FYI, HDMI does not support charging, but for devices with 1 usb C port shared for both charging and USB video output (namely the Nintendo switch), this lets you charge the device and stream video from it at the same time. I mean technically HDMI *can* provide power to a device but it's a very little amount of power designed for active cables and typically comes from the display device iirc. Great vid! Bought the trigger cable and will be looking into a power brick.
Thank you for the great video. You gave me a couple of ideas so I placed my order for the brick and cord. I appreciate all you do. Have a great day 73.
Have you noticed any RFI showing up on the HF bands with it. Most of these are all switching power supplies and even though they could meet FCC class B they can still show up on the HF bands.
I love USBC PD, use a pd trigger cable for approx 2 years now to charge my Yaesu HT with 12V on trips. So I only need to carry my phone charger (what I do anyhow) and let the bulky Yaesu Charger at home 🙂 - Also USB PD Powerbanks are nice to supply my truSDX on the road
Nice, I bought one that looks the same but different brand... no hdmi. 2x PD USB-C and 2x USB-A QC4 I believe. One USB-C is PD 100w for my laptop, and I love it. 👍🤠
@@temporarilyoffline You mentioned that you've worked with EBL. If so, make that recommendation. It looks like it would take up 2x the amount of space with the attached cord.
Yes, that 857D is going to consume massive amounts of power - the Yaesu is a "mobile" rig, not a "portable" rig, so it was designed to run off your car's 100a alternator. (the 857d would probably just power off if you keyed up, no smoke... but still wouldn't work for you with that radio)
Great idea ! I cannot find that EBL Multiple Charging station online - not even on the official EBL website. Any clues ? Amazon doesn't seem to have it in USA, UK or Germany
When considering a power supply for ham radio, the first question in my mind is how nosy or quiet it is; does it generate RFI? It would have been helpful to see the waterfall display on your radio both with and without this power supply plugged into the AC mains.
I haven't had any RFI problems with it in the past month of having it continuously powered on. I didn't think about it in the review because it didn't come up. In hindsight, I can see how it would have been nice to no directly.
The hdmi power source is what blows the dvi-d port on the latest Yaesu rigs (719, etc) when a dvi to hdmi cable that ALLOWS the hdmi power to scoot back to the dvi-d end. They made converter cables with the hdmi power return disabled.
I'm guessing DVI-D has a power rail also, and it should have been "no connect" inside the radio. Like they never thought customers would get a cheap adapter to plug into the most widely standard display connection (HDMI)..
Btw, if you’ve not seen the LICITTI ready-for-battery box with 1,000w psw inverter, check it out. $168 from US warehouse. I’ve powered a portable station with 7300 driving an ALS500M amp @ 300+ watts for hours…using the Pup 100aH lifepo4 battery that Ape reviewed. I now have two LICITTI battery boxes…
Be mindful the PD spec no longer supports 12V. Most newer power adapters or battery banks, including Anker, will not give you 12V on a trigger cable. Instead it will give you 9V which may damage sensitive equipment requiring 12V. So shop carefully and make sure your PD source still supports 12V output.
Is this smart enough to provide 12 volts for the X6100 while simultaneously charging your cell phone etc. in other words can it provide two different voltages at once? I would hate to push 12 volts into my cell phone.
It should be, that's the USB-C standard and if not, fallback to USB-A which should never provide >5V... but for two devices that are that expensive, a cheap USB power analyzer is good insurance. This is the one I use: amzn.to/48ZHI9N

I found I could power a Raspberry Pi from its HDMI socket when I removed the power from the PI and it stayed on!
@@paulsengupta971 yep, 5v is 5v, most devices don't care where it comes from.
For me, my travel setup is my KX2 go bag with a 14v wall wort. I bought the internal charger so a cheap 14 volt supply from Amazon does the thing!
Good call!

on the HF bands.
I have used it for a few weeks continuous and I haven't noticed any RFI on the bands - 10m, 20m, 40m were fine.

It's a great "compromise" for travel

100w should get you 20w HF output!
Give me 12 volts. O.k. lol
Steve your too funny and I always learn something. Much thanks,

Hey man, I took 12v ham radio and have wrapped my life around it in the Travel Trailer w/12v everywhere!
They need to make the power cord detachable. Nothing proprietary, just a standard PC power cord.
Yeah, that's a great idea!

Done! @@gregorysmith3097
Looks like a nice charger, is it RF quiet?
Sure is!
Great video man, thank you for being awesome!
No, you're awesome!
Lolz!
I like it. Do you think it would smoke if I powered my 857D with it? Thanks for the video.

All my Anker products don't provide 12v. Always have to be checking the specs!
great to have. 65W USB C is great. would only let my IC 7300 receive only. takes about .9 to 1.1 amp. like that small ! 73's
Yep, definitely RX only on anything >10watts of power
How's the RFI on this SMPS? I'd like to see a good old AM radio placed near it when charging and under load. 73 OM
I've been charging my BT headset and cellphones with this thing for a few weeks while operating HF and haven't seen anything yet.
Looks like some handy gear!
I just saw there was a 100w version and now I want to know if it will power a G90 at 20w.
@@temporarilyoffline I just saw it on Amazon. That might be sweet!
Like it. Woud be good for my battery/solar charger if i needed more usb than i have.
If you have a battery I'd recommend using DC to DC connections, this would require DC->AC->DC which is going to consume battery.

@@temporarilyoffline Thanks Steve. I'll add this to my purchase list
Excellent, let me know what you find out! @@w4mkh
I just ordered it. I'll test as I already have a PD battery pack.
Would this work with the G90 at the 20 watt level? Or is this strictly a charger.
Not at 20w, no. This is 65w and you'd want a minimum of 100w out of the power supply to produce the 8amps the G90 consumes producing its 20w output.
it’s a way of being that looking strange Sériously, why such intensity ?
What are you talking about?
I wonder if I could wire this to work with my trusdx.
I think you could!
RF Noise?
I haven't seen any yet, its been on continuous for the past few weeks charging devices around here while I've been operating.
