inside Hampack - a closer look to the FT 817 Manpack [english]

This video is about the Hampack. From the first thoughts to the final product. Please keep in mind that it is not for sale but I plan a second version with a SDR - Transceiver. Maybe I find some People who will support this Project financially.

Version 2 of the Hampack is in work. A transceiver has been found which fits my ideas. From now on it will take some time to do a proper design and produce a pre production model. I will keep you informed. I am still open for ideas and your needs. Feel free to send me an email [e-mail].

[@new2radioz]

Wishing you all the best! An option to choose a faceplate, cut out for any of the various popular radios in this segment would be great! Have you thought of going the Kickstarter way to fund the project? You can count me in!

[@ApocGuy]

what kind of SDR transceiver do you plan to use? love current design too. may "steal" some ideas from yours if you dont mind ;)

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

@@ApocGuy the sdr will arrive in a few days. If this transceiver turns out to be the right one I will post a video soon. Officially I will start the project end of August. You can follow the progress also on Instagram dh3pm_hampack. I am not really sure if I make this a public project or not. It is a lot of time and money consuming so if it is public I spend a lot of money. In this case there has to be some financing. I know that a lot of people out there a starving for e relative cheap military style case. I know that every information provided here can be used by everyone. So feel free to open your mind and use any kind of information here. If the big companies can't provide us with technology we would like to have we have to do by our own.

awesome project sorry to hear about your friend Uli 73's

[@MrM2hb]

Great work.

[@SINESTERSERPENTSIXXX]

you could apply a radio like this but have change out modules for different frequencies 2 meter through the highest meter. it would make the pack radio very flexable. a similar idea sig did with the usa's new p320.

great video

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

Feel free to send me your ideas for hampack V2. I have a special interest in sdr transceiver which could be used for version 2. It should run 20 watts on shortwave without any gaps. 2m would be fine too. A tuner should already be available. If we find a good sdr I will be ready to create V2. Write any suggestions to my email [e-mail] with hampack V2 in the headline.

[@denisjakac2033]

Sorry for the loss of your friend, Uli. I love the toughness of a military manpack and have a few. If this becomes available to purchase please contact me. This creation you have is a work of art and what Yaesu should have built it like in the first place! Cheers Denis, VE3ZXN

[@bigphil6980]

please let us know when the Hampack comes into it final production model as i will be wanting one when you do as its what i have been looking for ,for a long time. i hope you will announce it in the radio press and here on youtube as i think you will get a lot of orders from people like me who are wanting this

[@francoispf3418]

Très beau travail, c'est vraiment digne d'une réalisation de qualité militaire. Félicitation

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

Merci :-)

[@VE3UET]

so , where do I buy a ham Pack, I cannot find any listings on Google, 73 Mike

[@franckalcidi2109]

Have you thought of doing this through kickstarter? I think you would get a lot of interest and I would definitely support you if you did. I want to see this mass produced because its one of the best Manpacks I have seen!

[@Phoenix135tube]

Apologies, I just suggested the same thing, then I saw your comment...

[@neosentry]

I love everything you’re doing there. Put me on your list for potential investors\sponsors should you want to try producing a commercial product. We might need to consider a new radio soon, assuming Yaesu is working on a replacement for the 817/818.. but.. I firmly believe this kind of thinking has huge value to the amateur radio community.

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

Hi james! Thanks for your comment. Feel free to send me an email [e-mail]

Bluetooth is a brilliant idea to programme it

[@jeffreycalhoun5586]

Can you reveal the source of the cover for the radio?

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

It was machined from a block.

[@ChatGPT1111]

Nice demo. With version 2, can you turn down the music about 10 notches so we can hear what you're saying without getting a splitting headache?

[@James_Bowie]

Actually, there's no need for music at all. It's totally distracting.

[@larspregge6420]

Schönes Teil. Funktioniert die Wärmeabfuhr gut? Habt ihr da noch extra verbindung zum Gehäuse?

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

Beim ft817 ist die Wärmeabgabe gering. Das hampack v1 war ein Projekt. Mit dem nun startenden Projekt hampack v2 wollen wir einige Dinge verbessern und mehreren trx den Einbau ermöglichen. Mehr Infos dazu kommen zeitnah.

[@larspregge6420]

@@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND Ich hätte bei sowas Angst mir die Endstufe zu zerrösten. Machen andere ja mit FT8 und dicken Verstärkern :D Wenn bald was kommt, da abboniere ich doch gleich mal den kanal. 73

[@dalekenworthy]

Hi Patrick, great pack, love the design, could it be 3D printed? To reduce cost, which antenna do you use for the man pack? I also have an FT818ND Keep up the good work and stay safe

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

Thank you! Version 2 is in planning. I sold all hampacks version 1. You can use any antenna. Mostly I use chameleon antenna and diamond single band antennas for shortwave.

[@dalekenworthy]

Hi Patrick sorry to bother you again but I’m completely new to ham radio, do you use the diamond HF FX range or CL range of monoband antennas?

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

@@dalekenworthy i use the Diamond HF20FX in this Video if i remember well.

Sometimes in life you need some time for the next step. I am slowly networking to find some partners for the next version. So far there are some ideas to discuss with interesting people. So you never know but there is a chance to restart the project in 2020.

[@FranklinLaserBlog]

+Patrick Mueller Danke!

[@chrishorne6730]

any plans for the ft-857?

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

Sorry - no. I have an Idea of HAMPACK V2 in my mind but this will take some time. It will not support the Yaesu FT 857. Yaesu seems to me that they are way behind the needs of the market and not willing to produce something really interisting. SDR are state of the art and this is what I have in my mind for V2.

[@TheReconPrepper]

i wonder if you made the pack more generic so that any small radio could fit in it and then sold custom molded faceplates to cover the hole so it would still be waterproof. The faceplates could be made on a 3d printer so as to keep cost down. love the design though and looks awesome!!!!!

[@jasonhowe1697]

Question can you make it stackable with multiple cases screwed together??

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

Yes - on the bottom side there are also holes with blind screws. They can be used for anything you like. In case of stacking you can use these screws for a connecting sheet to place 2 of them in a car for example.

[@jasonhowe1697]

i meant actually screwing the cases together removing face plate.. so you could use more than 1 radio. this would be a great modular option for vehicle solution van solution or remote base ever thought of doing a complete battery module where you have a complete case full batteries what are the cases worth on their own?? ever thought of doing a 1-2u case option

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

No.Please keep in mind that we had to make it as simple as possible because of the financing. We had the same idea but in the end we could not follow all the ideas. Maybe a rich supporter is out there in the world for Hampack 2 ;-)

[@jasonhowe1697]

I think as designers we think of 1 design form factor and fail to look past the intended use of the chassis design.. You have multiple markets on case alone.. I'm not saying not to Develop this concept as a standalone unit.. Though think past that concept and see marketing the case on its own with nothing would be more value to the company, than building the form factor and shoving in obsolete hardware... In it

[@RA-II]

you should put this on kickstart

[@taldeus4008]

Can we order this somewhere?

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

No. There is no production.

Yes but I am out of money to build a second version.

Das war ein ausschließlich privates Projekt und es gibt keine Kaufversion. Allerdings gibt es da schon Überlegungen für ein Hampack V2 welches dann professioneller daher kommt und bei genügend Resonanz in Serie gehen kann....wie immer sind die Finanzen das Problem - nicht die Ideen ;-)

[@Phoenix135tube]

Patrick, why not KICKSTARTER your Hampack?

[@PatrickMuellerKOROLAND]

Maybe. So far there is no transceiver on the market which is cheap enough and technically suitable for a hampack 2.
