Ultimate Direwolf Installation Guide for Packet Radio - Windows and Linux ModernHam 2024-03-26 | This is a long one, but I wanted to break down everything so even those new to packet radio could understand what is going on. I think it's also important to understand the configuration so that we can adjust it if needed later on. This is the foundation for everything else we will do packet on this channel. The installation section covers the install on Linux and Windows. After that, we go into the direwolf.conf file and configure sound devices, as well at PTT. We enable the new FX25 for forward error correction. And then apply some tweaks and optimizations to get you started. Last, we go through troubleshooting various issues you may have. After this video, you will have a good working TNC that we will use later for APRS, BBS, and TCP/IP over AX25.For the write-up and the commands used, check out my blog post here:themodernham.com/ultimate-direwolf-tnc-installation-guide-for-windows-and-linuxDirewolf Download(For Windows Users):github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/releasesAPRS.fi (For checking if you were I-Gated):https://aprs.fi/Get your LAT/LON for the config:findlatitudeandlongitude.comOfficial Direwolf Documentation:github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/releases00:00 Intro01:00 About Interfaces03:30 Windows Installation12:50 Linux Installation28:50 Direwolf Configuration44:10 Testing PTT / VOX47:10 Sending Test Beacon54:20 Troubleshooting and Issues01:00:05 Outro01:02:00 Member Shoutout➡️Join this channel to get access to perks⬅️youtube.com/channel/UCOe0_RzGUDm73XNtRozPfMw/join★★★ IMPORTANT LINKS★★★✅Follow My Instagram- instagram.com/modernham✅Follow My Twitter- twitter.com/HamModern✅Blog and Merch - themodernham.comGear I use (Amazon Affiliate Link)🔥 amazon.com/shop/modernham⚡ Join the ModernHams Discord: ⚡discord.gg/EbP9dTMrTU📻 Radioddity Referal Link: 📻discord.gg/EbP9dTMrTU

Best of both Worlds? POTA with the CHA Lightweight End Fed Sloper ModernHam 2024-01-02 | Thanks to Chameleon Antennas for sending me this unit for review. I will always give honest feedback. I took this antenna out on the video for a POTA(Parks on the air) activation to give it a good field test for the video. This antenna is great for those of you who want to use high power on the go, but still want to keep your backpack weight low. It's also a great antenna for those who run without a tuner and need a resonant antenna. It may not be the first choice for the QRP operators out there though who never intend on going over 20 Watts.

OffGrid Communication Plan Tested - Feat. TheTechPrepper ModernHam 2023-06-18 | This communication exercise was A LOT of fun, and I learned a ton. It took us 12 hours, 3 attempts and 3 iterations through our place plan, but ultimately JS8 saved the day. It was roughly 1500 miles, using the RF-1944 military antenna. This was attempted from Land Between the Lakes, a part and campground here in Kentucky.Look out for the AAR later this week where we talked about the behind the scenes, and everything we learned. If anyone would like a copy of the communication plan, you can find it over at themodernham.com/downloadsShout out to Gaston, TheTechPrepper for motivating me to get out there and try this out. If you haven't tried to communicate off grid with a specific individual, now is the time to practice. You will run into issues you would have never though of.

Make your Own DigiRig Cables - Featuring FT-60 ModernHam 2023-05-30 | The thing I like about the Digirig is the ability to create your own audio interface cables, change radios, but still have all of your digital mode settings the same.

Protect your Radios! JXE JXO Faraday Bag Review ModernHam 2023-05-25 | A company called JXE JXO sent me these bags for review. They are advertised as Faraday bags.

On testing, my cellphone was blocked out completely, but the radio squelch still came on. I honestly like the bags quite a bit, and they are now part of my kit.
