The time stamp shows that this is 5 years old - still very relevant to me! Your ham shack has certainly been “beefed up” with more radios and stuff. Thanks to HAMRADIOPREP I just passed my tech test (KQ41XD) and hope to make “first contact” with ISS tonight (Baofend UV-5R), understanding that my little signal may be trampled on - but - high hopes. Working on General exam. 73!

Great video. Passed my tech in June. Hope to pass General in August. Just now figuring out how to power my shack and this video is spot on in helping me understand how to use the Powerwerx stuff. Love the battery analyzer. Definitely need one of those. Thanks for helping clarify a beginners confusion over powering your HAM stuff and any Raspberry Pi Builds.
-
That distribution block is EXACTLY what I need as I've got the older Rig Runner with screw-on terminals that I want to convert to Power Poles. Thanks for the tip!

Mike, Lifelong Michigan resident I do not much care for the cold weather myself. This is the first video of your's that I have watched, I am now subscribed. TThanks Jim kc8bdr Waterford, Mi.
-
Me either ! Really got me going !Thank you !
-
Watching some of your older content. The good 'ol days of K8MRD Radio Stuff! Still great and still helpful no matter when. Cheers and 73!
-
Another Great video! I used the same case for a VHF Go Box. Holds everything uber secure! I have a video on it on my channel. Keep up the great work!
-
Ahh, look what I found! Your video on the Powerwerx volt/wattmeter. Well done. Nice job on the video testing the Bioenno 20A battery. I did a lot of research and agree that it is a great battery. 73
-
wish I could hear it all the time.
-
Just got the same block. Ain't waiting for USPS to arrive so much fun.
-
LMAO!!! "not till something starts smoking"
-
Built mine with the intention of using it for field day.

Thanks for sharing. I have an FT- 891. You will be surprised how much power it draws. I have a lead cell also and if I get to drawing much more 10-15 watts it will blow the 7.5 amp inline power fuse going to the radio because of the voltage drop in the battery raising the amps drawn by the radio. OH8STN has a good video on the current draw of the 891 on his channel.
-
I dig this.
-
Cool video. Thanks! 73

Great info. On your other YT vid ("DIY LiFePO4 Ham Radio Battery Backup System"), you mention @10:40 you don't really need a PWRgate, unless you want to add solar. If I needed to, can I add a Powerwerx MPPT-150-14.6, DC-to-DC Solar Charger Controller AND the panels (GoalZero) to the PD-8 in this video? Would I need anything else in the path?
-
Have you figured out how to use the powerpole retention for the antenna yet? My suggestion would be to have a blank set (no wires) so you can anchor the antenna wire with the clip. Easy Peasy.
-
I have the FT450. I brought it for a 5 day hunting trip last fall.
-
Did you even make that antenna video you mentioned concerning using power pole connectors?
-
Thanks - My wife keeps asking me why I need so many wires when I play with my radios :)
