• How to set up a compact Starlink terminal in a briefcase for portability
• Power options using lithium iron phosphate batteries and simple barrel jack connectors
• Tips to avoid voltage drop issues and maximize runtime in the field
• Cost breakdown, including the affordable $5/month Starlink “standby” plan that still provides more than enough bandwidth for RTK data
