Redneck engineering manpack
(lemmy.radio)
An ice fishing box to house my ic-7000, an atu, a battery pack. Very crude but solid rack made of pine board I had laying around. This is cobbling of the best sort.
Love it, great job!
If I had to provide points of possible improvement:
Source: I'm environmentally damaged from doing GMDSS installs for four years.
Which antenna are you using? What's your TX wattage?
Didn't have N connectors. They're so fiddly to solder. And rg58 is what I have so that is what I use.
It's an IC7000, so it can do 100w on HF. I will use various antennas. But all of them built from bits and pieces in the garage. Mostly eflw, dipols or verticals I think.
