Ever wondered if those new USB-C PPS & Power Delivery gadgets can actually power your ham radio gear? In this video, I unbox and test a pile of weird but useful PPS/PD-powered devices — from power banks to magnetic chargers — and see how they hold up for phones, QRP radios, and portable setups.

• Why ham radio ops should care about PPS/PD gear
