Doing the preflight on our Geo Pro 19FBS to take to Lake Okoboji, Iowa. Just making sure everything is OK with the camper, some general maintenance and small upgrades.

The title says it all. This is to video document the issue for my brother, for use in legal proceedings. I have made it public to warn off any unsuspecting people looking to hire this joker.

After Leach Camper Sales botched the panel in the back of the closet, I had to have it fixed correctly. No one wants a brand new $23,000 camper that looks like it's been worked on by a bunch of grade schoolers. We removed the back panel, and opened up the space. The closet is now 5 inches deeper. We also added an opening to the breaker for the inverter, so it can be reset if it trips. Something |
If you have a FlexRadio Maestro, 6400M or 6600M you may have notice the issue getting the on screen keyboard to load correctly when in the menu section. This is a simple work around to get it load most the time. They should be adding it to their docs based on my recommendation, but incase it's not there yet, this is how you do it.

For my last comparison, I switch between the FlexRadio and a FT-891. Just showing that you can get by with a much cheaper radio. Don't get me wrong, I love the Flex now that i'm used to it. If you're on a budget, you don't really need to have an expensive radio to get the job done. Get good antennas, a noise canceler, and just enjoy being on the air. If you're in an urban area you're not really |
The answer may surprise you. There are some good options out there that will help you cut through the noise and they don't require a $5000 radio. Someone on the Flex forum was bashing the Flex Noise Blanker, and said their 7300 was better, so I put that to the test. Also I talk more about the MFJ 1026 noise canceler. I completely believe that if you have that, you are going to pretty much do as |
Ok, I'm really starting to like the radio. Getting to see its potential. Getting everything installed and working. WSJT-X, JS8 Call, Rumlog-NG, fldigi, winlink, PC-ALE, SmartSDR. I really am thinking even with the little weird things, I'm liking this radio a lot.

4 days into this, I feel burned out, I have not gotten much sleep. I'm starting to feel the joy of having this new radio slipping away. I just want things to work. It was starting to feel like a lot of crap..... HOWEVER toward the end of day 4 things are starting to look up... At this point I'm still on the fence regarding if this is radio is worth it or not, but DogParkSDR is most surely not.

Is it unreasonable to have certain expectations when you spend thousands of dollars on something? Well you get the direction this is going haha. There is so much I love about the Flex, yet so many issues I just can't believe it. Still plugging along though and still on the fence about if the good out weighs the bad. Is it a keeper? I'm not sure yet, perhaps it is. Would I recommend it? At this |
I finally purchased a FlexRadio, In an effort to combat the noise levels at my QTH. It's one of the many upgrades I'm making to my shack. FlexRadio has a 30 day return policy, so if in the end I really don't like it, I will send it back. It's off to a bumpy start. Attempting to get everything working on a 2010 iMac with 16gb of ram
Looking forward to really getting back on the air.

The afternoon of Friday, April 17, 2020, Bruce Maxson Banwell passed away at the age of 82.
He and his contagious smile will be dearly missed by every life he touched. He lived a very full life, with the biggest, closest family you could possibly ask for. This slideshow captures just a few of the many memories he made with only a few of the many, many people he loved.

Our grandpa, Bruce Banwell, passed away on April 17th, 2020. Since we can't all be together right now, some of our good friends arranged a drive-by parade and went by our house and gave us some love and encouragement.

So I've been working on getting my ham shack up and running again. I've put up a new doublet antenna in place of the inverted V I previously had. I've been using the MFJ 993B tuner, and I've been able to hear signal and tune all the bands, from 6 meters all the way to 160 meters. I talk about this in a little more depth and also give some more updates on my ham radio shack. :-)

This is just a video discussing the ways that COVID-19 has affected me and my family personally. I talk about some of the other lonely times in my life that this quarantine has recalled to mind, and thus reminding me that, this too shall pass. ;-)
