Does anyone know where I could find a switching power supply which will *not* interfere with my HT? The best Ive found is one that "only" kills the PL...
By their very nature, switch-mode power supplies cause interference! They work by means of a rectangular waveform oscillator. They are very rich in harmonics....
Looks like the other replys didn't look very closely at your requirements.. Sounds like you have a 24 volt DC system on your bike eh? That seems kind of...
My current battery is a 6S1P LiPO pack which provides a voltage range of 18-25.2V. The reason why I chose a 24v nominal voltage system is because a 12v...
Hi again Steven, Sounds like you are going to be at the BMHA forum? Great! I hope to see you there! I was there last year, carpooled with Mike, NF0N and ...
Stephen, It's hard to diagnose another person's problem from afar. But it sounds like your primary wire, and/or your ground wire to/and from the battery may...
I and my Greenspeed should be at Dayton again this year assuming that I can get a car rack in time. The hitch showed up today and Ill install it this weekend....
Thanks for the suggestions! In this case I dont *think* that wiresize was the case but thats always a possibility. The reason why I say that is because I...
Good Afternoon Folks: I am working on getting my 21 speed ready for spring. I would like to HF portable, not mobile. I have an IC 706MK2G, which pulls 1.8...
From what I understand the IC 706 series of radios are *very* inefficient QRP rigs. That is .. while you *can* dial the power output down .. the current draw...
Hi Eliot, I looked you up on QRZ, and you have enough hits that you've probably already tried everything I can think of to offer. But here goes. I wonder if...
Thanks for the initial replies. I probably should have been more specific in my post. I am limited (at least at the moment) to the 706MK2G. What I would like...
A friend of mine uses a motorcycle battery to power a 5 W / 25 W mobile 2m radio on his bike. He reports good battery life, but I don't have any actual...
I cant speak directly to what you are doing but here is what Ive observed with my setup: I have a headlight attached to a pulse width regulator (PWR). The ...
... My 2c is far too small. You will be discharging this at double the recommended rate and consequently shorten its life. OTOH, if you are only going to use...

Eliot, I would suggest you explore Small Wonder Labs for an affordable QRP rig. With a fistful of D cells and a good antenna you can work the world. 72 de...
All of the responses are appreciated. My first cut at this had me stop at the local BatteriesPlus. I bought a 12 V 10.5 amp hour rechargeable sealed battery....
CQ I frequent a bicycling tour newsgroup and saw a recommendation for bike tourists to get CB radios. I recommended that for just a little more work, a ham...
I know with hamvention coming soon I would like some advice on a radio for my EZ3 recumbenrt bike. If nothing else right now. just to listen to short wave...
Hello, I have only experience with bicycle mobile in Germany. 2 m is great. Lots of repeaters and friendly hams. Their band is shorter than ours (144 - 146...
... Wow, me too, I bought an EZ3 SX last month and have almost 500 miles on it so far. Looking for suggestions for antennas and plan to add my aprs tiny Trak3 ...
Be sure to attend the BMHA forum at Dayton, Sunday, Room 2 at 8:30 am. We will have several displays of outfitted radio bike and trike. One of each both with...
Hey guys, I don't have an EZ3 but I do have a WizWheelz recumbent trike and I have been doing HF tricycle MOBILE for a couple of years in the dry season. I can...
Just a reminder of the BMHA forum at the Dayton Hamvention. See the full details on the BMHA website, www.lafetra.com/bmha I am bringing many of the past...

Hi, name is Greg KB2QQM, from Racine, WI. I have a Tour Easy recumbent from www.easyracers.com and want to put some sort of 2M handheld and antenna on the...
