Hey every one, Here is something neat. One of the repeater groups around here took a computer type UPS and took out the lead acid battery and installed two deep cycle marine batteries in parallel and it seems to work fine for them. The repeater has no hum or buzz. Mite be some thing to look into. It sure would be down and dirty cheap. Very best of 73, Russ, W3CH
