Summary

The box can run off of an external 12v supply, internal battery or AC power. Automated switching between AC power and battery is included. All parts are individually fused & switched. Antenna/CAT Control/Audio cables are in the small green camo bag that lives inside the box. Additionally, I can bring an EdFong Roll-Up Jpole antenna if needed. HF antenna is a homebrew'ed 80-10 EFHW. Looking to add a 300w inverter soon but I haven't made up my mind yet, might just run that externally.
