@hamchallenge HC36S Operate your station from battery power for a day. GoalZero Escape150 powered my IC-705 station for the day. Not a lot of transmitting (busy with other things), but battery still more than half-full after 10 hours. Will use solar panels to recharge pack later (or tomorrow). This is a smaller/older lead acid system that travels well and no-worries if damaged or dies (again). Mod adding power poles was a good decision. Enables portable fun!
