I've setup quite a light mobile FT-8 setup in case you are interested.

I'm using the FT8CN Android app and a truSDX radio. USB cable from the radio into my phone powers the radio as well as sends/receives the audio.

For antenna I'm just using a hamstick on the roof.

This only puts out about half a watt but I was getting out about 2500-3000km away. You could then have an alternative power source like a battery to get around 5 watts.

I hadn't heard of the truSDX - I'll probably pick one up! Seems like the cheapest new HF radio with computer control out there, sounds perfect for getting started. I would assume I can connect it to a 12V socket in my car for full power.

Yep I love it for FT8. Fun little radio to play around with. If you want any more info my email is in my bio, feel free to email me.
