N1JUR - Beach Kit
My family and I love spending time at the beach during the summer. However, I often get bored within the first 30 minutes and wish I had a small portable radio to play with, similar to what I would use at a local park.
So, I was on the lookout for a radio with a smaller footprint than the G-90 or FT-9891. Luckily, I came across BG2FX's FX4CR and immediately joined the group buy. The FX4CR is the centerpiece of my beach go-bag as it offers 20 watts, a waterfall, and Bluetooth for FT8. It also has speaker outputs for headphones and a mic-level input, which allows me to use an external mic or a Heil headset for quiet operation.
I combined this with the 5.11 8qt Bag, which has a “plethora” of zip pockets and places to stick small parts.
