SIMPLE! & PERFECT!

try to send "stock aapl" to 9M2PJU-2

Seems like a bad idea having the antenna that close to you and the radio.

Thanks a lot!

4 u but how deep?

You lost me at "too much of a commitment", however - good build, nice and compact.

Good setup, but require a time to get on the air, I've assemble other ham_case for portable operation th-cam.com/video/6kygpEie-pc/w-d-xo.html

those hf boxes are only water restant. NOT water proof.

ILL SAY FOR YOUR 1ST ATTEMPT YOU DID PRETTY DANG GOOD,,, I AM DOING MY VERRY FIRST AMMO CAN HUGE 20 MM GRADE 2 AMMO BOX AS A STATIONARY GENERATION / BACK UP VHF UHF RADIIO STATIONARY... LIKE A SOLAR GERATOR INCASE HYDRO WAS TO FAIL... IT HOUSES A WAPPING FUILL SIZE 16.5 POUND 28 AH LEAD ACID BATTERY A FUILL SIZE 10 AMP MPPT EPEVER CHARGE CINTROLLER... A 150 WATT MINI INVERTER AND SO FAR MINE HAS 3 SOLAR PANELS ... THREE FLEXABLE 15 WATT PANELS

I like it

Hey Bob, have you set this up using ConnectDesk/SMS since SMSGTE is gone?

I don’t use my go box often… I just use dewalt battery with buck converter with mxt275in dewalt tstak case….

Will the velcro hold if it gets dropped or knocked over?

Have you had a problem with a failing display

Ft-7800 is a nice option, compact and light with 1000 memory channels. Only complaint is the limited 6 character alpha tag I prefer 14 characters

Could you do a control head separation cord then lay the radio flat, you could Velcro the faceplate on the lid or even use a rj_ _ waterproof connector for a more remote use

Nice

WELL DONE! Great tips to address some concerns I've had regarding punching holes in a waterproof storage case. I like your clean, simple, functional design.

can we use powerbank as power supply boss ? 🙏🏼

Question: Since it's got bluetooth to smartphones, is it possible to compose a message in the app and send it? Nice video, BTW!

Wow Bob ! Well done simple and compacted, lov it..... Should do a video of how you put everything together that going to be great. What I suggest you is adding a solar pannel for charging the batery and a better antenna w/ a portable mast for POTA or traveling around.

Oh I think you did an excellent job. I don’t think I would change anything. Great job and thank you for sharing.

how do you configured the 878 to send the message to another station? Your config only showed how to reply. How do you initiate the message on a 878/578

Great idea to include an antenna in the box (especially when you can add the magnetic mount)

Anytone has not really embraced the full functionality of APRS as Yaesu does. Granted the texting portion is very clunky for both brands but for short messages such as "I'm alive" it is practical. The AT-D878UVII is the current top end HT that supports APRS text send and receive while the top end mobile AT-D578UVIII does not. What's up with that Anytone?

I've been trying to figure this out.. But I have an 878 II non plus, so it doesn't have aprs RX. Do you know how I can send an aprs message without getting one first and replying to it? I assumed I would just go to Menu, aprs, ana sms, new sms, but I'm not sure what to enter on the screen after i input the message.

If this has been mentioned please forgive me, but are you using a BMS with the Lithium bat?

Wonderful idea on taking the rig in and out with you when you are traveling.

This is just brilliant! Neatly presented and appealing❤❤ love it so much

it thailand anytone rebrand this to expert and sell by tenmetershop

Does it work with 878 uv 1?

Was that direct- radio to radio ? Or was that thru a digipeater?

These radios can have AES encryption? Does it encrypt aprs data or voice only? Ty

Good first attempt, would suggest adding some sort of capacity meter (like a powerwerx BVM-100) to keep track of the battery. Lithium phosphate unlike an AGM does not exhibit a linear relationship between the battery voltage and remaining capacity. With the bioeenos the voltage will stay solid and then at its depletion shutdown without warning. I would use some sort of a metal brace under the radio to hold it up and take advantage of the cubbyhole below to store things like the mic or a victory cigar. As with antennas, keep in mind the radiation exposure limits when transmitting with the antenna so close to you, keep it under 10W, and watch for stray voltage if its a 1/4wave. I would personally suggest using a half wave antenna which eliminates your need for a ground plane. My backpack is installed with my HT a Nagoya RH660S, needs no groundplane, about 11" retracted and 42" extended, good for 10W and gives me at least a 2.1dBi of gain. It is a bit fragile, but it comes in SMA, SMA-R, or BNC. Go for the BNC one. I've smacked enough branches to scrape paint off and I've only had one fail out of six or seven currently in use. used outdoors when its not raining. Along with any radio, its better to include the manual. seeing that you have space on your lid, here's my way to keep things together. Buy a chipboard, then cut the board to shape your lid and glue it to the lid. I use it in my go kits to hold the various ICS forms back when I was still active in ARES simulated exercises. For me every box I've built is designed to be easily understood by another ham who may find it after I become an /SK in a disaster area and is equipped with everything they may need to learn how to use it. circuit diagrams, manuals, repeaters in the memory, etc, printed, laminated, stowed. Tools are included so that anyone can strip them for parts or use them as is, but that's my design philosophy, to each their own :) the Bioeeno 20AH is the perfect balance for basically every mobile up to even the Base stations. For me I try to equip my go-kits with some kind of solar charging function just so if the suns out and I happen to be able to field a panel I can run off of that. Something like a Powerwerx MPPT-150-14.6 takes up almost no room and plugs right into the Rig runner and its there as a side option. Obviously with more features it gets heavier, ultimately its up to the user to consider what's important. I think this kit is nice for what it is, its elegant in its simplicity and looks like a winner the way it is. Now that you built it, use it, use it, use it and then the design will start to transform to shape your usage habits. 73 de KN4GEI

How do you like the radio overall?

I really like the simplicity! How do you charge the battery?

I have been searching high and low to find this answer too. So thanks for providing the answer! It's kinda a shame the screen doesn't have a new or unread message notification. Because if you miss the pop wouldn't really know if you have a message without checking all the time. Not practical.

That's very nice work.

That’s pretty cool.

Nifty little setup. Well done!

Hey I need help installing the software on my laptop for my 868. Can any one help me?

Nice little rig. Looking to do something similar.

Bob, do you use a interface cable for your Z100a and the FTDX-10? Are they compatible?

terrific setup wow fantastic job 73 from kb2uew

I just got my Anytone DMR ht and built my first codeplug. APRS is receiving packets and SMS send/receive is working fine, but I am not getting any APRS packets to transmit other than the SMS (No position is being sent & callsign is not showing up in aprs.fi. Do you have any hints or ideas on what I might be doing wrong? TIA & 73's K6TPG

hello very interesting video content .. if a link can be provided to download the diagram, it would be good to better understand how to connect ... here 9w8dom 73
