The Shargeek battery pack link went to a page not found message at Amazon.

You mentioned items in Josh's list will be added to the show notes. Curious what is he recommending.

Thanks

One of the comments in the podcast talked about how some cheaper USB-C products don’t have the built in logic to communicate/command power needs to a PD charger. Has anyone used trigger boards with a PD device for either charging or even powering a QRP rig?

By the way, love the podcast. I have an 1:20 commute early in the morning 2x a week. Thanks for being part of it. :)

Hi Jason. We are glad you like the podcast ! Thanks for listening.
I have used them to charge HT's but not QRP radios. Give it a try. Just make sure you can pull enough current. Only challenge is that PD has a fixed set of possible voltages so your radio needs to match one of the voltages.
