 Portable - for one person to move, and can fit in a trunk or back cargo area.Enough to run a field day op, not more than 3kw, or so.

Mark, Define portable. One person carry? Two persons carry? Mounted on wheels to roll around?

One person portables around 1KW max. Wheeled, up to prob 10KW. Depends on how bad you want to move it and how far.

1-2KW probly plenty to run field day radio stuff.

Given the tax free weekend, what portable generator would you recommend - sized for field day usage.

The Texas Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday will occur

from Saturday, April 23, 2022 at 12:01 am, CDT, to midnight, Monday,

April 25, 2022.

  

    The list of supplies and items that qualify appear on the Texas

Comptroller's website at: 

https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/98-1017.php

  

    Unfortunately, the tax holiday does not provide exemption from

sales tax on the purchase of radios in excess of $75 in value. Perhaps

we can persuade a Texas legislator to sponsor an amendment to the law

that would extend the tax exemption to permit the exclusion of sales tax

on a broader class of amateur radios and related equipment.

  

    If you have been planning to purchase a small generator, note the

sales tax exclusion does apply to portable generators that cost less

than $3,000.00, permitting — depending on brand and where purchased

— the acquisition of generators up to 15,000 watts.

  

    Be safe.
