A cross band repeater unit I built for motorcycle rally and Jeep event use.
This is the basic setup before I installed the wiring. Radio on the left (KGUV8D) Low cost UPS battery in the middle. This is an 8AH battery. Right is a charge controller 20 amp unit which is way overkill for this build as the radio draws very little power.
Setup in my front yard with camo netting installed
Broken down in "travel" configuration. You can easily cut the tripod, NMO magnet mount and 1/2 wave antenna out of the pack up and use a roll up j-pole antenna then you'd just have to carry the box and solar panel.
Time lapse of setup and tear down

This unit will be in operation at WARPED in Kernville, Ca this year.
