Aaron - I am planning to run mine as a portable.? I will be using
an external battery.? I have a couple of LiFePO4 4-cell 9 amp-hour
batteries.? One of them should be good for several hours along
with a Hamcrafters K44 keyer.? I am planning to upgrade to the
N8MM/VU3AGO software.? This will have to wait for better weather -
I can't put up an antenna at my apartment & I have no
intention of outdoor operation during a Winnipeg winter.

Since I'm still stuck in bed I have been working on a uBITX v6
basic kit. Since I'm in bed I am unable to run a power cord from
my power supply to the uBITX. So I have been using a little
battery pack made up of 8 rechargeable AA batteries. It has 12
volts for a bit but that is about it.?
I'm guessing here that the three-wire connector P1 is for an
optional battery pack.?
I'm planning to have some surgeries after the first of the year on
my back. I'm planning on being able to be active then and I want
to get back into riding my recumbent trike and operating the radio
from city parks.?
I'm interested in having an onboard battery pack for my uBITX. Has
anyone added a battery pack and if so could you please tell me how
you did it and what batteries and associated parts did you use??
Thank you
