Description

This has been in the works for a long time.  This is my second Watertight Meshtastic Radio enclosure.  It's about two and a half times the size of the previous one and very similar in size to a Baofeng radio.  Current battery design is twin 18650s, which is an insane amount of runtime and good for pretty nearly any hike.  Coming soon, I'm hoping to have a charging station for the battery packs but for the time being, they'll need to be charged through the radio.

 Primary features are:

 - Display port

 - Display cycle button
 - USB Charging and On/Off switch accessible from the exterior
 - Removeable battery pack
 - Watertight (Don't swim with it but, you can hike in the rain if you're weird like that.)
 - Dual external antennas if desired.
 - Multiple battery pack sizes and included files for you to adjust sizes yourself if desired.

UPDATE 1/10/25
- Charger Station has been added.  Designed to work with the AuxArc-One battery case cap, using the TP4056 charging board.  Now your AuxArc-One loose batteries can be charged without needing to be plugged into the radio.  Assembly is detailed in the attached updated manual.

- New battery sleeve.  Will hold (2) 2000MAH flat pack style batteries inside the shorter battery case.  


 There's a lot of components required to make this work.  I've written a detailed manual, as pictured in the photos above, and I've also done this video to try and walk you through the radio portion.
