I decided to build a portapack, portable CB setup, in a bag... ready to use.
I'm using an old CRT multimode radio which I have built a plastic casing for.
This fits into a EDC bag. I have a battery pack built in and two seperate antenna sockets, one at the front and one at the rear.
A simple build, not the neatest but its effective and works well.
This video covers the building of the kit..... A video of the testing is soon to follow.

I’d love a portapack cb. I keep looking on ebay for a decent second hand one. I think people tend not to sell them though. Must be a popular radio

@Smiley-de4ni 8 месяцев назад

@@Shack-time there highly collectible now as you most probably already know

Cool little portapack cb, might there be space behind the radio for the battery pack?

@Shack-time 10 месяцев назад

Yes defiantly there is. I am thinking about putting it there, my thought process was that using the top pocket makes it easier to unplug the battery pack to plug in either car 12v adapter or change the battery. But saying that, it’s easy to take the radio out of the bag to change the battery if I need to. Placing the battery in the radio is most likely going to happen 👍

How's the SWR? Do you have a ground (counterpois) for the antenna?

@shep6123 9 месяцев назад

I’d like to see how you done the antenna I like that did you have a tea for the antenna three can use the back or the front

@Shack-time 8 месяцев назад

Hi. I just used a pl259 splitter and have both sockets connected to the same pl259 going in to the radio. I was unsure how this would effect the SWR, but it was hardly noticable.
