Building YOUR Ultimate Portable Amateur Radio Setup
Trying to figure out what you need for a portable amateur radio setup for POTA, SOTA or just operating in the field - even you backyard? Here is an overview of the equipment you'll need to set up YOUR ultimate portable radio kit. I'll cover radios coax, antenna, power source and needed accessories. The intent here is to start you thinking about how you want to set up your own outdoor amateur radio kit. Remember that these kits are ever evolving. You build them to suit your needs and field operating goals and fun. They can also support emergency and off-grid communications as you never know when your amateur radio skills will be needed.
