An ice fishing box to house my ic-7000, an atu, a battery pack. Very crude but solid rack made of pine board I had laying around. This is cobbling of the best sort.

@Eheran This is incorrect. USB PD does 20V 5A (100W) with the common 3.0 version. 3.1 increases that to 240W using higher voltages. https://www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd

Most radios won't run on 20V or higher. At 15V or lower, USB PD is limited to 3A.

If you wanted to get 100 watts, you would need a buck converter to step 20V down to 13.8V. Now you have two switch mode power supplies producing RFI.
