A Simple to Use And Extremely Powerful VPN Connects everything, Even a Remote Flex Radio HB9BLA Wireless 2023-02-25 | Like many others, I live in a crowded place with more neighbors than space around the house. While this is a good thing for quality life, it is less than satisfactory for a HAM Radio operator.There are mainly two solutions to this dilemma: A divorce with a move to a remote location or a remote station. Because I love my wife, a remote station is a proper solution.Today we will cover one of the most critical topics of such a project: Connect the Flex Radio at the remote station to our shack PC at home. Fortunately, we can use the same technology to connect securely to your home network from everywhere without the hassle of OpenVPN or Wireguard. Secure, simple, and free of charge! So this knowledge is valid for most of us.Links:How to do it: drive.google.com/file/d/1qLLryuzDPjr2yUY70aW7wHg4SW4Vc2ha/view?usp=sharingRUTX11 (should be enough for this application): amzn.to/3EFJ3Fd4G RUTX14:: teltonika-networks.com/products/routers/rutx14?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=teltonika-networks-rutx14-layer-2-bridge-over-zerotier&utm_content=video Antennas: https://www.fts-hennig.at/antennen/5g/aussenantenne/wittenberg-antenne-lat60.html5G RUTX50: teltonika-networks.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=teltonika-networks-rutx14-layer-2-bridge-over-zerotier&utm_content=video The links above usually are affiliate links that support the channel (no additional cost for you).

023 Overview for the Modern, Digital HAM Radio Operator (Hamnet, AREDN, Lora, etc.) HB9BLA Wireless 2022-10-01 | Modern HAM radio is digital. In this video, I will show you the architecture of a modern network consisting of state-of-the-art technology used by HAM radio operators. It should act as a teaser and an overview of our possibilities. All network parts are wireless, independent of the internet, and primarily TCP/IP based. A goal should be to make them also independent of the power grid. The backbone is extremely high-speed compared with older technologies like packet radio. It can include satellite communication as well as smaller devices like DMR radios and even LoRa boards.Parts of this network can be used stand-alone for your projects. And most of the technologies shown are available and used right now. Just not integrated into one network. This is what we try to build here in Switzerland.Links:Hamnet Map: hamnetdb.net/map.cgiAREDN: arednmesh.orgPi-Star hotspot: pistar.ukDuplex MMDVM Hat: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DnmL3hd or amzn.to/3BWGBYMThe links above usually are affiliate links that support the channel (no additional cost for you).

017 QO-100 2 4GHz Directional Antenna build and Test POTY (Part 4) HB9BLA Wireless 2022-03-16 | Cross-posted video from my main channel (Because it is HAM related)In this series, I want to reach a geostationary satellite and talk to another Swiss guy in Antarctica. If not done so, I strongly suggest you watch the series from the start, as you do it on Netflix.In the last videos, we built a prototype for the transmitter and learned how we could create a receiver out of standard and quite cheap parts. And we heard stations from the QO-100 satelliteIn today’s video, I try to finish the prototype of the Transmitting part by building a 2.4GHz directional antenna, mounting it to the dish, connecting it to the power amplifier, and trying to receive our signal through the receiver in Cornwall.

010 How to receive and track LoRa Satellites (TinyGS). Incl. innovative ideas for your projects HB9BLA Wireless 2022-02-16 | Satellites are fascinating but costly and therefore only available to governments, the military, and, recently, also billionaires like Elon Musk (SpaceX) or Jeff Bezos (Amazon). Undiscovered for most, there is another trend: Universities and small companies can build and launch satellites. Because most of these satellites use open transmission standards, everybody can listen to them. Today we will look at a hobby project which enables us to do so. In addition, the project uses some innovative concepts, where we can learn a lot for other projects.

008 SDR Tutorial: How does Software Defined Radio SDR work under the Hood HB9BLA Wireless 2022-02-09 | The whole world goes wireless. And digital. One technology is right in the center of these two megatrends: Software Defined Radio or short: SDR. Do you know how it works? And how can you take advantage of it? If you do not want to take the time to watch Michael Ossmann's (Great Scott Gadgets) series, then this SDR tutorial is for youSoftware-defined radio is a relatively new technology and was extremely expensive in the past. Then came this small USB dongle for 10$ and changed all. And other, more capable devices like the HackRF One for 300$ pushed this technology into the mainstream. Today, most modern radios used for example in Smartphones, in Amateur radio equipment, or Satellites are SDR radios.

002 How to build performing antennas for LoRa, WiFi, 433MHz, Airplanes etc NanoVNA, MMANA GAL HB9BLA Wireless 2022-01-26 | I am often asked: Where do I get a good antenna? Or: Is this a good antenna? Unfortunately, you do not see if an antenna is good or bad before you do some measurements. Or you build one yourself. That is what we will do today. Be it for satellite reception, for LoRa, weather balloons, or even for Wi-Fi. Like that, we know what we have. And even can save some money.Links:2.8" NanoVNA: tindie.com/products/hcxqsgroup/nanovna-v2-plus2.8" SMA NanoVNA V2: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A6Pm3F or https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9zdUZ94" Type N NanoVNA V2: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AaJcaRSMA connectors male: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A6CM7RSMA connector female: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9xPlRxSemi-rigid cable: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AOzVM9Simulation Software: hamsoft.ca/pages/mmana-gal.phpGround-Plane Calculator: m0ukd.com/calculators/quarter-wave-ground-plane-antenna-calculatorJ-Pole Calculator: m0ukd.com/calculators/slim-jim-and-j-pole-calculatorARRL Antenna Handbook: amzn.to/2NhP4QLRothammel: amzn.to/3bQHRkIThe links above usually are affiliate links that support the channel (no additional cost for you).
