That is an impressive amount of equipment organized and packed in there!
Don't call that charger lamp station stupid - that's genius level!
you did well getting all the things you want in that small case. well put together kit and great informative video...
Very Nice Setup! All I need is a little dog to go along with the setup too! ;)
Looks like a nice kit 👍
Nice setup I am working on mine also
You need a bit bigger of a go box so the pup can fit in too!
Excuse me, where can i get the puppy?
Good video Adam. I love my IC-7000, vintage 2005. It's my POTA back-up (IC-7300 is primary). Question on that 10Ah battery - how much time do you get out of it during a typical SSB POTA or portable ops adventure? I use a Jackery 240 (17Ah) with 100 watt panel but also just bought a Bioenno 15Ah. Wondering how long that 12Ah battery will last without solar. 73 KJ6ER
I don't typically operate for longer than about 1-2 hours, so I haven't had an issue, but I definitely listen more than talk. When I transmit I'm typically running it full power too due to using EFHWs just so I have a fighting chance of making a contact, and the battery has no issue with the current draw. I think maybe one time I approached 3 hours on a contest day, and with lots of calling CQ the voltage did start to drop a bit. My tiny solar panel doesn't put out much power, but it's great for topping off the battery after light use. I usually just use a plug-in charger though.
