This is awesome!! I have a radio. No clue how to use it.
What's the best option for recharging it?
Quoting: Silenced J I would learn how to use it, and then set up the following:
A galvanized garbage can to store it in. Galvanized lid, too.
A cheap used laptop ($100) with MuliPSK or Hellschreiber software
A 150 watt inverter and computer / radio power supplies
A 10 watt solar panel with charge controller
A 12 vdc deep cycle battery (doesn't need to be in the can)
An antenna for the radio.
Once you have all this together and prove it works with Hellschreiber, put everything minus the battery in the can. Seal the can with aluminum tape. Keep the battery on a trickle charger.
The 10 watt solar panel should give you four hours of daily operation. A 60 - 80 watt panel should give you 24 hours a day use reliably. Don't know if a panel that large can be put in the can, which it needs to be for EMP.
