Re: Amateur radio
Hi,
Maybe must explain QRP to our new friends: low power
Ok, adjustable power will do as well. Then you have a choice to use more power when needed.
But considering that you may have to power it from batteries probably low power is what you're looking for.
About EMP resistance equipment: as far as my knowledge goes that would mean expensive military stuff.
The 'amateur' related equipment is not hardened specifically. However often it has a metal casing which could work as a Faraday cage.
But ... if the circuitry is connected to this casing (often used as common or ground) it does NOT protect for EMP.
I am not an expert but really grounding the case might work.
My guess is that affordable stuff is not EMP protected and you have to keep it in an EMP safe place till you need it. Don't connect antennas or other cabling to it unless it's all within the Faraday cage (but that makes no sense).
Cheers
