摘要

MFJ Enterprises is teaming up with the Xiegu Technology Co. of China to market Xiegu5S "X5105" 160- to 6-meter，5-watt，2-pound portable transceiver (Photo A), with a built-in 3.8- Ah, 12-volt Lithium Ion battery. It also works on external 12 volts, with about a half-amp draw on receive. We measured 2.5 amps on SSB transmit peaks. Yes, the internal Lithium Ion battery safely recharges automatically on an external 12-volt connection. The rig also has a built-in mic and speaker, like a Rambo-style handheld.
