Admittedly, I bought a prebuilt power box that holds a 40 Amp-Hour Bioenno and love it. Been running my POTA station from home and it works well. Looking to do some activations soon.
@hamradiotube Жыл бұрын
That's pretty hard to pass up I'd imagine. Hope you get out to do your own POTA activation. You could prob go week with 40AH lol!

I just saw it today and honestly I don't have the foggiest idea. I've never even seen that antenna much less used one. All I can say is try it and find out. I wouldn't imagine it would hurt anything. I'll expect a full report on your findings in the morning of course.
