Baofeng Charger Mod

Posted on August 24, 2019 by revmook

I really want all my radio junk to run off a single power supply and interconnect with Anderson Power Poles, so I modified a Baofeng charger base to do just that!

A few different bases, Pofung y Baofeng. Both came with a UV5R of some kind.

Insides somewhat different, same circuit though. (see below)

Used a bunch of diodes to bring the voltage down.

Fitted with cable and Anderson Power Poles

Oh, this is the IC managing the charger. HXN-WS 1116

Landers Land!

Los Angeles Emergency Simplex Net

Posted on April 25, 2019 by revmook

70cm Simplex net, operating bicycle mobile from Elysian Park, Los Angeles. Made a quick QSO with KK6WLD before the net in San Diego with 1/2 watt into a roll-up j pole antenna. Impressive. Stations heard from this point.

WB6NCT
W0SAN
KJ6CBE
K8NBD
KK6WLD
W6WXL
WB6NCT
W6NTT
K6FCC
KI6IOV

After the net, there was another on 2M SSB. Stations were myself KM6NAO and KK6WLD. Propagation was very good. APRS packets from my HT were making their way to a Laguna Beach iGate.
