Off-Grid Ham Radio

Retevis Ailunce HD2 GPS IARU Region frequency expansion, MARS MOD, wide and mod on the radio. No programming software required. The Retevis Ailunce HD2 DMR radio is amazing! A few weeks before this post was published, Retevis reached out to ask if I would test an update to the Retevis Ailunce HD2. I've been using the Retevis Ailunce HD1 since late 2023. Both are capable radios! The HD2 takes DMR to another level with IP67 ingress protection, Bluetooth audio, AES128 & AES256 encryption and much more.

The Portable Ham Radio antenna is the keystone of a successful portable ham radio field day or excursion. The lightest and most efficient ham radio antennas available to the portable radio operator, are the dipole, off center fed dipole, and end fed half wave antennas. Tim N9SAB has sent over a care package containing some very interesting ultra-lightweight and ultra-efficient antennas for portable and fixed station use. The package should include signal and multiband dipole antennas, end-fed half wave antennas, and man-portable backpacking antennas, all being lightweight, and extremely efficient. Any of these antennas would be at home on a SOTA summit, on a POTA activation, or a ham radio backpacking trip with one of the ultra-portable QRP radios available today. Let's do an unboxing together, and see just what Tim sent over. 73 Julian #oh8stn #hamradio #antenna Share video URL: https://youtu.be/SlVT7fc0EMo Ordering a N9SAB antenna?
