I wonder if that had anything to do with (in the past at least) 50V and up were considered "dangerous" voltages that required special protection and warnings.
Of course any of us who happened to get across the circuit with even a 12V battery and a large inductance in series disagreed - after we picked ourselves up off of the floor. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Kane Sent: Monday, August 21, 2017 8:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 14 volt batteries?

Commercial "fixed station" equipment has largely migrated to 48V, the historical "Bell System" standard. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ 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] ______________________________________________________________ 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]
