[Elecraft] KX3 and solar panels

[KD6QZX]

Howdy Gene, I am Scott AK6Q   (email is old call sign)
 
I have been using the A123 systems lithium nano phospate 12v 4.6aH battery with a US military 65W folding solar panel and a chinese charge controler (DC to DC).  Pictured is my system.  I got all of the parts from Ebay.  A123 is about $129, the Solar Panel is $199 and the charge controler is about $29.
 
I put it in my new bug out bag with a dipole 20M and an EndFed Half Wave antenna, throw line, KX3, Mic and Paddles, and note taking stuff and a small parts bag all for less than 17lbs.
