What I have is a 12V DC battery bank (150 AH) feeding all my radio equipment - transceivers, scanners, processors), a 1500 VA UPS for the desktop computer and printer, and a 500 VA UPS for the phones and digital distribution system. The charger for the battery system (which can handle full load if the batteries fail) and the laptop supply are fed off the mains. That system can and has powered the radio room for several hours with less than 1 volt drop in the nominal 12-volt system. 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]
