Military-Style Radio Manpacks for Civilians - Part I

you getting two small metal frames for almost 200 bucks they are ripping people off

armor lock way to expensive for what yoir getting

Thank you!!!

My first man-pack radio in the military was an AN/PRC-47. HF/AM/SSB. It was like a 5 gal. Jerry can on a ruck frame. It was a real boat anchor! Very happy when the AN/PRC-104 replaced it.

These bags are like cute little oven bags for cooking your radio. Why would we want to overheat our radios?

Positive comments aye.. Let me be the first to leave a negative comment then. "Negative Comment!" 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣

Hi what is that for an gadget on the right shoulder strap hinder the heandheald radio?

Are there any cheaper batteries that are still trustworthy that work with the FTM-6000R?

Something like this would be wonderful for my local FD. We have a bunch of radio/cell/both deadzones down our no-outlet road, so having someone up on one of the hills with a manpack where our trucks can't get to to relay back to county would be awesome.

I wonder if mobile radio plus lipo4 100ah battery can mod to manpack..

Do you unplug the battery when your radio is off, or do you only unplug it when you need to charge it

Hey tech prepper!!!! I know this is an older video, but I've been having difficulties finding a pouch for a 2730a. I want to finish my manpack build, I just cannot find a proper pack. Would you be able to steer me towards a good pouch???!? I absolutely appreciate all you do, we all do here. I've learned so damn much in the last year from your videos!! 🤘🤘

How do you fuse your manpack

98 degrees in your house?? Fix the ventilation of your house man

how do you send text messages with radio?

Great Stuff!

Do you have a power cable set up to so when you put your man pack in the mobile , it runs off vehicle battery and charges the portable battery at the same time ?

Dude I love your content, I'm working on my off grid comms but I'm just getting started.
Still studying for the tech exam , still learning soooo much and the possibilities!! Wow .

How does it hold up in rain?

This is the channel I have been searching for! I can’t wait to burn through all your content. Great stuff!🇺🇸

Is that an American MilSim shirt?! Awesome!

Dude! You look like Ronin from Green Mountain Rangers!!

Commenting for algorithm.

Having humped one of those damned things(a PRC-77) around Central America, I can't really see the attraction.

Cost with a Gmrs radio?

Maybe you could sell your pack design to a bigger manufacturer.

Super interesting. I’m a newbie GMRS guy, are these compatible? I have no plans to get a HAM license, I do have a GMRS license.

This is absolutely brilliant! Thank you!

I am beginning one of these in GMRS as a project.

@thetechprepper how much for you to build one and sell?

For your quad band Yaesu rig, what antenna are you running on your vehicle? I was looking for a quad band NMO for that radio and all I could find was the diamond UHF made specifically for it. I'm a new but I read some comments that UHF was inferior to NMO. I'm curious to hear what your opinion. Thanks so much for your all your videos.

Just found your channel and very intrigued. looking to build a pack now

Love your overall philosophy, but having backpacked using lightweight and ultralight loadouts, I don't see myself ever carrying equipment that is moderately heavy.

You have a new follower!!! I’m getting into Ham radio ! I live in a apartment with no balcony will make adding a attenna quit difficult. Also I don’t have a ham shack… so building a man pack that can service my needs no matter where I am at is great.!!

I ordered the anytone at-788uv and going to build a man pack around this for urban SHTF .. if you have made one can you direct me to the video? Or do a video of that

Do you make packs for people?

Great video !!!! Nailed it !!!!

I'm a noob, and getting ready to build a Manpack/Gobox, and was wondering if the heatsink would be effected by the air tight enclosure, and not properly cool the unit?

The wattage you're talking about there was making me grimace, you shouldn't be having any more than 5wattstransmit near your head, having 20 watts pumped out an antenna behind your skull is extremely dangerous. I just hope people realise that and don't think its only high numbers that they should be worries about.

Great info! Very simple setup. Thanks for sharing. just sub'd!

✅️👍👏👏👏

Can you give info on the relocation antenna mount/hardware? And which signal stick antenna BNC connector I will need in this configuration? MUCH THANKS AND GREAT VIDEO SERIES!

I don't understand. We have a door blocked by a couch. Another door that looks like it goes outside since it has a mat. An absolutely ginormous fridge. A floor that's either carpeted or concrete, neither of which makes sense. And the table is upholstered? And it looks like you're sitting on a super low camping chair or something? I'm so confused.

Well, I think You can use Agilite AMAP III Assault Pack for that purpose.. You can easily put 12 V 22 Ah at the front of the bag, and radio with other stuff inside the backpack. Additionally, you can combine it all with a vest. Tech Prepper very interesting project, thank you :)

If you were me that embraces tactical ham radio would you initiate your first purchase of a ham radio with an ICOM id 52a for my first radio to explore the hobby

I carried a PRC-25 in 1970, and from we were told, it was the state of the art! Of course there were larger and stronger transceivers that were vehicle mounted and well above 100 watts of power.

This is the first video I have seen of yours and certainly won't be my last. Thank you for creating videos like these.

I like how you can send text and all that with it. That will be awesome for the jeep when we go camping.

Can you make a GMRS man pack? And which GMRS radio would be good to make a man pack?

I’m learning and getting Ready for Tech exam.
Lord willing, I’ll pass 1st time. So much to learn Great Channel
