Some friends of mine had the worst possible nightmare.

I was able to buy a switch lite for a ridiculous low price.

This is a neat little PC I came across.

I’ve never ventured much into TV repair, but a friend of mine who works at a tire shop uses this TV at lunch break, to play some games with colleagues.

I’ve had an Ikea Trådfri LED1836G9 fail, and I wondered what would be wrong with it.

I recently acquired an Anbernic RG35XX-H to play some retro games for some old systems I own.

While working on my Lenovo 15ARH05 - the screen suddenly went blank, and the laptop wouldn’t boot anymore.

A colleague of mine asked me to take a look at his Makita work site radio.

Something different to repair this time.

Recently, Wim, ON4CGB, went to Friedrichshafen and picked up a nice-looking Kenwood TS-950SDX.

One of our club members recently requested me to take a look at a Kenwood TM-241 he bought a couple of years ago, but never used it.

I recently bought a Yaesu FTM-100D (I’ve been wanting to buy a decent mobile set for some time, altough I primarily work via DMR Hotspot) and have been quite impressed by it’s feature set and work-flow.

…Or not?

Hi All, Just a little something I’ve run in to when setting up my new FTdx3000.

Recently I was asked to take a look at a IC-910h VHF/UHF all-mode transceiver which had developed an issue where the bias kept being enabled.

I recently had a look under the hood of an FT-2000; and just as I’m done repairing two FT-897; I notice that the FT-2000 should be a suspect as well!

Upon opening the transceivers, I quickly saw what looked like water damage on the IF crystal filters:

I’ve always wondered why my FT-450 I bought second hand had a lower RX level on the higher bands, starting around the 20m band.

So I’ve been messing around with SMD component level repair and building for some time, but for more complex boards with things other than discrete components – a regular hot air station just doesn’t cut it.

So I acquired a SEA 1612C remote ATU for cheap, but without an enclosure.

I was recently gifted a SDRPlay RSP1 (thanks again ON3HVP!)

Lately I’ve been having issues where my CAT commands from Omnirig would time-out or vice-versa.
