Best Answer

Yes and no. Some high power ham radios do not run on batteries, but use 12 volt power supplies. You can hook this up to a car battery and use that, but a higher power radio will exhaust its power quickly, so it is impractical. Smaller, handheld radios do run on batteries, and put out a lower power signal.
