In my region, VU2TAH is assembling Hexbeam. Though I thought of getting one, it is difficult to host it on my small balcony. All those who have used Hexbeam have good opinion about the performance, with low wind loading and ease of rotating. Some even rotate by "Armstrong method"!
Hum, mine is on the other side of the house how can I figure which cables are the one going to the current bell? If that bell is some how connected to one of the others do I just replace that with the 24v one I acquired? How would it work since the one everyone’s buying don’t have a safety switch then?
I quite enjoyed that movie it was quite good hope it had a very good ending was a few mstakes with the movie specially with using the radio but it had a good story
I set this up myself a while ago after following the guide on the forumand everything works great aside from one issue. My setup has been up for over a year or so and my coin battery has run out. I thought it was no issue but any new 3V coin batteries just don't work. It burns through almost 1 coin battery every 5 days. Any idea how to have this setup wired and not needing the battery?
@@on7fd Hmm, not sure cos they're deffo lithium ion. Testing different polarities on the wires, as I might have muddled them up. After closer reading of the manual, bearing in mind I'm no electrical engineer, I don't think it's possible with a video doorbell to have it without a battery
Washington DC is not listed as a filming location for this movie in IMDB but that is absolutely 100% for real the District of Columbia and the DC Metro.
Ham radio is still going strong, although few Hams build their own radios anymore, and they are much smaller, many of us still like using the old ones and keeping them going too. Morse code (CW) is still used by some, but no longer required to get your license, just a simple 25 or 35 multi-choice test that's easy to study for to get the first entry level license.
this is indeed true, it remains a fantastic hobby. There are indeed fewer and fewer self-build projects because the cost of ready-made devices is becoming increasingly affordable. Still, DIY remains part of the ham radio experimentation. 73, ON7FD
QRZ, I got my novice license in June of 1960, KN5EYS, and my general one year later, K5EYS, the same call I still hold today, 04.2023. The ham fraternity was hoping to see a multi band beam on top of the White House when Barry Goldwater (R) K7UGA was running for POTUS. Unfortunately it did not happen. Some might have thought that Barry just had a ham license with very little activity, but you can go on line right now and read his story and the active bands and traffic handling that he was doing even back then, when he was a US Senator. He was also very technically minded and very talented, and could have advanced communication technology back in the 60s if he had gotten in the W H. He was still able to get a lot done as a Senator and was on very powerful committees on Capital hill. RIP Barry, K7UGA
This worked well for me, and it isn’t a lot of work. Allowed me to restore the chime functioning for the unifi 4g pro which recently began resetting when the doorbell was pressed. Thanks!
We have the same setup in the office. I want to connect a second doorbell for our door in back. Can I connect it the same way to A2/AC2 and use the same chime?
Hi, Can you confirm whether you have a small voltage (~1.5V) across the leads that go to the Honeywell unit from the Unifi dongle when the doorbell button has not been pressed?
I'm now experiencing ghost chimes when the doorbell switches in and out of night mode (when the infrared LEDs turn on/off). Do you have any issues with ghost chimes?
No, I don't believe that to be the issue, the Honeywell wireless converter unit itself is being triggered (orange led flashes) when the doorbell enters or exits night mode. Is your setup as shown in the video, with the supplied transformer? I wondered if my transformer was part of the issue (18vac 36VA) but it's within spec so shouldn't be! There are other reports online of ghost chimes that coincide with the IR LEDs
Hi Filip - SP6 build just completed - looking forward to getting her into the air this weekend - your videos have been a great inspiration 73 Gerry EI6IYB
@@jaceksp6abo Jacek! Dzięki za info! Rozmawiałem z nim, w naszym trudnym czasie z dostawą anteny do Rosji są pewne trudności. Mam nadzieję, że radioamatorzy zawsze znajdą wspólny język i będę mógł zamówić tę antenę od sp6cyn. 73 de UI6L
yes.......... i qrz'd all the callsigns to no avail lol, at least the prefixes are right... great movie tho, interesting fact herman munster has a valid callsign lol, w6xrl4
I have just purchased a HexBeam. I know that it is not resonant on 40 meters but have you tried to work on 40 meters with it using a tuner? Interested to know. I know that there is an add-on for it for 40 meters but i'm not interested in this as the antenna is already pretty big.
