Which company did you buy the panel from ? and what would be the best way you think to cut out the panel face ? That a look at the Strong Box made by QuickCable for the 12 volt or 6 volt battery box ,Made very well and well last. I really injoy all your video and your web site.with the weather links.

Thanks,rack panel from Digikey, a good jig saw and patience to cut the panel to size (make a 1/4 thick template of cheap wood material first), Im working on fabricating a newer design that hopefully will be available in kit or finished form for those who want GO kit ready to roll. Aloha Rick

In response to a gentleman who asked how much the kit cost? roughly about $500 including the radio, more time then money is involved making the panel face how you want to see it laid out then anything else in the kit. Aloha

Nicely assembled OM, I would like to see our world governments pay to have such kits available for Emergency Comms.

BUT since many do not understand our volunteer service, it is an uphill challenge.

Im thinking more and more on making a generic production model for Hams and First Responders where you already have a mobile radio and just buy the Kit less the radio.

Great job. Awesome work. I think I'll try the same except go with an AC to 12-15DC battery charger and a 12V drycell battery.

Nice neat setup! 73

This is a flawless setup with the same exact radio im savin' my nickels for, However aren't most amatuar emergency crews using HF? But even then this has hundreds of great uses including weather reporting, tailgating, and camping.

Excellent set up! Is it possible to create the same thing ONLY using police band scanners instead of Ham Radio? Furthermore, where can I purchase a box like what your setup is in? Thanks and GREAT VIDEO!!
