I'd suggest LiFePO4 batteries, as they can source the current necessary for the transmitter easily, and are safer in operation than Lithium Polymer. They can be safely charged on a portable solar panel if you disconnect once the voltage reaches 14.4v, and that's pretty much what the SLA charge

This makes the KX3 almost irresistible -- and it was pretty darn attractive already. Reviews of iSDR don't mention things like bandwidth, unfortunately. Any idea how iSDR on an iPad actually performs as a panadapter? It may not be necessary to buy a commercial gadget like the iMic to get stereo
