I thought I had everything ready for a no-fail POTA-style activation… until the checklist fell apart in real-time. From missing coax to reversed polarity on the solar panel, this trip was almost dead in the water. In this video, I break down the full gear test with the G90, a brand-new Dabbsson power station, and a rugged minimalist setup for a car-camping ham radio mission.
Watch as I test, troubleshoot, and barely avoid a failed field day. This is why we test before we leave.
The Dabbsson 600L is the latest and first compact portable power station from Dabbsson. With 768Wh capacity and up to 900W output, it’s an ideal choice for van life, camping, and off-grid power — all packed into a lightweight 17.6 lb design. It also comes with a dedicated Dabbsson App for full control and monitoring.
