    Vídeo: I Almost Set Myself Up To Fail – Canal KM4ACK

    Continuing my 30 day solar challenge, this time with higher stakes. In the original challenge I kept a single phone charged for 30 days using nothing but a small battery bank and a 100W solar panel, and it turned out to be pretty easy. This time I'm raising the difficulty by keeping three devices charged on solar power for 30 straight days: my phone, my wife's phone, and a handheld ham radio (HT).
    To pull this off I upgraded to the Oupes Exodus 350 portable power station, a 350W, 288Wh solar gen

    Installing the new Kenwood TM-D750 into my truck was not the plug and play experience I expected, and in this video I walk through exactly what it took to get this dual-band mobile APRS radio running clean. The TM-D750 uses a two-part design with a separate control head and main transceiver body, and that split architecture creates real wiring, routing, and mounting challenges that most installation guides never mention.
    This is not a spec sheet review. I already know the numbers on paper. What

    Vídeo: Building the Ultimate Truck Power System, Part 1 The Battery – Canal KM4ACK

    I’m adding a massive off grid power system to my truck bed, and it all starts with the battery. In this first video of the series, I'm breaking down the LiTime 12V 460Ah LiFePO4 battery I chose to anchor this entire build, why I picked it over other options, and exactly what I plan to power with it.
    This battery packs 5888Wh of usable energy behind a 250A BMS, built on EV grade LiFePO4 cells rated for up to 4000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge. That's a serious amount of stored power sitting

    At the Huntsville Hamfest 2026, I sat down with the folks at TN07 to talk about their Triple-Fit Equipment Clamp, a simple but clever mounting solution that fits three of the most common mast diameters used in ham radio and off-grid setups: 1 inch, 1.5 inch, and 2 inch.
    I've been running this clamp on my mast to support my Elecrow M6 Meshcore repeater, and it's held up great in the field. No tools required to install it, and you can adjust it quickly on site if you need to reposition your gear.
