CW POTA with the MTR 3B at US-5221
Today we're back at US-5221 Oakley Corners State forest for another CW Parks On The Air activation. I figured I'd use my MTR-3B since it's been a while since I took it out. I used my little backpack kit that I carry with me. Everything you need to do an activation is included in the kit. 40m was pretty good today, and the activation went smoothly. Thanks hunters, and thanks everyone for watching! 73

LOL now that you mention it......😂
Great call on the in-line volume adjustment for the mountain topper I hadn’t thought about that. Slick portable build out absolutely love that kit!

Thanks! Yeah, it works great. That's one gripe I have about the MTR series of radios, and that $5 dongle fixes it. Thanks for watching!
Oh man. , I can’t wait until the new MTR-3B is released . Great lightweight kit !

@@EvanK2EJT absolutely no worries , I have a collection of radios to keep me busy .
I've got an MTR-4b and every time I get back home I'm like "Man, I just love that radio". I had trouble with the keyer. You and someone else suggested the BaMaTech TP-III and I tried that, but it didn't help (it's awesomely awesome and gets regular use with other rigs),. Then I tried a single lever paddle and that solved it. I bought a CW Morse off of QRZ. I always thought they looked like toys but boy was I wrong. I love that paddle, and with the MTR it's heavenly. My whole kit is just so compact and enjoyable to use. Why don't you have more subscribers?

Thanks for watching! Yeah, the 4B is a better radio overall than the 3B is with the exception of size. I have a single lever CW Morse key also, and I agree that it's a really nice key to send on. As for subscribers.......well......I don't think there are that many people who really want to watch me sit in the woods and make beeps come out of a speaker for an hour 😂
Man...I love your setup! The chair, table and especially the case. Now you got me thinking (or copying)! 73 de KQ4LEA (who grew up in Oswego, now in AL)!

@@KN7U The table is a Big Agnes Woodchuck table. They're not cheap, but they're worth every penny. The chair is from Klymit. There are LOTS of similar camp chairs on the market, and any of them will do. Thanks for watching!

@@EvanK2EJT Thanks! Finally spotted the logo, I'm leaning Soul Kitchen for the height ... some of us can''t bend over to operate at that height and still get back up :)
Nice job as usual Evan. Quick question...what are you using for the throw bag? TU ES 73

It's a little rip stop nylon stuff sack with a velcro closure at the top, and a loop of paracord sewn in. I fill it with rocks. Makes for a very light setup. I'm going to make some out of 1000D Cordura I think so they're even tougher
