DIY Solar panels..

Making 4 x Solar Cell - 1.12IMax/0.5V

To keep them in place while soldering..

So, about right regarding spec.

Done laminating.. 

Me want...

Rather later than soon...  

User manual here.. 

Antenna is up - W3DZZ +5

Also made me a 8 x 8 inch choke for the W3DZZ antenna.

This years Christmas present - I'll pick it up in December..

TS-830s Line.
This is going to be nice -
Looking forward to it!

Monitor also..

What did the 1st floor hide.......

Yes,
It's working great also!

Frequency counter needed.

I believe it's going to be a ChinaCounter... should do the work.

Already invested... 

Works great!

DV4Mini USB..

So, I'm up and running with DV4Mini anc DV4Mini Control Center v1.61

I'm running it on a Raspberry Pi 2.
Working OK, but it seems like the Pre-build image for this is not surviving a Network outage.
If the WLAN is rebooted, the Pi 2 is available after the boot but DMR+ is not working anymore.

A few tips to configure Pi 2...

This is a automated script to configure x11vnc with access to Console :0 of the Pi:

wget http://goo.gl/MbfUEp -O isx11.sh

sudo bash isx11.sh

To change the resolution from VGA:

Configure resolution in /boot/config.txt

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

hdmi_group=2

hdmi_mode=16

This will set 1080p

Also, if you want to make sure to startup in correct mode after reboot, the DV4Mini config file is here:

DV4Mini config file on Raspberry:

/root/.config/dv4mini/dv4mini/1.0.0.0

My DMR radios are TYT DM-380 and a Hytera PD-365.

Both radios works perfect with DV4Mini USB.
