/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I posted a bit in the end of the other thread.
The anon advising me was correct, there's too much there. It's too heavy. I want to do POTA/SOTA but don't want to sacrifice personal safety and radio protection.
The radio is nice, my base is a ic-7300. I swapped out the power connection and did the MARs mod in about an hour. Hell of a radio for $600 during the black friday sale.

1000%. If I still drove, I'd use the separation kit and be off to the races.

I found an old camping bag. It's starting to get heavy, still waiting for the FT-891.

I guess the rest of my effort will be to refine and reduce weight.
Maybe I'll reduce the battery. I'd like to put the FT891 in a harbor freight case for protection.
