Pecron sent me a Solar Generator Power Station for a video review. Overall, I like it! I took it out to the field to test it for RFI from the wide-band receiver on the Icom IC-705.

On tonight's livestream I plan to install a Raspberry Pi4 board into an sBitx V2 that I picked up at Hamvention last month. This radio can be purchased fully assembled, or without a Pi, or as a kit. I bought the version without the Pi because I need a few extra Pis at home and wanted to build it on a Livestream. Join me tonight!
