Ok, wanting to do a mobile man pack set up. Thinking a small mobile unit, power source, an antenna, and obviously a bag. Curious if anyone else has done this, and if so their set up? I will be doing this with a GMRS radio at first. Probably a 20 watt. |

-TYT 9800d Or used Yeasu ft-8900r if you can find one. This way you get cross band repeat & 50watts have it MARS modded & you get ham,GMRS,FRS,MURS - roll up J-pole Ed fong makes a good small one - armoloq rails - 6-10ah Lifepo4 This pouch Add a 6x6 admin pouch to the front to hold the battery |

If you're wanting a full backpack setup, I'd look at the Eberlestock Romad. I've had one on backorder for awhile, but they are in stock now. What kind of battery and antenna? And definitely not a full back pack kit. Looking more for a unit i can toss in and out of my daily driver but also toss into a bigger pack or molle onto it or something. Not looking for a big set up |
