I would go further. Anything that needs a PSU and wall socket to run is disqualified as a survival tool from the outset.

Personally my gear is selected to be highly portable and can run off multple power sources, and attach to various external antennas.

OK but for now its OK to run a rig via a PSU from the mains, but I think we aught to be looking at recarging from a PV system post TSHTF, but thats fort another day.
