I agree, the fewer connections the better. Your method is very effective. With respect to the MFJ style pass-thru panel, think outside the box, just remove the bulkhead connectors and pass the coax right through the panel itself. You could always widen the hole if needed. When I consider drilling a 2-inch hole through an exterior wall of my home my immediate concern is resale value. Not a huge deal, but there would be a 2-inch hole through an exterior wall, or at least a patched 2-inch hole through an exterior wall. No issue at all if the shack was an actual shack, like a Tuff Shed out in the backyard. I'd be drilling all the holes in exterior walls as I would need, but a Tuff Shed isn't my home. Good idea about keeping critters out - steel wool. I don't think many critters would enjoy chewing through steel wool. I would have left it with just some spray foam, but then again critters might chew through that, steel wool sounds like a far better idea.

With this anteena do i need to use a anteena tuner ft891 user

Lol, most of the handheld antenna's are dummy loads; good one. This might be a good one for me to start with.

I love all your videos!!’

I recently used this idea. Kinda freaky drilling a hole completely through the side of my house! I drilled a small pilot hole from inside to the outside first so the holes from the hole saw would line up. Slid in the 2 1/2” pvc pipe with the 90 on the outside and caulked with silicone. Pretty much looks like a vent for a heating system. Now I’ve got great access for feed line, coax and control wires. Might be best to do this when your wife is not home.

I recently bought one of these Surecom SW-102 meters. It’s a great product. However, mine looked like it was a product return that was sold to me as new. It also didn’t come with the ground plane. So, I sent it back and bought their SW-33 Plus meters, from a different seller, instead, which I think is better suited to the ht radios I have.

I’m your biggest fan !!!😊😊

Hopefully we'll catch ya on FM or AM soon! 73 Greg.

Very helpful, thanks! Love your cat!

Good setup, but require a time to get on the air, I've assemble other ham_case for portable operation ruclips.net/video/6kygpEie-pc/видео.html

thank you Greg a lot of great info it's what I was looking for thanks .

Like it! Simple and effective 👍

Sum knob bah 👍

I love your content !!!

Basement, heh?

-50C uffda Coldest I’ve seen was -32F, had to work outside all night long that night :(

Nice to see 146.520 being used in Alberta. I’m in Minnesota and I’ve heard it a few times in the city I’m in by people passing by, in other cities in northern & southern Minnesota, & in Iowa too.

Hi Greg! Nice Shack, thanks for the video! I'm looking to buy an Anytone AT-778UV from DXCanada, see your review there and don't see it here in your new arrange. May you share what happens with it? Jorge VE3EAD

How do you power tuner ?

Oliver is an awesome guy and his QRZ profile is very informative. Thanks for sharing. 73! KB9T

Do you recommend the FC-50 still? I have some problems with my dipole antenna and poor RST reports.

I have 3 of these coming into my shack, hi hi! Had no issues with critters or bugs getting in too....etc. 73

Working great! What antenna are you using?

I would like to have seen you try the 70D in C4FM mode to see if the counter could read it. I have an old radio Shack Frequency Counter that is suppose to only detect analog signals but it does detect signals from my NXDN radio, but not DMR radio.

Hope to maybe do some QSOs tomorrow

The conterpoise that came with the set can also be used as the antenna as a sloper

I have the same hot spot the rf shark i had it for 4 years.👍💯⚡

You never used your ground plate! That’s why your SWR reading was very high! It’s very important to use it. SURECOM stopped supplying the ground plates. Greedy EBay is charging €80 for the ground plate. Greedy U.S companies are charging $50- $60. The meters cost half that price with the ground plate thrown in.

Do you run the coax from the outside of the house right to the antenna?

Good job on the video .

Thanks for making the nice tribute. Al was a dear friend and mentor to me as well and was the heart of our radio club the last number of years. I will miss him!

A very nice tribute, sir. One of my dearest friends, and a fellow ham became a silent key in 2021. I can relate. I am very sorry for your loss.

We only had a couple years to meet Al and his family and many others in Fort Mac. He was very much an inspiration and willing to help everyone with his knowledge. We gathered many times for dinners and we always looked forward to seeing him. It saddens me to know he has left all of us as he was such an amazing person. Very sorry and will always remember and miss Al.

Thank you for taking the time to make and post this *quick review* video of the Anysecu SF-103

Cool vid and device! Would this help to align SSB on a radio?

How do you like the FC-50 tuner? Does it match the impedance enough and what antennas do you use it with?

After a year...any heat issues with radio being there? I am considering same thing

I have a whole collection of Chameleon Antennas. I love their build quality and Made in the USA! Did not see you check out the SWR and use the tuner. What kind of readings did you have for 20m and 40m? KD9MSP

That knob just slightly changes the switching frequency and thusly, the harmonics that may have landed on your frequency. Some other switching power supplies have used this technique as well. When you can't suppress 'em, move 'em.

I just bought both of those and have yet to plug them in and use them. 73 de K6ZTM

Nice quad! What brand and band is it? What all is on that tower? Looks pretty full.

Fun, nice to see an installment.

On a wire-antenna like you were using, would having the ends close to the shed and house cause deadening type issues, especially if there's metal siding in the construction? Do the signals come from the ends of the wire when transmitting, and if so then metal in buildings might be blocking them? Still much to learn on my end. Thank you for all the ham-related videos.

I was wondering about this product only the other day. :)

Greg, no matter where I get the software from..US or RU, I cannot seem to get past the error cannot open port. I have watched many videos on this radio programming and did see one that had the same issue and solve it by using the Russian version. However it did not help me. Now from what I can find out, rumor has it that windows 11 does not have a driver for the prolific 2303 cord.Can you help? 73 N6ZKI.

Hope to reach Europe this fall, California this summer. VE3WLX, 73

I had two of 'em. Which, in truth, was one too many. Damn nice radio, though. So many nice features & easy to program off the computer too. It's the radio goes in the car for any kind of road trips (when ever it is we can get back to serious traveling again ;-) ) 73 de W8IJN

Where'd you track that mounting bracket down at? I can't seem to find them anywhere :(

Do you have a link to where you purchased the power supply?

Mine makes a odd clicking noise in the fan
