A tiny board, which allows a smartphone or similiar device to connect to the Baofeng UV5R radio via a TRRS audio connector. It allows for connecting the radio to a software TNC app such as APRSDroid or PocketPacket. Solder on the components, solder on the cables, then provide some stress relief, (I use solid-core wire and heat shrink tubing), and you can use your UV5R with your smartphone for APRS on the cheap.

This document outlines the construction of a homebrew Buddipole antenna variant, designed for portable use and emergency services. The antenna utilizes telescoping whips and loading coils, enhancing its versatility across various HF bands. Key components include fiberglass rods, brass fittings, and Anderson Power Pole connectors, ensuring robust electrical connections. The design emphasizes non-inductive materials to minimize interference, while practical assembly techniques, such as epoxy and heat shrink tubing, are employed for durability. This variant aims to improve upon traditional Buddipole designs, offering greater strength and functionality.

This thoughtful review details ajourney from the stock Elecraft KXPD2 paddle to an innovative pressure-sensor alternative. The author candidly describes issues with their original paddle—intermittent operation and loosening screws—before discovering VK3IL's pressure-sensitive design through QST magazine. The construction process, using a PCB and components generously shared by the designer, proved straightforward despite challenging SMD soldering. What stands out is the clever DIY housing solution: a "sandwich" of closed-cell foam encased in heat-shrink tubing that fits comfortably in hand. The ergonomic design allows effective single-handed operation for portable SOTA activations. The successful implementation has rendered the original paddle obsolete, leaving only the task of covering the radio's paddle port.
