Putting first kit build to use

Been a couple days since I finished the first kit, in the this post I will show how I am using the 6 position dc power distribution kit I finished last week. First I replaced the end of the power cable from my Yaesu FT-575 25Amp power supply with some power pole connectors:

In this second picture you can see how I connected my Yaesu FT-817ND radio thru the 6 position dc power distribution board to the Yaesu FT-575 power supply:

Now time to get working on building kit two.

What's the 3.5mm plug for?

@mytechtrail | July 31, 2021, 1:27 a.m. | Votes: 3 | [ VOTE ]

There is a speaker inside the front of the power supply.

I see! Makes sense 😊 Will you be utilising the speaker in this build for anything. What is it that you're making...? 🤔

@mytechtrail | July 31, 2021, 6:27 a.m. | Votes: 3 | [ VOTE ]

I will not be using the speaker as I use headphones for listening. The next kit build is a power/SWR display with a dummy load.

Freaking awesome. Love it! Keep it coming. Monday my youngest and I start working on figuring out antenna placement and cable runs.

What kind of antenna do you have, if you look back:

These show the UNUN and EFHW antenna I built and installed myself.

Hey, can I ask if you used any front end to edit your account JSON metadata or you broadcasted it manually?

@mytechtrail | Aug. 2, 2021, 10:21 p.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

I used a online page tool. It is not a front end, I will have to dig around an see if I can remember which one.

@forykw | Aug. 3, 2021, 12:25 a.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

HUmmm, I know a few, just wanted to understand if it have been a "formatted" UI where you put data entries on the fields already for a specific purpose (with behind the scenes correct entries for the JSON) or something you manually wrote (JSON) and broadcasted. The reason is because I found it quite nice under something like what @ausbit.dev does at https://hive.ausbit.dev/, but I am looking to understand if more people are agreeing with those or that's just "custom".

@mytechtrail | Aug. 3, 2021, 2:40 a.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

It was some kind of UI, I am not good enough to craft JSON and transmit it to blockchain. Maybe someday. 🙂
