As it stands I have enough power in the Surface to operate for 4+ hours at a time backpack portable and much longer if I’m not walking too far as I can use my 20ah LiFePo4 battery and solar charger in that situation. The surface pro 7 will charge from a 12volt car charger I have but obviously I need to increase my portable power budget to account for this. This is quiet a high end ultra portable PC so is significantly more expensive than a Raspberry Pi but when you think of the cost of an iPad or Android tablet (with 4G capability) that I have been using as a display then the cost doesn’t seem so much more. The windows tablet I am using is the Surface Pro 7. IC705 and Surface Pro 7 connected over WiFi. Prior to this I would be using a rasberry pi with an iPad and keyboard connected over VNC for the display and control of the pi, although I have been able to connect the pi to the radio over WiFi I currently prefer the windows tablet setup. This has allowed me to use a single tablet for both home and portable operation. This software allows me to connect to my IC-705 from a windows PC 100% over WiFi – that’s for CAT Control as well as sound. I recently discovered the Icom RS-BA1 software which includes the Icom Remote Utility.
