This $19 Cable Completely Changed My Ham Radio Field Kit…

In this video, I show how a USB-C to DC PD trigger cable (adjustable 5 V/9 V/12 V/15 V/20 V) with 7 interchangeable tips can be a game-changer for ham radio field operations. Whether you’re powering a portable HF/VHF/UHF radio, a field tuner, a mobile rig, or other DC-powered gear, this compact trigger cable adds incredible flexibility to your portable power setup. 🔌 What I cover: • How the PD trigger cable works with a USB-C PD power bank or USB PD wall charger • Switching between different output voltages (5 V up to 20 V) depending on your radio’s power requirements • Using the 7 included DC connector tips to support a wide variety of radio gear (e.g., 5.5×2.5 mm, 4.0×1.7 mm, etc.) • Real-world field test: powering a ham rig, transceiver, or portable radio during SOTA / POTA / field-day style operations • Safety considerations: monitoring with the LED voltage display, ensuring your power source supports the required PD profile • Tips for compact and efficient power setups in the field (reducing weight, cables, and power bricks) 📡 Why this is valuable for ham radio: • Reduces the number of bulky DC power supplies you need to carry • Lets you use modern USB-C power banks (even high-capacity ones) to power radios that normally require fixed DC voltages • Great for portable operations, emergency comms, camping, or any off-grid ham setup • Helps you build a more modular and lightweight field radio power solution 🔹My Favorite Gear - https://www.amazon.com/shop/km4ack 🔹Links mentioned in the video Anker 737 Battery Bank - https://amzn.to/48dTgqy USB-C Device https://amzn.to/48DtGMM 🔹Raspberry Pi Build Guide - http://tiny.cc/pi4guide 🔹Frequently Asked Questions - http://tiny.cc/km4ack-faq 🔹Weekly Newsletter - https://mailchi.mp/40da1fe472e3/km4ac... 🔹Follow Me Twitter @km4ack 🔹FREE Get Started Guide - http://tiny.cc/getstartedguide 🔹Cool Ham Gear - http://km4ack.com 🔹Support the channel through Patreon -   / km4ack   🔹Did you just get a raspberry pi and want to hook it up to your radio?
