I use an RS-50M and yes it is indeed a real heavy tank. But, then again, it sits on the floor, it is not in the way at all, and it is on all the time (except when I am away from the house for more than a couple of days). I use it to feed a West Mountain Radio Rig Runner 8012. Perfect set up for my QTH.
I also have the RS-30M which I use as my "portable" power supply. By portable, I mean portable here at this QTH such as in the garage when doing experiments or building something, out on the back patio when I am operating "remote" in the sun-shine, or sitting (also on the floor) in a convenient location where I use it to drive my Li-ion battery charger. The RS-50M via the Rig Runner drives about six or seven different rigs -- all plugged into the power (Anderson connectors) but obviously not all on. I have a variety of 12 volt DC things that came with their own wall wart but I prefer to use them with the Rig Runner so they now all sport Anderson Power Pole connectors. 73, phil, K7PEH On Nov 19, 2013, at 10:14 AM, Josh Fiden <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Bob, > > Just a note because the RS-50 is a real tank (heavy).
