This idea of putting headphones and mic on Bluetooth has interested me for some time. Looking at the page on amazon, the 366-T device looks to be a transmitter only. That would be fine. You could hook it to the speaker or headphone output of the radio and buy a pair of Bluetooth headphones

Hi Roger, All we’ve done with the KXPD2 so far is add Loctite to the two screws that hold the assembly together. We’re also going to make a minor change to the PCB. In general the changes would not be noticeable by the average user. But we have SOTA operators who are using them in very harsh

There's no way you're going to run a KPA500 on battery.  IMO, power amps are totally out of place on FD, which I've always seen as a "barefoot" or QRP event. We do county expeditions for QSO parties like 7QP and CQP, and run two or three stations, each consisting of a K3, KPA500, KAT500, and

Keep in mind that by code, a device plugged into a 15 amp circuit must not draw more than 12 amps continuous. When you get into the larger UPSes, they might want to charge really fast, but charging at a high rate and carrying the rated load will exceed 12 amps. So depending on the rating of
