I did find a perfect case including 32 Ah LiFePOs. It't a tight fit and nothing for longer walks. I thought about going out with two separate boxes or maybe a backpack with the same size. Walking with this heavy case is no fun and should be less than 1 km better less than 500 m.

Thanks for the useful video Drew. I hoped you were going to mention running costs, am I right in thinking that a linear power supply uses more power? I have both types and prefer the linear for its quietness. If you have a power supply with a fan and a rig with a fan, the audio noise in the shack rises.

would be nice to see measurements

Thanks for the clear concise video. It was helpful.

Great work.... Lots of work but Hey! It works ! Thanks 73

Much better than trying to read the manual de wb8idy usa tnx 73

Greetings from South Dakota! Terrific info and thank you for sharing.

Very useful, thanks. Be sure to turn the power down low before making the reading.

Dimensions used?

To use this device as a balancer on LiFEPO4, wouldn't multiple wires need to be connected to each battery? Since you only need 2 wires (since you're not using the balance feature), I'd rather use a simple DC_DC converter with current and voltage adjustment than spend that much money on it.

What coax would you recommend for jumpers inside the snack to hook up radios etc. for GMRS frequencies (462-467 MHz)? I am talking 5-8 feet at most. The rest of the antenna lead is 400Max (18 ft) but that is too stiff to do what I want.

As a longtime IC-7300 user my main gripe was the noisy fan. It drove me nuts until I ripped it out and replaced it with an extremely quiet NOCTUA fan. It's a common mod now. The clock backup battery is a joke. I replaced that with a pair of supercapacitors. I'm told sales of the IC-7300 have exceeded 100,000, so Icom must have done something right.

Would you know what the power/watt rating is the Delta C insulator.

Good Job! Thank You :)

Can’t someone do a video that shows the entire calibration procedure, not skipping the isolation and through steps?

2 October 2024. Just bought this last unit available Astron 35 on Amazon. I hate fan noise. Its about twice the price of a good switching power supply I was thinking about getting. Always get good stuff your planning on using for years.

SORRY I HAVE NOT, NOTICED, THAT IT WAS ALREADY ON KZbin, GRACIAS AMIGO XE2YWI 😊

HI DREW, XE2YWI JACOB HERE, I WONDER IF ON VOICE ON IC 7300, IFWE COULD RECORD QSO AND HOW TO DO IT, HAVE MY RIG FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS, AND STILL A LOT TO DIG ON IT, YOUR VIDEOS REALLY ENLIGHTEN ME. HOPE TO CATCH UP ON AIR SOON, BEST 73s

What if the battery is rated as 3.2v nominal? And peak voltage should be 3.65?

How do I change the content of the voice keyer stored?

Short & Sweet... Thanks! 👍🏻

So many challenges guys. But kudos to you that you figured it out. Looks like all turned out great '73 ~ KL5NU

Aaaannndddd....DONE. Thanks. Entered, edited and saved.

I just made this by completely eliminating the relay and the diode. Works fine, code doesn't even need to be changed . 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi Drew, a very unstructured presentation. You let the newby go through all the settings and at the end you say. Important tune the power to below 30 watt Thanks mate !!!!!!!!!

I'm having trouble with my off center dipole antenna so 'this information will come in handy to get me on the air again. Thanks guys for showing your process.

Can’t see what you are doing

I was under the impression that every time you change the frequency range you need to go through the whold open, short, load procedure. Is this not so?

how do you display the scale/div that's on the right side of the screen???

What is P 1 next to VFO A?

Ben, try knee pads. Easier and softer on the knees.

Thanks! you made that easy to understand. This was just what I was looking for.

That's all you need you picked a good choice in radios you won't need another radio again😊

Hello Drew my best friend😊

Hi Bro. Nice and useful video. I am getting my 7300 shortly. Is there new update in software for the current radio ? Will ask you more questions as we go along and arrival of my radio . 73 bye for now 👍

Thanks...that was very easy to do!

Very useful to have this in small bites thank-you.

Well done. Clear .easy to follow,Thank you.

I want that shirt !!!!! Great vid, thx. I might just do this.

Very helpful!! Thank you! I just got a NanoVNA and am looking forward to using it as I have a 40m antenna that seems to be having issues. Going to watch your setup and calibration video now.

Very good concept. Nicely done

I know you're doing a tutorial on the 7300. I have a question. Have you ever done a pictorial on the 718? How to install channel and memory?

Cool video 😊

Great video thank you. Is there a link for the travel case you used?

You could have made that cut in the pipe in about 5 minutes with a table saw and a metal cutting blade.

When you asked Hannah what she thought when she saw the broom, I thought she would say either, “chores” or “quiditch.” lol You have a lovely young girl who I am sure is inspired by all that you do. I hope to be blessed with a little me someday to teach about the world and watch grow. I loved the music. Question for you- is there a reason why someone would prefer to make a quarter wavelength antenna vs half, or full. I’m really trying to understand this question and answer and hope you may clarify.

This video was a great help, thanks. Do you happen to know it the up/down mic buttons can be disabled?

I love to be spoon fed thanks

KK7SWB new ham just got my 7300 a few days ago and love this channel! going slowly and setting up a little at a time. TY!

these videos are great for a new ham!
