Don't forget the caveat I offered with that space size - I've yet to see a square millimeter in a cabinet that Wayne didn't disclose a planned use for by the time the product reached "maturity" :-)
Take a peek at the inside of a fully-loaded KX1, K2 or K3 for an example. Tnx for the Powerizer lead. That might be just what I need (assuming Elecraft doesn't come up with a "magic E" solution). Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- "How much would you be willing to pay" for an internal uninterruptible PS in the P3? Let's see: Working from what we already know . . . Gamma Research HPS-1a is $169 According to Ron AC7AC there is only 4x4x6" space available in the P3, so keeping that as a limiting factor, even the following LiFePO4 battery pack would fit in: Powerizer's 12.8v (working; 14.6v peak; 10v cutoff) 9.9aH (127WH at 21amp) LiFePO4 battery pack (4S3P) 2lbs, 4.3x3.3x3.4" [since LiFePO4 batteries allow full power operation through more than 95% of its capacity, this pack would allow for significant operational time at 100w. Also note this technologies reputation for safety (no fire or explosion risk), 10+ year lifespan with thousands of full discharge/charge cycles, and quick recharge times.] Current Price = $154 [$139 in quantity] Of course, one might not need anything nearly as large as this battery pack for the intended function! Powerizer also lists a 6.6aH pack for $75. So one could reasonably surmise that it should be possible to sell an internal P3 PS along the lines suggested for somewhere between $175 to $350. At anything like these prices, I would buy it without hesitation. 73 John N6JW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
