Hi Bryan,
I am using a fairly cheap Behringer mixer fed with USB power. You can use one of these cellphone battery packs to power it if you like. I also use this for Amateur TV purpose and so far I am quite happy for the bang to the buck value of it. The other big advantage is that it supports USB sound, so you can also hook up a PC as recorder.
Its not much as hi-end audio mixer, but perfectly OK for communications.

Hello, all!
Bryan KL7CN/W6 CM98fn here.
Regarding portable operation, I like to record my QSOs using a small MP3 device. I feed the audio from the radio (an IC-W32A) through the MP3 player to my headphones.
It works so-so. I can hear my own downlink sometimes. And, sometimes I can't.
I've often though it would be nice to mix my mic and speaker together somehow, and then feed that to the MP3 recorder.
It would be some sort of an audio mixer.
I found this device for motorcycle operators, and it comes close to what I have in mind:
It lacks a passthrough for the mic.
Any ideas on a device to do that?
