The 817 and better still the G90 will happily run off a 12v gel battery, the G90 is full SDR, has an ATU that will tune a damp lettuce leaf and can be used i...

Is CB radio an option? CB is a joke really, best to go off and get your Foundation License. I like 'QRP', using the least power to transmit the farthest. I use a Yaesu FT817ND, its small, low powered but with a good antenna I've worked all over the world...the antenna is the vital link in the chain...
