    This a review of a Yaesu FT-817 Solar Powered Go Pack. I built this solar powered case for my FT-817 radio so it can be used portable without the worry of power and keeping it self contained. It’s all contained in the case so it can easily be taken to a picnic, on holiday or attached to the backpack for a QRP adventure. Total cost for all the bits excluding the radio is about $150-$180 (most bought off Amazon).
