Frame build for Yaesu FTdx10
I recently purchased a Yaesu FTdx10 as an upgrade to my IC-7300 for portable use. I wanted to build a frame around it again as I did with my IC-7300, as I really like it. I’d like to share the first design with you. Since the FTdx10 has stamped feet on the enclosure itself and…
V Dipole 40m Expansion kit
STL FILES: downloads here Although the design of the V Dipole is not new at all, the past few months after building the V Dipole have proven to be a great success. Success in the sense of being very quick to set up, requiring a small footprint for guy wires, and still being able to…
Portable V Dipole
Update 27-04-2025: New body added, for 16mm tube mount. I saw 5.6m telescopic antennas on Aliexpress a while ago. I ordered a set with the idea of doing something fun with them later. I wanted to make a lightweight dipole to hang in the mast. Later I thought it would be much more fun to…
New portable setup for my IC-7300
Last summer I cycled a lot from park to park with my IC-705 and telescopic mast, with various experiments in terms of antennas. I have had a lot of fun with this, and will certainly expand this further for next summer season. The only thing I really missed is the simplicity of setting up something…

With some trickery I was able to temporarily solve this problem. When I got home I soon discovered that there was more going on. The center pin…
Battery Box upgrade
In the summer of 2023 I started using a LifePo4 battery. I had made this in a bag for the time being, with all electronics loose in the bag. Of course this will cause problems at some point. To solve this I was looking for a suitable box. The problem with my size battery was…
Tuner functionality added to Portable Setup
Portable Setup Upgrades April 2024 I’ve made some additions to my Portable Setup. Auto tuner added, with a wider tune range. BalUn added to work with ladderline. Tuning Aid added. Auto tuner I had owned an ATU-100 tuner for a while. But I had a lot of problems with that. Coils that quickly went into…
Utility Boxes for Baluns & UnUn’s
Lately I’ve been working a lot with Baluns and UnUn’s and Chokes. I always needed a new housing for that. These are ultimately quite pricey and sometimes difficult to obtain. That’s why I spent an evening drawing. And I have drawn a number of variants of Utility boxes. I print these boxes with PETG filament,…
