It’s about 20-25 lbs. so you could huff it on a hike. I have a shoulder strap which would make that possible ... It’s really meant to be car portable and camp ground usable. If I need to huff a radio up into a hike / woods / extended journey I’ll take a HT and my solar panel for charging (I...

Not sure if the link is working, if it’s broken for your try this?

Late last year I decided to start building a portable radio kit. I don’t have any experience building these kinds of things, and used this site plus a few others to get some feedback / ideas. I figured I at least owed the group an update (for those interested). Purely an amateur trying to hang...

Hey there. In another thread https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/portable-power-and-radio-kit-home-build.259721/#post-740441 It was mentioned you used amped outdoors battery. I’m looking to get one , but wanted to see if you had any feedback to share on their batteries now having used one ?
