Morning! I'm moving to two videos per month on YouTube so that I can focus on product development. The YouTube overlords will not be pleased, so I am dropping 3 to 5 "Shorts" on YouTube per week. Here's the last two weeks of shorts. youtube.com/@TheTechPrepper/… #thetechprepper

What can we do to make comms easier, given that EmComm Tools has offline maps, an offline repeater search index and now CAT control? Watch and find out. buymeacoffee.com/thetechprep… Lighting was terrible, but I hope you get the point. #thetechprepper #hamradio #emcomm

Is the the Xiegu X6100 hot stuff or hot garage? Is it a tool, a toy or both? Yes, I am late to the party on this one. Stay tuned for Sunday's video. #thetechprepper #xiegu #xiegux6100 #comms #radioporn #hamradio #radio #prepper

Happy Sunday. I just ordered a Xiegu X6100 to see if I can run EmComm Tools natively on it. This should be a fun experiment. Here's my latest video where I run EmComm Tools in the field over HF for the first time. youtube.com/watch?v=tm_Vw6eL… #thetechprepper #emcommtools #hamradio

Early testing of a prototype cable from @thedigirig for the FT-2980R. The 2980 is a difficult radio to integrate digitally as you need to use the 3.5mm speaker cable on the rear and RJ11 mic jack on the front. 1/2

The current prototype cable is too short to connect the 3.5mm jack to the rear. I'll let @thedigirig know. Seth from ARMOLOQ sent me a 3.5mm relocation audio bracket that I never had a use for until today. This setup is less cheaper, smaller and cleaner than my SignaLink setup.
