Second One Ready To Go!

All parts printed and assembled to check for accuracy. Again, there's no license required for this one. Stay tuned!

If you are going to use a GPS with your unit you will need to enable the GPS mode and then set the rx and tx pins that you have soldered to on the circuit board of the radio. Here they're set to 48 and 47, respectively.

Ruined one of my Heltec V3's by soldering and resoldering the connections for the hot and ground wires trying to get it to fit into the radio frame.

Home brew 1/4 wave vertical 2 meter antenna. These are one of the easiest antennas to make yourself, and my very first home brewed antenna.

I crimped thr coupler over the main element and the contact of the SO-239 connector before using some heat shrink for a bit of added structural support. I'm not like all the other high class and fanciful hams, so I used my daughter's hair dryer on high heat to shrink the heat shrink. It worked like a charm!

Began a little project. No amateur radio license required for this one. Whatever could it be? Hint: 900mhz

The main element on my 1/4 wave, vertical antenna broke off, regardless of how secure I had made it with electrical tape and coax-seal, the solder just wasn't wanting to hold.
