Sorry for replying in multiple emails as thoughts come to me. The xiegu g90 is good if you want to run off battery or a small power supply. It's 20watts out so helps if you are doing SSB. I wouldn't

Adding to what others said, I recommend the 7300 as a great starter base radio. However I wouldn't really consider it a portable. Rack mounted in a go box or tailgating yes. If you want to carry it
