“mostly,” only because I’m still trying to decide on the radio that will live permanently in it… In the mean time, my mobile, a Kenwood TM-V71A, sites nicely in on top of the empty area.
My go-box consists of:
- Harbor Freight/Apache 3800 case
- Seems really sturdy, and is IP65 watertight and dustproof, and for a price point that made the decision pretty easy.
- Bioenno power LiFePO4 (12V, 12Ah battery
- It’s light! 3.3 lbs!
- Bank of 4 switches with a volt meter and USB plus attached
- An SO239/SO239 panel connector to route the antenna coax from the antenna to underneath the panel
- A Pl259/PL259 1′ pigtail coax cable to route from the other side of the SO239 connector to the future radio, once its mounted in, or underneath the panel
- A set of Powerpole connectors on the case to power equipment above the panel
- A 2.1mm x 5mm charging port to charge the LFP battery from the charger at home.
- A master switch to shut the hole thing off.
