I rather disagree. I have the HP-13 mobile power supply (as well as the 120V power supply/speaker combo) for my Heathkit HW-101, which allows me to run the rig off a 12V system. The HP-13 can be shielded against EMP. And I do, in fact, keep a couple of sets of spare tubes around. It is one rig I will not get rid of, as it can be repaired if something breaks. As for it “failing early and often”, and being too fragile to transport, I used it as my main transceiver for years until I moved to another location where space is at a premium, and a Yaesu FT-817 and a “backpacking” type amp take up far less room than the old Heathkit and its power supply/speaker (which I have carefully packed away and stored). I used the rig with its mobile power supply for Field Day one year and it performed (and traveled) just fine. YMMV…
