Portable - for one person to move, and can fit in a trunk or back cargo
area.Enough to run a field day op, not more than 3kw, or so.

Mark, Define portable. One person carry? Two persons carry? Mounted on wheels
to roll around?
One person portables around 1KW max. Wheeled, up to prob 10KW. Depends on how
bad you want to move it and how far.
1-2KW probly plenty to run field day radio stuff.

Given the tax free weekend, what portable generator would you recommend - sized
for field day usage.

The Texas Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday will occur
from Saturday, April 23, 2022 at 12:01 am, CDT, to midnight, Monday,
April 25, 2022.
The list of supplies and items that qualify appear on the Texas
Comptroller's website at:
https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/98-1017.php
Unfortunately, the tax holiday does not provide exemption from
sales tax on the purchase of radios in excess of $75 in value. Perhaps
we can persuade a Texas legislator to sponsor an amendment to the law
that would extend the tax exemption to permit the exclusion of sales tax
on a broader class of amateur radios and related equipment.
If you have been planning to purchase a small generator, note the
sales tax exclusion does apply to portable generators that cost less
than $3,000.00, permitting — depending on brand and where purchased
— the acquisition of generators up to 15,000 watts.
Be safe.
