It is a three band station in a box the size of a hardback book.
The single box has its own rechargable power supply, cable to attach it to 12v power (PV etc), coil of 20m of antenna wire, built in morse code key, built in antenna tuning unit / SWR indicator and headset. cable to attach it to 12v power (PV etc).
This whole station together with a micro VHF/UHF HT fits into a waterproof plastic container within in the BOB.
This pair of radios allow me to operate locally by voice on PMR and 2m and 70cms, and pretty much country wide as well as international by morse code ( CW).
Please explain kit choice, deployment and operation in more depth if you get chance, Your info is fascinating.
