FX-4CR POTA with EFHW

Post by N5FY »

I had an opportunity to borrow a radio I don't own and take it for a POTA activation. The radio needed the Main board replaced and firmware updated. I took the opportunity to make a magnetic cover as well. I was concerned CW would not be great but I had no issue with a N0SA key paired up. I also ran SSB with no issue. No digital though. I ran 10W with a 3S LiPo battery. I may end up with one of these in the near future. Not that I actually need another radio!

The FX-4CR is an excellent radio. I currently have the V3 of the radio.
