My Favorite Ham Radio Gadgets of 2025

In this laid-back Saturday morning video, I run-down of the gear that saw real use during my 2025 ham radio adventures, from backyard operating to countless Parks on the Air activations. I cover standout items like Meshtastic nodes (C-Studio T1000 and Spec5 Delta), the game-changing ArmorLock cage for my FTDX10, the incredibly versatile Hamtop SkyHook system, the Bluetooth-programmable Valet VRN76 handheld with APRS, free logging apps (Polo & Hamrs), the Sofirn Nova flashlight, and the RigExpert AA-33 Zoom antenna analyzer. If you’re looking for proven, field-tested recommendations (or last-minute holiday gift ideas for the ham in your life), these are the gadgets I reached for again and again this year! links: SenseCAP Card Tracker T1000-E - https://amzn.to/4iHJPnP Spec5 Trekker Delta - https://specfive.com/products/spec5-trekker-delta?variant=47360224002288 armoloq - FT-DX10 - https://armoloq.com/yaesu/ft-dx10/ The Ham Stop Sky hooks - https://www.etsy.com/shop/HamStop VERO VR-N76 - https://www.gigaparts.com/vero-vr-n76-7w-144-430mhz-dual-band-handheld-transceiver.html Polo Logger - https://polo.ham2k.com/ HAMRS Logger - https://hamrs.app/ SolTac Nova - https://www.soltacusa.com/shop/p/nova RigExpert AA-35 Zoom - https://www.gigaparts.com/rigexpert-aa-35-zoom-60-khz-to-35-mhz-non-bluetooth.html RigExpert Stick 230 - https://www.gigaparts.com/rigexpert-stick-60khz-35mhz-analyzer.html New Tanker Radio Gear: New Tank Radio Pillow - https://www.etsy.com/listing/4295008136/tank-radio-pillow-for-amateur-radio New Tank Radio Black Out T Shirt - https://grapevineamateurradio.com/products/tank-radio-black-out-t-shirt-on-demand-order Tank US Band Plan Pad - https://quirkyqrphamradios.etsy.com/listing/1657938891 Hoodies - https://grapevineamateurradio.com/products/tank-radio-hoodie-limited-time Boonie Hats - https://www.gigaparts.com/tank-radio-logo-boonie-hat.html Sticker Pack - https://grapevineamateurradio.com/collections/combo-packs/products/tank-radio-official-sticker-pack Help support me by: RollerCam Website - https://classic.avantlink.com/click.php?tool_type=ml&merchant_link_id=6e7562a0-f7b0-4d9a-b15e-25ce3aedb94a&website_id=16611296-f891-4f8b-8010-5fa29c2cab5f 5% off selected Items at Gigaparts- https://www.gigaparts.com/nsearch/?lp=KG5AHJ%20INFLUENCER%20PAGE 5% off at Alpha Antenna - https://www.alphaantenna.com/?aff=20 Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/TankRadio Buy Me a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/TankRadio PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TankRadio Amazon affiliate:https://amzn.to/3Zlhjzn Tank Radios T-Shirt : https://grapevineamateurradio.com/collections/youtubers-bunch/products/tank-radio-short-sleeve-t-shirt-special-order Follow me on: Discord: https://discord.com/invite/5gGCq4wY8n Channel Tank Radio Twitter: https://twitter.com/KG5AHJ #2025HamRadioGadgets #KG5AHJ #TankRadio
