Yes!
But I've used a few and found the 10watt Uniflex panel to be a good size
vs output. It puts out abt half of rated (500ma) during normal timed use,
but has been enough for the radios that most backpackers will carry.
Prob the biggest rigs you would want to carry would be a K2, 703, 718
sized or Smaller like the DSW units... the larger only need aprox
700-1000ma
per hour during normal 1:4 of TX vs RX(high use) . Good battery
selection and a small charger will handle the larger rigs. As to the
smaller like the DSW 's or
AT's or KX1's the power draw is low enough to never run out of power
with the a small charger and battery pack.
