In this video I explain the details of the amateur radio go kit that I built for portable use during field day, special events, and emergency deployments. The case is a Gator GRB-4U case. Everything else is custom made by myself.

    Very nice well thought out go kit that you made. Shows your experience in the hobby and with field day deployments. Thank for showing us what and how you made it and what you would change if you did it again.
  • @gordongood
    That is an incredibly tidy and well-built go-kit, David! Thanks for the video. It gave me lots of great ideas for improving my own kit (which is built into a 2U Gator case, incidentally).
  • @wushock92
    Fabulous kit and a stellar presentation. Well done, sir.
  • @RookieLock
    Wow, thats one of the nicest go kits I've seen ! Very clean and well thought out.. Thanks for the inspiration buddy !
  • Have been thinking of building mine for a while, and was encouraged by your tidy setup to get started. 73!
  • That is absolutely beautiful .. my first thought was how nice that would look placed near the interior navigation station area on a larger sailboat. Cheers .....

    Very nice set up Dave! I am wanting to start a go kit build soon. Thanks for the informational video. 73, Bob

    Exceptional! Thanks for sharing your approach of your second iteration to inspire thoughtful approaches in go box builds for others!

    Damn. I had no idea the HAM radio rabbit hole went this deep. I’ve been binge watching and just bought a 5w HT. This setup is next level 🙌🏼
  • Okay...now my goal is to build the 'AA1DF' go kit with my selection of radios. A humble, "I'm not worthy," to you Sir. That is an excellent kit! 73 NY2CW

    I need more of a Come & Go Kit because I’m not always able to commit. seriously, you did a great job building your go kit!
  • Freekin' awesome setup! Well done. I built two bugout boxes around 6U Gator cases. One for satellite ops (my "space station") and one for terrestrial. The heart of the satellite kit is an IC-9700, and for the terrestrial setup is an IC-7300. With the bigger radios my boxes weigh a ton! Thanks for the vid.
  • @eklevmyr
    That is a well-thought-out go kit with a very detailed explanation. Thanks for putting this out.
  • @Horse335
    Take my MONEY!! That's one of the best ones I've seen yet. Super awesome build!

    Fine job on the go box. I built one for field day several years ago and keep updating radios and ideas with it. I use magnets on the side to hold microphones while not in use. I like the antenna setup also. Solar power to maintain battery life is a must! Very nice de N4UVR
  • @MrMcGuy
    This is a particularly nice kit. I like many of the builds out there, but this one is really in line with what I'm looking to build soon. well done.

    I miss ham radio. Got my novice license when I was 13 years old back in 1986. Still remember CW and could copy and send 20 wpm. Good memories
