It’s about 20-25 lbs. so you could huff it on a hike. I have a shoulder strap which would make that possible ... It’s really meant to be car portable and camp ground usable. If I need to huff a radio up into a hike / woods / extended journey I’ll take a HT and my solar panel for charging (I...

Not sure if the link is working, if it’s broken for your try this?

Late last year I decided to start building a portable radio kit. I don’t have any experience building these kinds of things, and used this site plus a few others to get some feedback / ideas. I figured I at least owed the group an update (for those interested). Purely an amateur trying to hang...

gp - you mean ground plane? Or?

Looks like he isn’t taking orders. I’ll look again in a few. Thanks!

i would but I don’t have any of the supplies. :( + I’m not yet that confident! Lol. Do you have any links or articles?

Hey thanks. That link doesn’t seem to work. Mind sending me the details?

Hey folks any idea where I can get a good quality J Pole / portable antenna which works on 462/467 MHz as well as 118-174 MHz & 375- 550 mhz ( essentially gmrs and uhf/vhf)? If I’m really going to be picky preferably swr below 1.5 and some be gain would be nice :) ive got a icom 2730a and...

Here are some progress pics. Radio cut outs will come post Santa day, and wiring will finish just after.

Hey there. In another thread https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/portable-power-and-radio-kit-home-build.259721/#post-740441 It was mentioned you used amped outdoors battery. I’m looking to get one , but wanted to see if you had any feedback to share on their batteries now having used one ?

Hey there. You posted a video a little bit about about your amped outdoors battery. I’m about to pop for one myself but wondered how you found yours to be?

I’ve been playing around with box layout and was wondering if I could get your feedback on this version? Any products you think which are unnecessary or redundant? or perhaps there’s a better version of a product I should use? How about Air flow design? Power vs rf separation? thanks!

Ugh ohhhhh. Look what arrived today :) That’s a 20mm M548 large ammo can (at least as per the eBay listing). more to come

Oh and ps - I highly highly highly recommend reading the book “tribe” by Sebastian Junger. http://www.sebastianjunger.com/tribe-by-sebastian-junger

Heya. I’ll jump in, but only for a little. I really just want to talk about radio here but this thread caught my eye. Here’s my take: I don’t know if there is a rise of police brutality going on, but I do know the ability for such events to be recorded and shared has increased...

I was thinking of using a president cb for this project. Plus a gmrs and a spot for ham if / when I get my license.

yep. Bouncing around from spot to spot (errands) with the kid in back seeing who’s out there. Got a little convo going today about traffic etc and what’s going on around. Then they got bored or distance came into play and it stopped. Had to get off the highway and get onto local streets...
