[TenTec] Argonaut V

[Bwana Bob]

I dunno, couldn't you put it in a rucksack with a gel cell battery and 
make a packset out of it? I bet those 20 W military packsets like the 
AN/PRC-15 or AN/URC-87 were a lot heavier than an Argonaut. I think a 
few people have made portable setups for the Scout.
