  • Hi Robin. Great video! I used to have an FT817, and it was fun for what it did. Arthurs Seat... I remember hearing an American say "Gee - is that where that guy pulled the sword out of the stone?" HI. 73 - Rob VK2GOM / G0MOH

  • Hi Rob, sorry for the late reply.

    It reminds me of my old history teacher who worked in Edinburgh Castle as a tour guide and once someone walked up to him and asked "what time does the 1 o'clock gun go off?".

    My favorite one is "Gee they built the castle next to a railway station!"

    I suppose i would be the same as a tourist lol! All the best!

  • What do you use for power when your out and about with that rig? Is it the internal batteries? If so, how long do they last?

  • Hi, i tan a small motorcycle battery that came out of my scooter about 7amh power source at around 12V

    I used the battery because the internal ones don't last very long for me. About 30mins for a half hour

  • COOL!

  • Cheers Simon ;-)

see all
