Portable Radio Scanning Go-Kit - January 2022

My blog about my hobby of radio scanning in Tasmania.

I have recently built up this portable radio scanning go-kit. It is based on a $3.50 plastic container, I have added a divider and foam on one side.

It is low profile and provides a good level of protection.

Nice. I need to get off my arse and do something similar. I do need a dual handheld holder for my truck. The cup holders aren’t cutting it.

I was thinking along the lines of an "Ammo Case". They are very sturdy, as in nearly indestructible and waterproof. I just need to find one the right size in new condition, so I can add foam inserts and call it good to go.

That sounds like a good idea.

Thanks, you could also insert some of << THIS FOAM >> Watch the videos on how to customize it.

I tend to use ammo cans for this type of thing as well. Their size means they fit on an old bookshelf in my garage (had to re-enforce it a bit due to weight), but I have lots of electronic parts and even an air compressor in one. As you mentioned, they do need foam, otherwise your gear gets scratched up and destroyed. I know people that have made radio "go kits" with ammo cans as well. I have not gone this route as they would be a bit small for my current mobile radios.
