Hello hams or potential hams who want to build and play with QRP radios. The next time Rex Harper and others go to build-o-thon sessions at some conferences, can you start up a conversation on this

The Power Behind the Tuna Power ...
I know it is just easier to own a Jackery and I have owned similar units a few generations older, I decided to build a low cost POTA portable power box that would power all of my QRP & QRPp radios

Re: Two Tinned Tuna QRP Transmitter and the Sudden Storm Receiver
Hello David. Thanks! I am going to post info but I am no expert and could be wrong.? But I do hope to get constructive criticism. I wonder if WE in this group can come up with an course on some of

Re: Two Tinned Tuna QRP Transmitter and the Sudden Storm Receiver
Very nice and educational Daniel. I think it would be very cool to see the TT2 & Rockmite figures just for our own education and understanding. It's good to have the actual numbers in case impromptu

Re: Voltages vs. Woltages
Sorry Chuck, I keep intentionally interchanging Tuna Power with Tuna Helper and that is just a brain fart I will get over once I build both of them out. I have the Tuna Helper done so that is fresh

Re: Voltages vs. Woltages
Chuck, I would have saved a lot of money buying a Jackery in the first place, but have certainly learned a lot about Anderson Power Poles and now have something fun to play with, LOL.? I do my

Re: Voltages vs. Woltages
Dave, After reading the long dialog I¡¯m not sure what you are wanting to do? Yes the UC2906/3906 circuits are for charging/maintaining. I used one of the TPS/PTO circuit boards to maintain a lawn

Re: Voltages vs. Woltages

Re: Dummy QRPp
Rex, Well, if I wanted to over do it, I think this quantifies and qualifies. But I had a lot of fun nonetheless. Now off to build the next kit. Oh yes, the 12-volt DC soldering iron did great and I
