Hello Operators.
Over the past few weeks I've published several articles entitled "Man Portable Off-grid Power for Amateur Radio", on www.oh8stn.org. This video is the result of that research & field testing. In this video, I'll breakdown each module & component of my Portable Solar Powered GoKit for Ham Radio. Later on I'll do individual build/review videos for each component.
The kit follows a "Lego block" approach, and is designed to be modular. The kit is based on three unique modules:
- Power & DC distribution
- Radio & Computing
- Antennas & Support
The entire kit weighs between 7-10 kg depending on the options chosen (including 1L water and rucksack) .
