Hey, Sort of off topic, but I was wondering if anyone has any positive experience using boost regulators fed from a lead acid battery to drive their K3? Specifically I'm wondering which models might be relatively free of emitted noise, are fairly efficient, and haven't messed up in a typical RF environment. I use solar panels to keep a flooded lead acid battery array charged, then run my ham stuff from that - but the battery voltage does sag lower than I'd like under transmit, dropping down to about 12.0 VDC, so I'd like to get it closer to 13.8 under load by using a boost regulator. Appreciate the bandwidth, and thanks in advance. 73, Bob, WB4SON ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
