HAM RADIO GO BOX ? TRANSPORTABLE HAM SHACK Version 2

Building a transportable ham shack version 2. Monitor mounting bracket and Mic preamp that was clinging outside of the box now relocated inside the box
FYI
There's a minor error on this video editing. On FT-100 CAT control demo scene, it looks like there is some CAT communication delay between FT-100 and HDSDR, but it's solely because of the video editing error.
There is NO delay.

Maaaaaaan! Keewelllll !!! That is one “tight” setup🥰. (Looks quite spendy, to be sure.) 💸💸💸💸

[@va3be_radio]

Yes indeed it's challenging to arrange all gears in the box, but I have a strong feeling that it will continue to evolve 😄 Thanks and 73

I like it, the ideas are sound, the workmanship is very good and you come up with a few innovative ideas to make the rest of us think how to improve our own setups. this is what amateur radio is supposed to be.

Nice build! Haw SDR is connected to radio?

[@va3be_radio]

Thanks Andrzej for your comment Regarding your question, I use MFJ-1708 B RF sensing T/R switch to share an antenna It's like ANTENNA-->MFJ-1708B-->SDR Dongle / Radio (Share) This way, when I TX, SDR receiver is disconnected from antenna. SDR dongle is connected to mini PC USB port IC-7300 has a USB port which is also connected to mini PC For FT-100, I use CT-62 FTDI Chipset USB CAT control cable that is also connected to mini PC USB port. I use software HDSDR and Omni-rig, which makes me possible to choose any radio for CAT control That's about it Thanks again and 73

@@va3be_radio Nice! I tried to solder the panadapter to my 857d, but unfortunately I damaged the motherboard somehow 🤣 Your way is safer :) Great design, keep it up! 73!

Are you using AC Power supply or LFP Battery supply? another Q is about Your mini Pc - is this a 12v powered. Many eg Beehive run an AC to DC at about 19VDC - nuisance when the Rigs use 12V - really prevent me running a Mini PC with my 4RU VHF/UHF portable Go Box powered by a 12 V LFP Batt supply plus external ports for external DC or AC supply - can't really add yet another PS

Hello Thanks for watching my video. As you can tell by the title of this video, it's not a typical Go box, but just a ham shack built in a rack case. I built it to bring it to summer cabin where I can use AC , not to bring it to parks or beaches. I never thought about running it with battery, but if I have to, I may have to get a battery for radios and DC/DC upconverter for mini PC. Another simple way could be using portable power station which supplies both DC and AC. I will continue to share any future progress about my NO GO 😄 BOX on my channel. Thanks again and 73
