[Elecraft] Could this operate on a motorcycle?

[rgconner]

5w is not enough if we get out of line of site. 

On a recent ride we could not open the designated repeater ~30miles away,
K6IS, with 5w units, an FT-60 and/or the Beofengs. We all run either a
Diamond or Comet antenna, so it was not just ducktails or screw on antenna.

The FT-10 did so easily, at I think 10w. Min power could not open it.

All right in the same spot, all moving around trying to get an open, but
only the FT could, and could from everywhere.

5w on 70cm works great 95% of the time, until we get canyons or lose line of
site.
