Here is a rundown of mine:

Laptop (obviously)

PC Repair kit (Few Screw Drivers & things)

Networking kit (Cable Tester, Wire stripper, Crimper, Caps, you get the idea)

Few extra ethernet cables

Patch over cable adapter

extra NICs

Couple of USB cables

I think that's everything, so what do you have?

Amongst other things I've got a SANS mouse map that has the structure of IP, UDP and ICMP packets on it. Don't know why it is in there because I haven't got a mouse for the laptop but it is.

Gah, GPS. You shouldn't be using US military owned systems. Also, would you happen to have a map in there as well?

You can easily get a dc-ac inverter from online or radio shack. I have a 350 watt inverter but a laptop charger is only about 90 watts. So all you have to do is configure a solar panel array to give you 12v and then plug the laptop charger into the inverter.

The only problem you might have is to get a good solar panel. you can buy one or build your own depending on your needs/money.

good luck

..., IC-E90, IC-E92ED for dstar, Yaesu FT-897D, selection of antennas and wire for other frequencies, Tektronix H600 10 kHz to 6.2 GHz spectrum analyzer, TNC, ...

I know this is an old thread and all, but., you lug these along with you?

why not a FT 857, a mini buddipole and a vx8r with the GPS antenna for the APRS. Save yourself a few lbs in the process.

Well I like d-star and the club I belong to has a repeater, the Yaesu has a Yaesu FC 30 Automatic tuner bolted on to the side which is very useful and a good battery option for mobile use away from the car. The IC-E90 is modded to allow for a wider tx and very, very small so fits in my pocket, I almost use it like normal people use a mobile phone. None of that stuff is used for APRS, I have a kenwood with a built in TNC (Kenwood TM-D710E and AvMap Geosat 5 unit) in my car for that. The TNC I have tends to be used for radio BBS and other data/digital related things.

Most importantly I bought those bit by bit based on features and feed back from much older amateur radio people that have far more experience than me and I have learned a lot from. At the point of buying my last radio the VX8R was not on sale and was known to be buggy which was why it was held back. I know Kenwood have another HT coming out with a built in TNC so I'll most likly get that over a VX8R as I've heard some mixed feedback on it and Kenwood make a fine HT.

The nice thing about using wire as an antenna, is you find the closest/tallest tree, tape a tennis ball to the end and shoot it over the top with a potato cannon or throw it and you have a great mobile antenna. Also you can't beat an arrow antenna for hitting the international space station or a satellite when you are on the move.
