Every place Jim makes reference to 10.8 Volts below, he really means 9.6
Volts....
Jim knows that, and now so does everyone else...

A Micor Base/Repeater Power Supply is a dual supply with 12+ plus 10.8
+ Volts. As you look at the power supply the two large terminals with
the Red and Black Lead going to the PA is 12 Volts, although it
actually measure about 14 volts. On the backplane there is another
small plug that comes out of the power supply and that plug supplies
10.8 Volts, plus 12 Volt Regulated for the Receiver, Exciter, etc. So
you could run it on battery, except you would have to build a 10.8
volt regulated circuit from say a LM317 regulator to adjust the 12 +
to 10.8 volts also. So Yes, it can be run on 12 volt battery power.
