@mcdanlj Another thing to consider is you'll want to pay some mind to station grounding, which is not the same (but interfaces with) the electrical safety ground. Unless you use a _really_ nasty supply, grounding issues can overpower any supply noise easily.(but also don't sweat it _too_ much, there's a lot of scare stories about radio grounding, and a really good station needs to worry about it... but modern equipment is very good and quite forgiving compared to what ham authors learned on)

@mcdanlj Yup, it's definitely transportable in that sense, easily so! Re: batteries, take care as to how many instantaneous amps they can provide too, at full transmit power it's quite a lot. But of course you can turn the transmit power down if needed, if you run 10W to match the IC-705 you get very extended runtime indeed.
