What brand/model is the battery in your little bag? I heard 501? But don’t know what that is.

@Rusted_Link 11 күн бұрын

The link in the description is for a bioenno 3 amp hour. In the bag is a 6 amp hour of the same brand. I've tested the 6 ah with the display lit constantly and sending APRS every 5 minutes and it lasted 52 hours.i also made contacts just as I would in other day.

My son needs a fuse that goes from his winch switch to his battery...Where can he purchase one?

@Rusted_Link 16 күн бұрын

That's a very good question. I've only ever seen them included with the purchase of a new winch. A Google search brought me to this page. evergreenoffroad.com/products/winch-fuse-kit-300a?variant=45292039700644&country=US&currency=USD&srsltid=AfmBOor-aoUIRGOe4TQWa7BL2olf0BJLGRBrZyFVUM9bOKg-Sad-Ab2oCsQ

I discovered a minor issue with the DB25-D. If you set RX tones the radio will randomly stop TX audio for about 30 seconds to a minute. Radioddity is aware (at least they are now) and are working towards a firmware update.

How long did you cut the aluminum bar?

@Rusted_Link Ай бұрын

Well, it's 4.8" across the bottom. 4.5" up to each mounting hole plus an .5". That equals roughly 15". I cut the aluminum 16", marked center then made my bends assuming I'd lose a little. I put the strap in the vice 1/16 on the outside of the marks on the first bend, that wasn't enough so I adjusted. In the end I feel that bending 3/16 on the outside of the marks would do it. I only built one so at this point I'm unsure. You let me know if that works.

Thanks for the video, my oring had a small nick in it so it wouldn’t seal after cleaning everything, I don’t have silicone so what I did was stretch the spring a little and the metal plate on the bottom of the valve was concave so I took it off and flattened it down and reinstalled everything and boom no more leak 🎉

48 hours on standby with the backlight set to turn off after 10 seconds. The radio draws 3 amps at 20 watts. With a 6 AH battery you should be able to rag chew for a solid 2 hours of TX.

That's what the Fara-J is basically. Look them up. The link is in the description. But yes, I have three kits. All of them have the "Survival Antenna" sold on Amazon by the Army Veteran. I have some nano-cord and a 10 foot length of rj 316 to help gain some height. The 316 chews up only 2-3 watts so the height benefit over the wattage loss is a win.
