![]() The unit will also have a battery in the box to provide power for itself independent of any other power source. I chose the “mobile” aspect to provide for as much transmitting power as reasonable, given the field portability aspect. The Go Box has to be a completely self-contained unit that enables a person to use a mobile Ham radio without external power. But I wanted this box to be geared towards the “grid-down” and field-going missions. That threw me into coming up with a very small self-contained, stand-alone Go Box. But either way, my Go Box had to be stand alone. And they have somewhat different operating environments. One mission was the “emergency preparedness response” and the other was more along the lines of “grid-down” or field-going type of missions. As I went through that process it became clear to me that I had two distinct missions for Ham radio operations. So I went back to the basics of a Power Box…supply power to a Radio Go Box solution in that build. The Power Box was to provide battery-based power in the event the AC power went out. I decided to build this really cool solar rechargeable battery powered Portable Power Box.
