Thinking about your first Parks on the Air (POTA) activation and wondering what radio to bring? In this video, Jim, N4BFR breaks down the best radios for POTA based on operating style (CW, digital, or voice), portability (backpack vs luggable), features, and budget.
You don’t need a “special” POTA radio—but the best choice depends on what mode you’ll operate and how much power you want in the park. We cover everything from ultra-compact QRP kits to full-featured 100-watt portable rigs—and yes, a $90 kit radio makes our Top 5.
What you’ll learn:
CW vs digital vs voice: what it means for radio choice
QRP explained (and when it makes sense for POTA)
Backpack-class vs 100-watt “luggable” radios
How travel and setup style should guide your decision
Accessories that matter: keys, headsets, tuners, logging, and rig control
