But is the cost where it should be? Do you bring spares? What kind of crimper do you use with the KtgcX23sm connector? Does it go by an easier to remember name?

This was only a temporary setup. I was waiting on zip cord to arrive. My battery is fused, which I should have mentioned in the video. I recall someone complaining that I had the fuse end attached to the radio instead of at the battery. I like the idea of TechFlex. I didn’t even realize what that was. My fishing poles are transported in a very similar material! I may have to cut one up and use some heat shrink to lock it in place.

Now’s the time! I may look at doing this to my Icom IC-7300. Don’t know if anyone has attempted that yet nor do I know if it’s possible. Guess I need to do some research.

We use both XT60 and Anderson in my high school’s robotics team. I don’t think the XT60 is as popular in the amateur radio scene, though. Not knocking it, but most of my friends and acquaintances use Anderson PP.

Sometimes you have to live on the wild side.

Yep. I didn’t even know Japanese Industry Standard was a thing until today. That would explain why all of my mobile mount screws are all worn out.

I just use dollar store discount tin foil. About 2mm wide between the fuse holder contacts. I’ve never had one go bad. (Disclaimer: this is a false statement and meant as humor, though I have done it in an “emergency.”)

Ok
