I am considering getting an R75 for use as a DXpedition rig. If I were
to get one, what would be the best way to power it while in the field?

I don't know about the Palstar, but the Icom requires about an amp of
current while operating. That's quite a draw and could drain a gel cell in
a few hours. If you use this radio you'd probably want to use a deep cycle
marine battery or else two high-capacity gel cells with a charger.
