I use the Low Voltage Battery Alarm to alert me when the 12V SLA battery gets to 9V. This is very easy to build, Using an LM339 IC chip you're only using 5 terminals on it. If you do ARES, CERT, partake in checkpoints during Marathons and are on battery power this unit will alert you when the voltage drops to you're setting.

Very Thoughtful. Thanks for posting.
Do you have a video showing it work in the field?
I'm currently working on obtaining what I need for such a box. I really like your video and the explanations and details.
Thank you Larry, Eddie
Why? The sky is not about to fall...
well you have been building these for year. well its getting close now to the time it will come into use, sad to say. you asked for it.
I know exactly what you mean, I hope I'm taken in the rapture before this happens.
Great stuff
....deep respect Edward - awesome job you´ve done! Never seen such a GoBox.....well done!
in my opinion it is not advisable to install the module because the weak signals are lost, moreover it becomes difficult to decipher the correspondent .... practically it is worse than the FT-991 DSP where the audio seems to come from the planet Mars.
They are not, thanks for asking.
Are these available for purchase
I did a similar thing, but with graphene batteries, solar inverter.. all inside the faraday cage with magnetic protection and electromagnets
That's very interesting, I like it and thanks for the info on graphene batteries, I have not known about graphene batteries, now I have some knowledge to catch up on. Thanks Michael!
EXELENTE VIDEO PRIMER ECOM QUE VEO MOSTRANSO EL EQUIPO CON TODAS SUS ANTENAS. EXCELLENT VIDEO FIRST ECOM I SEE SHOWING THE TEAM WITH ALL ITS ANTENNAS
Thank you, Eddie kj4fgi
Definitely one of the best go boxes I’ve ever seen. What changes have you made since recording this video?
Very cool and, as you say, much simpler and more compact than the pneumatic ones. I think perhaps even the level 2 brown box would be enough caliber to get over a big tree, and maybe less loud. It might be a little too loud for POTA, since it’s a 22 caliber blank and likely sounds like a weapon. Question… do you launch the kite line while it’s on this reel? Or do you flake it out carefully on the ground before launching? … and do you think the weight of the heavy wire at the base of the ‘dummy’ is needed? It seems like maybe the cushioned muff piece is not a bad idea.. making the projectile hit more softly. Is your impression that the added weight helps it fly farther, or less far. Appreciate the tips :)
First run out the kite line the distance that you believe you're going to need, then pull the line back in dragging the projectile so that when the projectile is in your hand all the line is in a circle below you. The heavy wire at the projectile, I put it on there because in the video with Bob Heil , they added the weight and I believe it is they are so that you could attach a heavier rope and the momentum will be there to bring it over the tree. If you leave the white cushioned piece on, it may cause more wind resistance, the weight of heavier line and the cushioned piece may limit the height you may get from the projectile wind resistance. As far as 22 caliber blanks, You can use the green blanks and you can use the yellow blanks but it is recommended not to use the red tutor they are more powerful.

I'm in the process of building a gmrs version of this
Just look at the beginning of this video and watch the SWR readings and power output with the Comet 2x4 antenna ua-cam.com/video/Zh8oGYq5asw/v-deo.html
@@EddieVfgi ill probably use a roll up j pole antenna
That's a heavy go bov.
13 pounds is not heavy, in the box is the radio and the LiFePo4 Bioenno battery, the 12 volt SLA battery is 12 pounds, that's why I don't use the SLA batt when portable. when the radio and LiFePo4 battery, is 13 pounds
I like it ha ha, better than a crossbow lol. Great video Edward. N1LRF, 73's
Thank you I used to use a compound bow, I'm 66 so you know that bow was made out of wood and had a heavy draw, LOL

Very nice. I hope you have good health insurance for your back.

I have just acquired one of these I need the power cable, could you make a suggestion ? thanks KE8HAS
I don't remember what the back of it look like, I sold it about six years ago.
Did you end up figuring that out? Looks like a 3.5mm cable
@@lucase6407 yes it was a 3.5 power adapter I found one on Amazon with a good filter I bought a cheaper one which made to much noise but got it going
This is a super pragmatic build. I appreciate knowing that you had problems with flush mounting the antenna coaxials. I have been thinking I'll include a 16 foot cable which will be routed into the go kit, and just coil it up and then spool it out to my antenna A/B switch will be outboard. I'll be using 3M's super velcro (Dual Loc) to do a similar easy serviceability.
16 foot cable, another good idea to add to the think tank. Ed kj4fgi
Oh hey, it's the arm hair guy again!
How much it cost to build one
Too much, I built this because this is what I had at the time and the KX3 and amplifier had all the bells and whistles and it. It was also very heavy, it covered UHF, VHF, CB, GMRS and HF. I included a CB because here in Florida we have a lot of truckers on the road and that's where you could get your information on how the roads were after a hurricane with the occasional tornado. If you're going to design one, think of what you need. Are you going to need UHF, VHF, CB, GMRS and HF all in one box? The switch panel that I built I used an old printer cable, the ones not used on computers anymore. I cut the ends off and it made a nice cable for running the multitude of wires,
Only thing you'll get on channel 6 cb is annoying people 🙄 , but very good build . Way above my head but I give it a thumbs up
Can’t help but think there’s a book locked in the rear with the nuclear launch code in that fancy rig.
Always love seeing your work...great ideas and construction.
Thank you very much, I learned by watching other Hams videos.
My HS3CMI from Thailand
Thanks for the info. Could you divide the turns by two and cut the RG 316 in half and have a 20 meter transformer? Thanks K7WHN

Yep, W1AW code practice session
Does the acronym K.I.S.S. mean anything to you? Your running a Pro510 for 11 meters, better idea would be a convert Kenwood or maybe a 2970......
Wow! Really an amazing build. Im a new ham and this is truly inspiring, got my tech march 21st, and got my general a month or so ago. Just got a free 10m radio, setting it up with an inverted v dipole, im excited to have something like this in the future and to have a full-band hf rig! 73's, KJ7WCW
Well Sam welcome to ham radio, it's an exciting hobby and there's lots to do. Rise of solar cycle 25, now just starting up, in about another two years you'll probably be talking around the world with 100 W. At the end of solar cycle 24 in 2008 I made my first contact from Florida to Australia with just an antenna cut 40 m. Ham radio operators are a great community you can ask anybody question and if they don't know the answer they will find it for you. God Bless 73s, Eddie kj4fgi
Great box! But you sure as hell ain’t “go”ing anywhere fast lugging that around
I use a foldable luggage dolly, the type you can use for taking your luggage onto an aircraft it's aluminum and it's small enough to fit in the overhead bin or under the seat
Really nice video...thank you for posting!! I built a similar go box, then I took it all apart because it was way too heavy and I realized it is very unlikely that I would ever need so many radios and equipment in a non-configurable and non-modular format for field use (or at least in my use case).
Too heavy! Yes! Looking at this and other builds on YT, I've come to the conclusion that "modular" is the way to go. One box for HF, one for VHF/UHF, one for power, and one for cables and such. Store them all together, but take only what you need. Or take all of the modules to the site, but only move them to your operating position as needed. You are likely not the only operator that will be there, and not the only person bringing gear. And as time marches on, your older back will appreciate multiple smaller loads to tote. Experience here.
Are you selling one?
Thanks but it is not for sale.
That is awesome. I am looking to build a E COM box. Will not be as elaborate as that but I got some good Ideas from your video. Great work. 73s Marty
That's how I got started Marty, watching UA-cam videos and I got a bunch ideas together, and then you create your own masterpiece. Good luck 73's Eddie kj4fgi
It is amazing, it is also on my Icom 7300
I don't like the sound on the 706. But the way BHI NR takes the QRM away is stunning
Looks heavy how much does weigh?
you said that you have the alarm set for 9v, what battery do you have that won't be destroyed by that low voltage?
dude that is so cool.. a lot of work there and impressive..
👍👍👍🐂
Brilliant idea to add the quick release for the signallink jumper board. That's an excellent highlight, but everything about the box(es) is great, thanks for sharing!
Did that come with a 10 ft powerpole extension? Whats included in the box???
its 2020 4th of july . just get my tech license. i need this for kenwood D710G. great job !! thank you for the video. happy 4th !
What a Magnum Opus tour! If I were wealthy I would pay you $ 10k to build one of those for me with me supplying the radios and batteries etc. That’s a great build and must have taken months of planning and construction. I’m glad you didn’t leave CB out. Hams often look down on the 11 meter band but in a real emergency we will need every form of communication we can get. In my book you win Ham Prepper of the year. MikeinMinnesota N0WDM
If he didn't have time ti build one for you, plz let me know. I really don't think it will cost 10k and we can discuss it if your interested. 73's N1LRF
nice video, only complaint i have to make is i wish you would warn before setting off the alarm, really messed with my dogs ears
You have skills I can only dream.
Not a very good video. Why can't UA-camrs (hate that term) learning the basics of making a useful video?
Really a great job! The 8 volt battery in the battery box to calibrate the alarm was brilliant. I was wondering how you did that. What is the purpose of the knob just to the right of the CB radio? 73's
