downs 1 Posted April 12, 2016 A cross band repeater unit I built for motorcycle rally and Jeep event use. This is the basic setup before I installed the wiring. Radio on the left (KGUV8D) Low cost UPS battery in the middle. This is an 8AH battery. Right is a charge controller 20 amp unit which is way overkill for this build as the radio draws very little power. Setup in my front yard with camo netting installed Broken down in "travel" configuration. You can easily cut the tripod, NMO magnet mount and 1/2 wave antenna out of the pack up and use a roll up j-pole antenna then you'd just have to carry the box and solar panel.

amgems 79 Posted April 13, 2016 Nice set-up! I hope to be licensed in a week or so. Maybe I can try it out someday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downs 1 Posted April 14, 2016 Cool...you had a real "helper" sitting on the lawn there with you... She's super curious about anything I'mdoing around the house. She sits out in the garage with me a lot. Nice set-up! I hope to be licensed in a week or so. Maybe I can try it out someday. Sure thing if I break it out for an event.
