Thom,
I use a Gamma HPS1a sometimes but it can't handle 120W CW sustained,
more like 80W but can do 100W SSB. I also use a Group 24 battery with a
Battery Tender (1.5A) or a 5A solar panel and controller. The solar
panel isn't doing as well in the winter. For the battery route, the A&A
charger many people like, and it is 5A. I use Tempest batteries
because there is a nearby seller and I can avoid shipping. They are
sealed and so I don't worry about hydrogen venting. Many folks like
rhe golf cart wet cells and keep them outside.

Looking for suggestions for a power supply for the K3/100
The only thing I have handy(well, if I can get them upstairs) are some
sealed lead acid batteries from motorized carts.
I have a few that are 34ah and at least one that is 55ah and one of the
chargers that autosenses battery charge level.
Seems to me this should do the job, but I've never run a 100 watt rig
on batteries, so I really don;t know.
thanks in advance for suggestions.
