Do a search for Connecticut Solar. I purchased a couple of panels from them.
You will also need a controller.
Best of Luck.

Actually, I had a question that is in a similar vein.
I bought a buddipole, and plan on taking my K2/100 camping. I began to
research batteries, such as gell cell and glass matt batteries, and solar
charging. My guess is that I might operate about 4 to 5 hours per day,
running up to the full "gallon." Operating modes would be SSB, CW and
while
my laptop batteries held up, PSK. I also plan on being out in the woods
for
probably a week at a time.
There is so much on the web, I just cannot separate out what would work,
from overkill. In spite of reading several treatises, I still am not sure
whether I would want a gell cell or a glass matt battery. My question
(finally) - I'd like to hear from people on the list who have a
battery/solar recharging system that works well and will run the K2/100
for
the 4 to 5 hours per day, listing the components he or she is using.
Given the size and weight of batteries, I had hoped to use a 36 Ah
battery,
and then recharge it with solar power. But it seems that these batteries
charge rather slowly, and that might not be possible. For example, I
think
it is powerportstore.com that has a 1.2 amp flexible solar panel recharger
that puts out approximately 5.6 - 7 Ah per day. The solar panel is about
$
500.00. The general size/weight and price is ok, but it doesn't appear
that such output would be sufficient to fully recharge a big battery.
I think I'd rather duplicate what has worked for someone else, than try to
reinvent the wheel. Thanks in advance. Tom W6EIJ

I am working on a keying scheme/sequencer that will work with several
different model radios, and also function to safely provide excitation
drive and
over-drive protection. It is not oriented toward the Elecraft radios but,
I am
keeping them in mind as well. Let me know if you donâ?Tt find a more
specific
answer!
