HAMPwr+ — USB-C PD to 14.8 V Converter

HAMPwr+ lets you power or charge your QRP and mobile ham rigs directly from a USB-C PD power bank or charger. Use the same reliable source you trust for laptops and tablets — now for your ham gear. An integrated voltage lock LED confirms that a stable 14.8 V output is engaged, giving you confidence and convenience in the field or shack.

Specs at a Glance

Parameter Specification
Output Voltage 14.8 V (locked once PD contract is established)
PD Profile Request 15 V via USB-C PD (CH224K controller)
Source Requirement Use a PD source that meets your rig’s current needs (typ. ≥ 3 A @ 15 V recommended)
Status Indication Lock LED confirms successful 14.8 V negotiation
Noise Suppression LC filtering for common-mode & differential-mode noise
Use Case Field / mobile operation for rigs expecting ~14 V bus
Compatibility IC-705, FT-817/818, LAB599 TX-500, and similar rigs within 14 V spec

Select a PD source with sufficient current headroom for TX peaks. If unsure, choose a higher-power PD brick or bank.

Function

Communicates with USB-C PD power banks or chargers to request a dedicated 15 V profile. The lock LED confirms negotiation and delivery, ensuring reliable 14.8 V output before power reaches your rig.

Science

Powered by the CH224K PD controller, HAMPwr+ establishes a compliant 15 V contract and regulates to 14.8 V. Input power is filtered by carefully designed capacitor/inductor networks, removing both common-mode and differential-mode noise. This ensures clean, stable DC reaches your transceiver.

Compatible / Tested QRP Rigs

  • ICOM IC-705
  • Yaesu FT-818 / FT-817
  • LAB599 Discovery TX-500
  • …and many other rigs within a 14 V nominal bus

Mini-FAQ

  • What voltage does it output? — A stable 14.8 V after PD lock.
  • Which power sources are compatible? — Any USB-C PD charger or power bank that can supply the current your rig requires (typ. ≥ 3 A @ 15 V).
  • Can it run my QRP rig? — Yes. Tested with IC-705, FT-818/817, TX-500 and similar rigs.
  • How do I know it’s active? — The lock LED lights up when the PD handshake succeeds.
  • Does it filter noise? — Yes. Common-mode & differential-mode filtering deliver clean DC.
  • Can I charge and operate? — Yes. You can power and charge your rig at the same time.
