The beginning was priceless hahaha. I thought you've seen a snake or something at first 😅😅😅 The toroid is small indeed. I tried that too and a friend of mine tested it and was heating as well.

Awsome radio thanks for your work and for sharing the project ... and the walk over the woods is great 😀😀 I wish the nearby forest where I live would also have some of those Rare Species of (tru)SDX's ... I'm always on the lookout to see if I can find one but to no avail ... they are Rare and also very shy on the woods ... 😀😀
With such a short coax you need a counterpoise for the EFHW to get more efficiency from your antenna. So, either use a longer coax cable (a few meters) or ad a counterpoise of at least 0.05 lambda. In my experience and testing, having both a longer cable (than what you had connected to the (tr)uSDX) and counterpoise lowers the SWR additionally. Try those options the next time you are doing portable. Anyways, great video.
I know. I commented the same under K6ARK´s Video. I did it anyway wrong, as I wanted to know if it works. I have a good EFHW (Homebrew) here, waiting for the next Video. But I really wanted to try absolute minimum.... I appreciate your comment anyway, as everyone should learn that. Thank you. 73 Manuel; DL2MAN
I liked your joke. It made me laugh. One beer is a good start to your celebration, I hope you stopped on the way home and had another. Thank you for sharing. 73
Great video! Both videos were good--thanks for making the effort. Fantastic little radio. I can't get out with mine yet, so I like to see it in action. Cheers from Australia--the land where we can't afford radios!
Nice video and better results than yesterday, my little QRP IS XIEGU X5105 and QCX Mini and i do make all my own UNUN’s 49 /1 and 64 /1 are my favorite. 73 from South East Texas KV5P
Great outing Hans its great to see you out in the field putting all your good work into practice. I found the small core got a bit hot on the one I made as well. Regards vk5cz ..
the Hindberry name in English is Raspberry or wild Raspberry. Good operators will slow down for other stations, and full name words not commonly used are harder to understand, I prefer common CW abbreviations.
I love my (tr)u SDX. I received it a few weeks ago. A first I was skeptical the receive wasn’t very good but finally had one station responded back. I connected a small end fed antenna Saturday and to my surprise, signals reception improved. Every POTA station I attempted to make contact with replied back with RST’s of 43 to 54 SSB and one CW contact 559. I am a believer. Thank you for a grant little radio. 73 de Roger W8RLP
Wow little Orange box is beautiful. Is that poison ivy I see just to the left. Don't touch it. The forest fruit looks like Raspberry. Thanks for the outdoor adventure
Better showing this time than the first one, for sure. The new battery pack & radio bottom are really nice. I'll have to see if I can finagle one of those from my 3D printing friends ;-) Pretty neat QSO with Italy. (Piero Begali now has his own (tr)uSDX . . . Maybe you can catch him on the air some day.) Also your previous comments about being out in nature are right on. I'd be out there in the woods right now but I have to wait another two weeks until I can test negative for the plague. And then my doctor wants to bother me with more tests. Thanks for the excellent video. Stay safe & well, my friend. 73 de W8IJN
Manuel, I enjoyed listening to the CW conversations, although you only included a small part of them. I am making dozens of contacts all over our country with the tr(u)sdx here in Ohio (USA) using wire antennas and having great fun. I just ordered another one from Sunny. Great work!
Hi Braden, thanks. I enjoy that too, but unfortunately vast majority would be bored by a full CW QSO. I kind of get that, it´s like watching a movie in a foreign language..... Hope to meet you on Band for a CW QSO (tr)uSDX to (tr)uSDX ;) 73 Manuel; DL2MAN
Fantastic set-up you have there. For fine antenna support string it is also worth checking out 100lb braided fishing line (cheap as chips & you can get it in inconspicuous green). Be careful with the hot core, they quickly go non-linear & your harmonics can shoot way up (there is a youtube video quantifying this problem... unexpectedly into FCC spectral fail territory with little warning).
I´ve heard about that video, but the premise alone is false. It´s not a part of the Antenna, that heats up and creates harmonics ! If that happens, your transceiver had a harmonic suppression issue in the first place.
@@dl2man are you sure that is right. Your TX can be "as clean as a whistle" but if the non-linearities occur after the TX lpf you can still get harmonics and spurii radiated. The "rusty bolt effect" is a classic example of this. Things would be very easy to verify (even without a calibrated spectrum analyser).. simply tx a straight CW carrier which should be a pure sine wave and stick an oscilloscopes probe on the base of the antenna (ok with a voltage divider to get the voltage into the range of the scope).. if the saturation and non-linearity show any "flat topping" or other distortion away from the pure sine wave it shows that there are harmonics there an they are being radiated
The fruit looks like a raspberry… about your battery holder, it’s pretty interesting and practical. I’ll do mine for a 3 cell 14500 battery pack, but 4 cell also works, and the advantage of 14500 is that you can use normal AA batteries with 4 cell for something similar to feed the rig with 5v

I faced the same problems as Manuel in this video, I couldn't hang the antenna high enough and I had no counterweight, but I still managed to make some nice SSB QSOs.
The real respect goes to IN3EBZ. He´s the high speed guy... And when I replied to him, way slower than he sent his CQ, he immediately turned down speed for me. Ham Spirit at it´s finest. And just to mention: I initially got 2 out of 6 letters wrong from his callsign IN2EBD -> IN3EBZ. Got it right, when he slowed down. But thanks. I think, I am taking 25 wpm for granted nowadays.... That is fast, compared to where I´ve started ! Every decent HAM will lower his speed, when you reply slower. 73 Manuel; DL2MAN
