Hi Tom,
TW> I modified a Automobile Jump Starter unit into a portable power
TW> supply tor the group I used to work with. I picked that particualr
TW> unit because it had a trickle charger base it sits in when not in
TW> use. It had an internal 15 A/h battery in it. I removed the jumper
TW> cables and installed a power pole connector and a digital volt
TW> meter. It was good for about 24 hours running a 5 watt unit.
I don't want to have any extra weight to carry along with the parabolic
dish, transceiver and the tripod for the dish. The transverter for the
10 GHz band is mounted behind the dish and the 144 MHz transceiver for
the IF is a Yaesu/Sommerkamp FT-290.
All that has to be carried uphill and/or to a position that is free from
obstructions, preferably in a single trip.
Have a nice day,
Holger
