Inspired by The Expendable's great thread on aluminum conductivity as it relates to EMP's (http://www.shtfready.com/equipment-basic-supplies/my-faraday-cage-test-1192.html ), I decided to make a shielding for the radios I just bought.
I guess this is more of a Farady Box than a cage. My foil isn't as nice as Expendable's either. I think he paid one of those elves that wrap presents at the mall to do his......anyway............
Box, Aluminum foil, aluminum tape, and seat foam I bought at Wally world.
This box holds 3 of my Motorola Saber 2 radios, 3 antennas, and 3 batteries.
I'm going to make another box for the other 3 Sabers and then one more for the Radius Radios. (Thread Here: http://www.shtfready.com/communications/heres-my-new-com-setup-1180.html )
