    Aloha Bob, this M5 Stack looks amazing!
    I hope one day that this will work on my Xiegu G90, that I have been enjoying a lot lately with these excellent band conditions over the last couple of months. I built an antenna that gives me an SWR of 1.0 before tune and have been making long distance contacts on one watt only.
    I’m hoping that radio manufacturers start building all modes portable HF rigs of 100+ watts for POTA’s.
    Like thousands of other hams, I thought the new IC-905 was going to be a 100 watt version of the IC-705. Icom’s roll out of the IC-905 was just super bad timing for doing POTA’s has gotten so exciting and the amazing current rage among hams right now.
    Have fun at Disneyland, I use to reside right next to Disneyland when I owned a home in Anaheim and could watch the nightly fireworks show from my backyard jacuzzi a few decades ago.
    While you’re there, there is an HRO Store right on Euclid Street near the 5 Freeway that you can really spend some money if you have anything left after going to Disneyland. 😂🤣😂🤣

    Not sure if you have the top of your chicken coop covered with chicken wire. If not, your local Coopers Hawks will be paying your chickens a visit. Great video for the M5 Stack, I am going to try it.

    Hey Bob. Is the analog meter choppy when the needle moves or is it smooth? I’ve seen older versions of this that were choppy. Thanks and 73.

    • @K6UDA
      @K6UDA  Год назад

      So far it looks pretty smooth.

    • @RCVinyl

      @@K6UDA Thanks. I saw the guy from Zumspot at the Orlando Hamcation and he showed one using an M5 stack that had the same looking analog meter as what comes with the ICOM 7610. I don’t know where he is on that project but that looks pretty promising too.

  • @RobPetty622
    @RobPetty622 Год назад

    How does this work with the 7300 since the 7300 doesn't have blue tooth or wi Fi? Perhaps it just offers programs but doesn't interact in real time?

    • @K6UDA
      @K6UDA  Год назад

      I believe the 7300 does have BT. I think.

    Just outta curiosity are there any apps for the m5 stack that work with any xaigu radios?
    And then I see the comment by Digital Dreamer..... Le sigh.

      Kind of looks like there’s a lot of stuff going on with the M5 stack so it wouldn’t surprise me.
