Hi Rick and gang,
The MFJ-9420 works exceptionally well. I've worked a ton of DX with it
since March 97, mostly portable. Rig needs about 2 amps on transmit, per
manual. I use a 7 ahr gel cell which may be a bit on the heavy side for
backpacking for you.
I get a kick out of receiving 59 reports (real reports, I ask) from DX.
They then tell me about their stations; large yagi beam up 25 meters, 600
watts, etc. They almost don't believe me when I tell them I'm about 5 or
so watts avg pwr out into an inverted-vee up about 45-50' or so, powered by
a gel cell battery.
