I don't have the room in the current house for a shack, and now I no longer have the D2 and the L200 is on its way to a new home I dont have anything I can install for mobile coms.
This is where the shack in a box or go box comes in.
Youtube has various examples, the ones in 8U and 12U cabinets, stuffed with enough equipment to launch a rocket are only portable in the deranged imagination of the person who built it
Mine is in a 4U rack bag and designed for mains power, I do have a battery option but it will involve anderson plugs and big cables
Basic layout sorted
PSU wiring
Quick test, waiting on a plug to arrive for the radio on the left and no antennas connected, but it lights up
Much more needed to make it usable
