Ham Radio 2.0

Today I install a fresh, new version of HamVOIP onto a microSD card for my SHARI Allstar Node. I was using this node on my trip to Dayton Hamvention this year, and it died on me. Turns out, it was a bad microSD card, so today I replaced the card, reimage it and install HamVOIP from scratch.

Two years ago I recorded a video about building my original version of the Buddihex Antenna from Buddipole. In 2023 at ARRL Field Day, I built the newest version that I have from Buddipole, which includes several upgrades and updates to the entire system. Let's take a look!

This is an RFI noisy battery charger, but it worked great up until it didn't. I found a short in the power cable port on the unit itself, so let's see if I can fix it!
