I think you would need to run all of the radio off battery power. Half the radio is in the computer. Maybe its time to look into getting a netbook/laptop. Or run your regular computer off an inverter powered by the batter. 73 - Mike WA8BXN

I actually do have a little Acer Aspire notebook PC that was my sons but I don't know how much horsepower it has and it runs XP. I may dig it out and see if I can get it to work but this was more or less a whimsical thought I had, not a serious attempt at portable or emergency operation.

Just be aware the Little and Big Honda Generators that use Inverters and say Inverter on them have a LOT of noise on the HF spectrum using the AC Cord as a Antenna. We had to build a VERY large filter to even use our 7KW and the little Honda 2000 on our Field day exercise. 73's Bret WX7Y

It isn't a sequencer. Each TX Relay line is independent and the delay is for that line. Here is how it works. When you assert PTT (key the radio) each line closes (goes to ground) immediately. If the enable a DELAY, then the transmission of RF is delayed by the amount set. If you enable

Mike, If you look at where the signal processing is performed, much more than half of the radio is the computer. In the spirit of the Field Day rules, a computer that simply does logging running off commercial power is okay, but in the case of SDR, it would be a no-no in my opinion. 73, Ray,
