    Ah, I didn’t have an IC-705 on the list of accessories for my GSA. Good call.

    The Flip-Flops are a nice touch Bob. WE are in lockup for Covid-19... Another relevant video!

    I bought the same two antennas and totally agree with you! That Comet was a total POS. Made maybe three contacts with it. I was knocking out contacts left and right with the 705 and the Trail Friendly.

    Hi Bob,

    Hello Bob, another great video, however may I suggest, for your VHF/UHF whip antenna, you get a PL259 to BNC Female adaptor, then it can be mounted directly onto your Wind Clamp bracket reducing the load on the radio's connector and one less mount you need to carry. 73 VK5BD

    Thanks for the tip on the carry case. Could have used something like that for the KX3 too.

    What a bike, what a set-up! Nicely cut video! My 705 is on the way and I plan to take it to the woods on my electric trike, so your accessories bag ideas will certainly be useful! And I'll do a video to share my own results. Good luck! 73! Linas LY2H

    Probably pack two KX2’s including HT, AX1/AXE1, Trail Friendly, internal battery, and a Bioenno battery in same bags.

    In your thumbnail is the purple stand, what kind of stand is that and where can it be purchased?

    I hope you have an effective sound deadening muffler.

    Have the End Fed by the PAR end Fed guys with the same specs as your Vibroplex version I think... Looks the same and that antenna really performs! Best portable HF antenna I have by a long shot... I use it with my 40ft Spiderbeam mast lashed to the spare tire carrier on the back of the RV. 73.
