“I’ve spent a lot of time over the years looking at the designs of ham radio go boxes amateur
radio operators have created. Â They invariably include some ideas and design concepts that I hadn’t considered or that are excellent concepts for their use in real world and emergency situations.
The size of a go box varies based on the application when and where it will be used. Â Everyone building kits will probably find that eventually they will build several based on its intended application. Â They are small kit to grab and go that is used in daily activities and a more robust kit that can serve as control point for emergencies, club activities and other similar applications.
After looking at a myriad of designs, the single best go box design I’ve found was created by Robert, KC6TYD. Â He has found several solutions to issues that I’ve encountered involving the case and ease of access to the back of the components.”
This project took a while but it’s finally done. My GoBox consist of a Gator Case which incorporates a 19″ rack system which will hold my Yaesu FT-857 and FT-8800 along with some other associated equipment. Check it out.
