BioennoPower LiFePO4 batteries solved my power supply birdies problem. I now run the KX3/PX3/KXPA100 and the K3/P3/VGA monitor each from a 40 Ah battery. They came with chargers so I habitually recharge whenever I QRT. It's so nice to be free of AC mains restrictions and free from linear

Which one? I didn't like the EMI from the 10 amp model but could live with it if absolutely necessary. I've been talking to them about the problem hams have with noise and we might convince them to sell quieter LiFePO4 chargers. -- Marc. SDG > On Dec 21, 2015, at 3:51 PM, Jim Sheldon

Unfortunately, my experience with Bioenno's chargers is that they are EXTREMELY RFI noisy. In the same house with my KX3 the noise was over S9! Sent from my iPad > On Dec 21, 2015, at 2:37 PM, Juliean Galak wrote: > > Can one keep the battery on the charger and run the

Oh, yeah. That's the first one I bought from them at the summer sale, and I did complain right away. Those are ideal for powering the KX3 and I carry one in the Pelican with my bare KX3. The USB port is used to power a plug-in LED lamp. I do wish more people making those power supplies

Has anyone experiencing these RFI problems tried passing the power cable through a large mix 31 donut to see if the noise is eliminated? Worth a shot… Jim / W6JHB > On Monday, Dec 21, 2015, at Monday, 1:00 PM, Marc Veeneman > wrote: > > Which one? I didn't like the EMI

Charger voltage as it finishes the internal balance cycle rises to 14.6 volts. The K3 and KX3 seem happy then. 40 amp hours at 12-13 volts should last 4 hours key down. I don't usually last that long. But the charger QRN is about S2 so you could conduct tag chew QSOs while recharging. My

It is their BLF-1203T 12 volt, 3 Ah battery. Jim Sent from my iPad > On Dec 21, 2015, at 3:00 PM, Marc Veeneman wrote: > > Which one? I didn't like the EMI from the 10 amp model but could live with > it if absolutely necessary. > > I've been talking to them about the

Can one keep the battery on the charger and run the radio off the battery simultaneously? I wonder how long I can run a K3s/100 off one of these batteries... Juliean KD2JPF On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 2:20 PM, Marc Veeneman wrote: > BioennoPower LiFePO4 batteries solved my power

My radio club, Newport County Radio Club (W1SYE), has been using a Bioenno Power 30 AH LiFePO4 battery for a few years on many of our Island on the Air activations as well as Jamboree on the Air. We were running a 100 Watt HF radio from early morning to sunset at 100 watts output. In all our

My electric co-op is trying to be cooperative (no pun intended). They even hired these guys (highly recommended by ARRL) http://www.rfiservices.com/ to teach them a workshop and they plan to have another. Also on the site at http://www.rfiservices.com/fccwarning are some interesting

I’ve got a Bioenno Power BLF-1212WS (LiFEPo4) sitting here on my desk, being charged by their supplied 117v charger, model FY1502000 switching power supply. It makes zero hash or crud on my KX3, K3, or SoftRock Ensemble RXTX (40,30, 20 meter version). No ferrite donuts wound on my leads. What

Well, you convinced me. :) 30AH battery ordered. Now I just need an antenna and a radio... :) Juliean KD2JPF. On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 5:02 PM, Bob wrote: > My radio club, Newport County Radio Club (W1SYE), has been using a Bioenno > Power 30 AH LiFePO4 battery for a few

I use three discarded 12v server back-up bateries which are discarded from the server room after one year of service, but are generally worth three to four years usage. Mine are connected to a West Mountain Super PWRgate PG40S between my Power supply and the 12 volt equipment. When the mains

Here's a nice discount on excellent LiFePO4 batteries. Their prices are already very good, and 15% discount makes it even better. They sell batteries and chargers in all sizes and Ah ratings. I bought the BLF-1220W last summer for a friend to use on a back-packing trip to a rare 6M grid. 73,
