I've looked at this too, given that I'm /P almost 100% of the time now and have considered various QRO options. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a QRO solution that doesn't involve something semi-permanently mounted in my truck. Either a deep-cycle AGM or a high capacity LiFEPO4 in the spare battery tray under the hood with long heavy cables is about the best I've been able to come up with.
If I keep it at 10 watts or less, though, I can actually carry it a short distance (and of course its easily transportable in the vehicle). My K3 and K3S, for instance, will run a good 4 or 5 hours on my 9AH AGM batt, though less than that with a lot of transmitting. The K2 would run all day on the same batt.... So that might be required in your case too? Eg. a YellowTop 12V deep cycle in the vehicle or an equivalent LiFE 12V... Sorry, I know that's not much help, but I'm kind of in the same boat hi hi. 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Battery-requirements-for-NPOTA-activation-with-KX3-KXPA100-tp7615691p7615696.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
