates.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked the setup. I can’t wait to share more updates with you!
Great job! I’m excited to see more. This will be super helpful for me.
Thanks a ton! I'm stoked you liked it-there's more cool stuff coming, so keep an eye out!
now Analogue , DMR, POC , TETRA
Those are some great options! Each has its unique features and benefits. Have you tried any of them yet?
Great video. (Late comment) It's neat to see how we took different approaches to the story. It was a great day, and I look forward to doing more summits together!
Thanks for watching! It was awesome to experience the different perspectives we brought to the adventure. Can't wait for our next summit!
That foam costs twice the price of the case, It’s foam……foam…….
It’s still way cheaper than having to replace your radio because the pick n pluck foam fails to keep your radio protected.
Nice demo! Kaizen makes nice foam, the precut pieces are a nice addition.
Thanks for the compliment! They really make it easy to protect your gear!
That looks like an awesome place to play radio!!
It sure is, and the signal is awesome there!
Next time you are out hiking with gear in the snow, do yourself a favour and put it in a kids plastic sled. It will make your life easier.
Agree, but in this case dragging a sled up NH granite hills is a recipe for disaster. Working on packing light.
Love to see KI1P show up at HamCation!
Yup love his setup. Make sure you check out his channel @lostnationradio as he's been posting more videos!
Even just the intro alone… This needs more views!
Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the intro!
It’s pretty slick how you powerpole your portable battery power into the truck!
I really appreciate your kind words! I’m glad you found the setup impressive-it’s been a game changer for me. Got a video on my HF Mobile Install Coming soon!
@ looking forward to viewing HF Mobile Install video. Thanks for your videos. Also, huge fan of the livestreams.
Nice job! I haven't been able to squeeze in activations the last few work trips, but I'm always ready if the opportunity comes up.
Thanks! Just remember, the best activations are like a good surprise party-always unexpected and a lot of fun when they happen!
That does look very nice, compared to without the frame and lights.
It’s amazing what a little framing and lighting can do-next, I’ll have to hire a stylist for my gear!
nice job… thx forbsharing
Thanks for the compliment! If sharing is caring, then consider me the Santa Claus of UA-cam-spreading joy one video at a time!
very nice review and I will definitely get one soon for my potaBox Thanks for doing the review, more videos soon. Kiko-DV1K from DU-Land
Glad you enjoyed it. More videos like this coming in the future.
Where did yall meet up?
Bear brook state park
Pretty cool weekend!
Yes it was!
👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the show!
Done a few hours search and pounce - welcome to the mayhem!
Nice! Yea it’s always exciting to see the bands so active.
Good morning sir, I think you said you’re using a Flex radio, so is 100w considered low power?
Yes in CQWW under 100w is Low power
Pileups are fun but there is a nice feeling of relief when they're gone, LOL
Right? It's like the universe saying, "Surprise! Now you can breathe!" 😂
Cool video!!! You have sooooo many parks in New Hampshire. I wish we had more here in southern California!!! POTA on!!! 73.
Thanks! Yea we are pretty spoiled here to have so many. Only problem is most of them are private land locked and hard to get to but its the price you pay to POTA!
Great video Eric. Love the Mad Dog Coils sticker on your laptop!
Thanks! The Mad Dog Coils sticker is my secret weapon for making five more dB on SSB. It’s scientifically proven!
That's awesome! I gotta check it out sometime.
For sure! Let me know what you think when you do! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
It’s good to see the size comparison between the three coils. The Rez is rated higher power and is likely more efficient. I’d be interested in seeing how the performance differs on 80 or 40 meters. Just about any well build vertical will be competitive on 20 and up.
Totally agree! It’s cool to see how they stack up. I’ll definitely check out how they perform on 80 and 40 meters. Thanks for the suggestion!
Would like to listen to stations on road no icloud sharing
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's always helpful to know what features our community desires for a better listening experience on the road.
Try investing in a Jackery.... or for that matter just make one. A couple car batteries, inverter, charger; then later you can add in a connection for solar charging. Jus sayin" 🙂
Funny you recommend that. As I'm working on such a thing. Stay tuned for my 100amp hr battery box soon.
I’ve been down that road myself with a dead battery ….. I’ve learned to always carry my 30 watt portable solar panel when remote . Usually running at 20 watts on a 12 volt 20 Amph lithium battery . I usually bring my M1 Super Antenna setup .
Nice setup, man! Always good to be prepared! Can't believe how many times I've been stuck with a dead battery!
@@N1JUR before getting into solar …. I always had a two battery setup …. In parallel in a carry case …. Definitely helped a lot …..
I’m curious as to what wattage you were running at .
I started at 50watts but cranked it up to 100 before the battery went dead
Great video. Can you tell me which Ipad keyboard you are using ? Thank you
Thanks here is the link to it on Amazon. amzn.to/4eHymlc Its call the YeekBee iPad Keyboard Case
@@N1JUR Thank you
I have the REZ Ranger 80 one year plus now and I am very happy with it, I even took it to the Caribbean a couple times for my POTA activation. 73 de N2NWK
That's awesome to hear! The REZ Ranger 80 is a fantastic choice, and taking it to the Caribbean for POTA activation sounds like a great adventure!
Great review Eric.
Martin, thanks! It reminds me got to put another order in for a 40m Coil! Thanks!
So, after I went out without a backup battery and the battery I brought 1/2 charged, you went and did it too? Lol.
Well I did it before we activated Russell Abbott.
@@N1JUR Ahh, okay, then I copied you! Ha ha.
Great job with the video. It's great to see so many options for the coil antennas now. The WRC was my first antenna too.
Thanks a ton! The WRC is a solid choice-good times with that antenna! What other options are you thinking about?
@@N1JUR I'm good with the WRC now, but it's nice to see all the newer options, especially with their construction. The WRC 217" whip is my go-to, paired with the Sporty Forty. I've got the Silber Bullet for 60m and 80m, but I don't use them enough to justify another coil...yet. Plus I have EFHW, OCFD, and EFRW option for lower bands if I'm going that route.
There's sound! 73!
Thanks for noticing! I appreciate you tuning in and catching those details! Again truly sorry for the rookie mistake.. Hope you enjoy the "moving pictures" too :)
I run my rez with a faraday cloth and 17 ft ss whip...quick to deploy..quick to tear down ...works awesome..great swr...kq4ati
