I like portable operating and so when i get the chance i will take to the hills :-)
Here is a short video of the FT817ND set up in a portable location and using the small PAC-12 antenna. This antenna is great for backpacking as it splits down to just 12 inches but is almost 9 feet high when assembled. Mine is for 40 / 20 meters but it can be made to operate 80-10mtrs with the appropriate loading coils.
