Thanks to all who responded - I now officially have too many options! I didn't know about the RV converter solution; I like that idea and will keep my eye out for a reasonably priced unit for a "real" setup for my shack.
I'm leaning toward getting a "normal" 30A supply in the short term, since I don't have a supply that will put out that much current, and I'm sure it will be useful in the long term. I *might* try cobbling something together with a smart charger, battery and PowerPole panel; I made up such a setup for one of my APRS installations, where the PP panel has two inputs, each fused: one for the battery, one for the charger. It would be interesting to see how well such a little charger can keep up with my (typically low duty cycle) usage pattern... (And Don, I can see that I'll be drilling a hole in my K2's case soon!) 73 de chris K6DBG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
