I alternate between the FT818 and the KX1 with a 4.5 ah LiFePo and usually bring 20m and 17m hamsticks with linked ground wires.

Just finished building the tr uSDX today looking forward to getting out on a summit when the knee is healed. It was powered by an emergency light that has a USB charge port 5v output to the TX and depending on the band .1 to .3w, just need to source a DC connector for it.
Managed to chase a few SOTA stations today CW on the 20/40m bands rather surprised I made the trip.

Hello Graeme @M0OAT.

Today I was also on the road with my truSDX near Freiburg in southern Germany.

I like the black case on yours.

All the best to you and hope you can be on the road again soon :+1:

Hook Mountain, NY last month (W2/GC-055)

I’ve been rotating between the SW3B and MTR4BV2
using a 9v Bioenno (@3W out) and a 10/20/40 End-Fed with a simple 36’’ feedline. Remarkable QSO was with a Swedish Station.
