Another thing to consider with the blue cases from eBay etc., the panels ARE steel, but the major problem is they are mounted in a plastic frame. There is no continuity between the front and back

Raj, In what way is the FY6800 a bit flakey to operate? I'm very curious, as am on the verge of buying one. Lots of the FY6800 reviews mention it is better than the previous product (I assume the

@Jack, where did you find the tuning dial?

OK, so I finally had time to open it up and have a look. Sorry for the delay. It turns out that the hissy, click audio was from the wires going from the AGC board to the volume pot. I have them

Great case got mine from Banggood for less than £20... going to fit my 7inch screen in a sloping mount on top of the lid.. -- Keith Baker - Communications technician (retired)

Jack, I am Dave G0AYD I have 3 of these boxes one houses my V3 and matching matching case housing my home brew T match atu.I am currently building a digital swr/pwr meter so hope to house this

Use a lm385 or whatever the part number is. Voltage op amp. I use the same AGC and could not use it for A7. Go to KD8CEC site to get the info on build. http://www.hamskey.com/?m=1 I’m blown away

I have been looking at Drok's sight this morning.. love reading the reviews 😶 found this Drok buck boost that looks like I can set to 12.x volts out and either plug in a 13.5v PS in the shack or a

Also worth mentioning, I charge and keep battery packs in an outbuilding away from anything flammable in a fire safe bag like this

I have one of those cases, the panels are all steel. Really the whole case comes across as kind of "cheezy". The cases I am considering for my uBITX are a Cheval SA from Thailand or

I also have a pack like the one KN6KB linked to, and it works great and is easier to use, but isn't really the best for building into a radio because of the power switch and unnecessary bulk, and you

You can use any CC/CV charger set to the appropriate voltage and current settings. I use a lot of the cheap dc-dc buck
