Dave, Be careful with wallwarts - many of them are unregulated and the output voltage will soar with low current draw. I would suggest a 13.8 volt 3 to 6 amp power supply instead of a wallwart - consider this one from MPJA http://www.mpja.com/138VDC-6A-Benchtop-Power-Supply/productinfo/9323+PS/.
An alternative would be a gel cell connected to a smartcharger. The battery will stay topped off and the smartcharger can stay connected to the battery indefinitely. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/13/2011 11:58 AM, David & Linda Kerl wrote: > Hello all, > > This is my first posting to the reflector, after purchasing a used K1-4. > First let me say how impressed I am with the receiver.
