You were just looking in the wrong places. My high school girlfriend was a
Ham. We used to go "mountaintopping" together 1950's style with a Gonset
"Communicator" that ran off of the car battery - pack a picnic and drive to
some imposing summit like nearby 10,000 foot Black Mountain and work a
little 2 meter A.M. all by ourselves until one of us would decide that we'd
better not run down the battery...

Nowadays a fellow can take his Honey hiking with a KX1 and "forget" to take
a spare set of batteries...
