This is a top view of the go-frame sitting next to my battery pack. As you can see, there is easy access to the Signalink and the Winkeyer controls. The handles at the top with grip tape make it quite easy to carry with one hand.
The battery pack consists of a Bioenno 20 amp hour LiFePO4 battery and a Genasun 10 amp charge controller. The black connector on the right side of the battery pack is for a solar panel, of which I have a couple that I can use. The largest being 100 watts.
Go Box Operation
Here I am using my go-frame during one of my activations from inside my Jeep. The go-frame is to the right. The iPad is connected to the Raspberry Pi computer’s WiFi hotspot and then using the VNC application I am running FT8 on the Raspberry Pi computer.
I am pleased with how this project turned out. I use this go-frame as my main HF station at home. Its always ready to go in a moments notice.

Some really useful ideas in here. Thanks. I’m stuffing mine in a Pelican-type IP75 enclosure. 73’s de AD6AE
Thanks! There are so many ways to make a go box. I have seen a lot of Pelican-type go boxes, and hey all look great. I’m sure yours will work out as well.
