My portable station consists of an Elecraft K-2 and its antenna tuner and a laptop PC. The K-2 and its tuner fit into a padded six-pack cooler bag. Another such bag holds the power supply, PC to soundcard interface box, key, microphone, and headphones. So that's 3 packages for the whole thing. The only time I have given demos was at places where no real antenna was available, so I used a piece of wire and gave a receiving-only demo.
A good thing to do at a demo for hams is to play the sounds of the various digital modes so they will have some idea what they are hearing when they hear these things. Need a Digital mode QSO?
