Recent acquisition is a Xiegu X5105.
The nice thing about the X5105 is that it has it's own built in battery (good for a few hours operating), a built in ATU, built in speaker, built in microphone and PTT button.
This makes it an all-in-one radio for 160m through to 6m with 5W output.
3D printed a bracket to mount a mini telescopic fibreglass fishing rod and made it into an HF 'walkie talkie'.

Need to see how it performs when hooked up to my loading coil...
