Mmmm, careful.? At 88 watt-hours, that's barely more than 7ah at
12v, not counting internal conversion losses.? The inverter may be
able to source 100 or 300 watts, but not for long.? 300 watts from
an 88 watt-hour battery will drain it in something like 15 minutes.?
Of course the FT-817/818 draws considerably less - you'd likely get
5+ hours of use - but there's no Tardis-derived magic here.? Start
plugging other stuff in, and the run time can drop very quickly.
When looking at these "Solar generators", the important spec to look
at is the watt-hour rating of the battery.? The AC output spec is
just for the inverter; it's a limit for how much (peak) power can be
drawn, not for how long.

Martin,
Yes there a lots of power
banks that put out USB power and 12VDC power and also 120VAC
power, all in one battery box.? I have 2 with 120VAC output
along with USB and 12VDC outlets.? They come in a verity of
power levels, mine are 100 & 300W.
There are other that can
power a FT817 for hours that put out USB and 12VDC.
Here is one on Amazon.? No
tsure if you need 120 or 240VAC.
