Unfortunately the RTLSDR part of the #hackergadgets board for my #clockworkpi #uconsole was faulty.
A quick email to Vileer and a replacement arrived in a few weeks. I’ve just fitted it today and it works. 🙌 https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0eb753c91802ff10e9d5b2af53bee00419900e1f7db87763a2bd1317f9f0572d/52391eb6491aa1d813658aa404f6a19b35eda6e6aa09b5ba8d0a2db4c6da1cb0.webp
I should have sent this post out earlier but if nothing else there is a cool timelapse video at the end of it of some #3dprinting

In #3d printing world I’ve been experimenting with some clear PETG. Might print some of my Turret and K6ARK cases with it.
Oh, maybe even a TP-III #cw paddle case case…
My #clockworkpi #uconsole arrived this week (just after my #hackergadgets SDR extension board).
I fitted a #raspberrypi CM5 in it and compiled PiHPSDR to connect to my Pluto+ which I use for #qo100.
Just arrived! The @n6ara TinyMIDI https://n6ara.com/product/n6ara-tinymidi/ will be using this for impromptu #cw practice (and eventually QSOs on my #flexradio. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0eb753c91802ff10e9d5b2af53bee00419900e1f7db87763a2bd1317f9f0572d/08bf97c9f0119c6470c6e308301dc783c4c7ad7459d8ea7cca584ee0d3580629.webp

Based on the hard work of Adam, K6ARK I designed a PCB which does all the work of the connections and designed a case for it.
I think it looks like a Turret from the game Portal, hence its name.

For the last few months I’ve been offering the K6ARK super-compact microphone as a kit over in my shop: https://shop.g7ufo.radio/products/kit-k6ark-mini-microphone-for-qmx-trusdx-usdx-fx-4cr-zbitx-kx2-and-kx3
My plan was also to provide assembled versions as well but I found the soldering too fiddly for any sort of speedy assembly. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0eb753c91802ff10e9d5b2af53bee00419900e1f7db87763a2bd1317f9f0572d/059459e31cf6c3c565b9b09fc1aca69729cffefa22a01c74e1a597b9b41f6d55.webp
After 32 years as a ham I finally completed my first #pota activation!
Thanks for everyone who hunted me at Kielder Water (GB-1285).
Gear was my trusty #elecraft #kx2 with wire antenna suspended on a SOTABeams tactical mast. Ran off battery and happily chucked out 10w. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0eb753c91802ff10e9d5b2af53bee00419900e1f7db87763a2bd1317f9f0572d/8c80d423d1a9bf38db4d37b9e8d0b1eeca56f8189c7c375c462f027f7d766ffc.webp https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0eb753c91802ff10e9d5b2af53bee00419900e1f7db87763a2bd1317f9f0572d/c8f18de3763aa1e70d44ea57fadd82bf20994e1545b21a4ceb3ce59edbfbce1a.webp https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0eb753c91802ff10e9d5b2af53bee00419900e1f7db87763a2bd1317f9f0572d/a7c7b42487788da3b66f5772c09362cac52c1162aa5e26b233761ec50f0f95d9.webp https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0eb753c91802ff10e9d5b2af53bee00419900e1f7db87763a2bd1317f9f0572d/5eed8cf1de3cf91e76b372eac849860c7bf31ca9e450ed77feb3e371ed99d51e.webp
Have been working hard on #3dprint designs for the new CTR2-Dial controller for #smartsdr #flexradio #thetis.
Delighted to be producing the full unit for the UK and EU markets. Check out my blog post for an overview.
