15 hours, thats awesome! Also, I have to thank you for making this stuff easy for anyone to understand.. As someone who wants to get into linux and raspberry pi stuff, this is greatly appreciated.

[@temporarilyoffline]

Thanks for the kind words. I enjoy helping out.

[@RoyArmy-WREW918]

add a third sdr dongle for voice scanning the air band so you can have the air traffic running as you display the data. Just a thought. this was something I was thinking of myself for a project...

[@temporarilyoffline]

That's a great idea! I'm out of ports right now... have to figure something out. I've always wanted an airband radio... hmm... 🤔

[@RoyArmy-WREW918]

@@temporarilyoffline I thought I saw there being 3 USB ports, and I only see you use 2 for the data dongles. Did I miss what you were using the third USB Port for??

[@temporarilyoffline]

@@RoyArmy-WREW918 Its coming up, either GPS or stronger wifi... I have a few options for either, but since it isn't landed yet, gotta reserve it.

[@RoyArmy-WREW918]

[@temporarilyoffline]

@@RoyArmy-WREW918 I think this is one of those projects I'll get to iterate on for a long time with lots of community feedback. I'm having a lot of fun!

GLORIOUS!!! Can you link that shuriken shaped USB connector that shows you the power going through it?

Nice work! Wish pi zero available

Thanks! I had to pay extra for it! Needed to get this job done.

I installed the lanyard.

Braver than I!

Nice battery. Speaking QRP radios on these packs, I recently got a Bluetti EB3A. Sort of a GoBox battery but with lots of added stuff like USB-C QC3.0 (PD) charging port capable of 100W. And also wireless Qi charging for your Android or iPhone. Plus two DC ports that are rated at 10amps. Plenty of power to run a G90 or a G106 for about 4hrs. Which is fine for POTA. Maybe youd like to stay up longer. For me 4hrs is long enough. I also found a PD cable for my HP laptop so now everything runs off the Bluetti EB3A

[@temporarilyoffline]

Very nice. I ran my QRP radio on this exact battery for 7 hours of FT8, I was impressed.

[@danielkramarsky5858]

Wow. That is exceptional!

[@DirtyPlumbus]

It saved itself with the type C input. I have a decent quality and capacity power brick that it is micro input only and I absolutely hate it. Everything else I own is type C so there's always a cable nearby. Every time I need to recharge that stupid brick I have to go searching for a cable. I should probably save myself the trouble and replace it with this. Lol

[@temporarilyoffline]

Either this or an adapter.

[@renroderick]

My guess is that you are using the 'orange' dongle for UAT on 978 MHz not ACARS on 131MHz?? ACARS is normally used for TEXT messaging between Aircraft or Aircraft to Tower.

[@temporarilyoffline]

I'm using the orange dongle currently to track another map in the browser. I have used it for the text messages you speak of, but haven't finished integrating it with the setup.

[@JT-py9lv]

Fun Fun Fun...

Always something to do in this hobby!

[@DonzLockz]

It lasts a long time, plenty of time to do the hard sell of HAM radio to curios onlookers. Lol I use Baseus brand power banks and like them alot.👍

[@temporarilyoffline]

I'm on a mission!

[@DonzLockz]

@@temporarilyoffline haha, make them drink the Kool-Aid!😆🍷📻

[@tedw7193]

Were the radios turned on for the test? That will def effect battery draw, I’m only suspect they were not because to the draw seemed low with the usb dingus monitor. You might try using rtl_fm tuned to a couple local stations and see if that amp draw goes up.

[@temporarilyoffline]

Yes, the radios were on for the test.

[@tedw7193]

Had brain been activated they had to be on, it’s too early with no caffeine to do any simple maths, adding up ~average current draw for all 3 devices should come out around 1 amp or so. Neat project, I’ve got an adsb go box I built long ago, still running to this day

[@temporarilyoffline]

@@tedw7193 math is hard sometimes!

[@gailpeterson4012]

what is QC charging?

[@temporarilyoffline]

It's the way newer smartphones can charge faster on good chargers.

[@KeepEvery1Guessing]

I don't suppose that the USB power dingus(tm) has an English label mode?

[@temporarilyoffline]

English label?

[@LeeMcc_KI5YPR]

The display was in another language. Chinese?

[@temporarilyoffline]

@LeeMcc_KI5YPR I get it now - not the battery, but the usb power tester. I'll have to take a look.

[@KeepEvery1Guessing]

@@temporarilyoffline I'm seeing Chinese characters labeling the values on the display of the "USB DIGITAL TESTER" at kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5PQZoBufttlkKM

[@temporarilyoffline]

I had a chance to get this dingus out for another project. It has a button on it to change the display and it will cycle through many different screens. Most of them english. amzn.to/3YZEBbU

[@BarefootBeekeeper]

20aH? Sure. My DeWalt 5aH batteries are 4x the size of that one

[@temporarilyoffline]

20mAh at 5v

[@markusberg2770]

Incorporating Linux software into your test bed was impressive.

So did I miss a video? What is this ADSB?

[@temporarilyoffline]

ADSB is tracking airplanes overhead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5i0i5tjfdqlqsU

[@HamRadio200]

@@temporarilyoffline I like your videos, and I certainly enjoy ADSB. But, what does ADSB have to do with survival offline? It seems to be only useful to aviation, and if we're offline, I'm not sure that it would be relevant. Your thoughts?

[@temporarilyoffline]

@RadioBro184 probably has nothing to do with survival, it was just fun to play with. There are some lessons to be eeked out about batteries and (soon) GPS and offline mapping. Just building skills

[@HamRadio200]

@@temporarilyoffline fair enough. I personally have and ADSB setup in my shack, connected to a 38,400mah OmniCharge power bank. putting together these sorts of things is definitely a learning experience.
