   Ben, I think it is a great QRP radio. If you like operating at the 5 watts
   level, this rig will work great. The price is right. Don’t forget, the
   antenna is the most important part of the station. Barry

   Carl, The more radials you put down the better the ERP. I find that with
   the two radials on this little whip, if I can hear a signal I stand a good
   chance of working them. If I see an S3 or better reading on the S meter, I
   have a great chance of working that station.

   What a nice clean and easy to set up portable set up Barry. Looks like a
   great way to go for a quick set up anywhere.

   @surefirefan The battery is hanging on the righ hand side of the rig.
   That’s what that green thing is on the right hand side. It’s a 10.8 volt at
   4.2 amp sub C cell battery pack.

    its a great radio but starting out you should get a 100w radio after you
    are good in wanna try 5 watts just put the radio on low power in if you
    don’t like it go back to 100 watts its better to not be bound by 5 watts
    because a 100 watts can become 5 watts in go back to 100watts 73, dan
