Description
This portable base station is set up for the Heltec v4 with a PCB antenna, the housing will take a stubby antenna as well. The battery housing is a separate module that snap fits to the pivoting head assembly. The battery compartment has space for three 18650 batterries, although the Heltec will only charge one and only one should be wired up there is space for two spares that can be swapped out if charging is not available. Independent angle on the screen and antenna are available to accommodate being on flat or angled surfaces or upright while keeping the antenna vertical. Remodeling the antenna cap is easy and can accommodate larger antennas to your spec. The battery housing can be swapped out as well, the collar that attaches to the pivot is just a tight fit rectangular collar. Wires can be passed through for a solar panel and I intend to release a solar back panel soon.
