Ultimate battery case for (tr)uSDX-》a real SSB handheld now 😉

- I build a battery case based on 14500 cells.
It is good enough for 4-5h TX, about 1 day portable operation.
Now I have my military style SSB handheld 😉

I sell this complete kits if you want.
(15€+ shipping only the add on battery case without cells)
Requests from group buy managers or resellers welcome.

I run a lot of green/camo stuff but bright orange is handy when you drop something in the woods
Hi David I like your battery case and the spacer for the antenna socket this gives the socket more strength. Well Done
I love portable field operations, QRP is a passion. I have a number of radios (kits) which perform amazing. What you’ve demonstrated is a refinement and excellent radio. Great video!
That's really sweet, David. Make the (tr)uSDX into a handie-talkie for sure. And I like the military green color too. Next I'll have to get my 3d printer friends to crank out a nice green case & battery box for mine ;-) All we need now is a tack-on auto ATU and we'll have something better than the X5105 or the X6100 (which, from the looks of things, won't be that hard to do ;-) ) 73 de W8IJN
Clean workmanship
Well done! Good innovation and a nice practical solution. The provision for the USB is a nice touch.

Great minds think alike 😂. I'm planning something very similar. I want to make a whole new back shell so that the case is extended on the side of the DC (run the DC supply cable inside the new back shell) in to make it a bit tidier and to incorporate an internal SMA to SO239 pigtail chassis socket (because all my antenna connectors are that flavour). And, naturally, have EA5HQ embossed 😂. I'm also considering incorporating a Lidl Parkside lithium tool battery socket - for a week's operating on a single charge 😂. It will probably end up bigger that my IC-705 😅
Good idea to work long but the battery will be 3 times bigger than the trx 😉
Outstanding 👍
Thank you
Great idea. Looks fantastic!
Apologies for asking for additional information. How do you secure the little board and usb connector to the case? I do not think the connected wires would hold it either in place.
Which way round is the internal USB connector wired up? There is no stable location for it. I will have to do a lot of work to mount it stably, and engineer an extension for the PTT connector.
Very nice and precision work. I've put off doing any 3D printing, but I think I'll be doing it yet this year. So much to replace or fabricate. Thank you.

very cool! just received mine today!
Great video, thank you for your contribution to our hobby :)
Well done

Very nicely done! What filament are you using David? What are your printer settings?
Petg setting are individual
Great work 👍👍
How do we order a battery case for the (tr)usdx from QRP Lifestyle Thanks VE3 VWG
Just email me it is 19€+ shipping
nice
the future is now old man :)
I need this. very very nice.
Just got the whole set from Andrei & his crew! Great stuff! Thanks to you for dreaming this up & to Andrei & his friends for such a quality product! 73 de W8IJN
That's so cool!! But why do you write Audio and Mic/Key on the box??
It is standard on this case
Well done !
Hey David, for the 14500 batteries do you recomend protected or unprotected cells?
With protection
Hello David, this is Eduardo/w5egm. Is your battery case available for download? I’m interested on making one for my recently bought (tr)uSDX from a Chinese supplier…
How will you ensure the 14500 cells don't drop below their safe voltage (3v/cell)? Typically this job is done with a BMS.
Just check the voltage on the screen
Hi, did you publish stl files for diy prints or only selling your own prints? 73
Is the FM usable on this usdr/usdx radios? I am mostly interested in portable radio for 11 & 10 meter FM. Can you maybe make a future video demonstrating the FM mod on this small portable radios. Thank you.
It is only from 80-20
Just wait for that 40 meter portable Yagi
😄😄
Nice. What is the total weight with this module(plus batteries)?
+-350g
Könntest Du mir bitte vom Spacer (Clip 04:50) die .stl Daten zum Nachdrucken zukommen lassen?
Busque mucho esa expansion para el uSDX y no lo encontre, seria tan amable de poder facilitarme la direccion de dichos STL? se lo agradeceria muchisimo, un saludo de Alberto EA1HWA
Great project👍 it sure turned out nice❗️ 73. KV5P
Great project. It 's just a pity that the power is not constant . 4 watts is good, but 2.5 is not enough. I think you can finish this design by equalizing the power
Finetuning the filter is a solution
@@QRP.lifestyle This indicates a flaw and needs to be corrected. Losing half the power is not reasonable
@@eugene-anthony4823 please note that I am using 3 cells. With 4 cells 5-6w each band. But I do not need more than 2W. Trust me it works great :)
I really respect your interest. I love QRP myself. In this case , I touched on the imperfection of the setting . We must strive for the best.)@@QRP.lifestyle
Nice 1
what size is the jack power
why should you insert the micro usb?
For making digi modes
For those of us who'd like to run 18650 cells and wouldn't mind the size difference. Would you sell the 18650 version?
Yes. The more the current capacity, the more power output it will transmit
Super 👍🏻👏🏻
Hello David. Very nice idea. I like it!🤩 73 de Javier EA3GCY
Hallo ,mein beste 73s QRO
Excellent! When looking to buy the 14500 3.7V batteries there seem to be a lot of variations in mAH quoted, 800 - 2800, which makes me suspicious about their quality and reliability - especially for use in a project of this nature.
Does anyone have recommendations for makes 14500 3.7V that are best suited for this project?
De John G8MWF
I just bought some from ebay they have about 1200 in real, colour is blue
I tried to contact you but the email didn’t work. I would like to purchase one. Thanks
My email works....?
I am intereted in buying one, how can I do?
Just mail me (you can find it on qrz)
Very nice! Will you be posting the stl file on Thingiverse?
Later
👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻
How May I order a battery box from you? How do I contact you.

Really loud echos. You might like to avoid the echos in the future.
True! I got a new microphone
nope. needs vertical (portrait) display mode.
is the stl file available?
Trouble is 14500 is not rechargeable
cant hear you with the echo. you need better mic. and redo this video.
180 euro per quella merda. AHAHAHAHAAHAH 😂😂😂
