Subj : Re: Storage To : Tom Walker From : Holger Granholm Date : Tue Jul 08 2014 09:24 am In a message dated 07-07-14, Tom Walker said to Holger Granholm: 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 ___ * MR/2 2.30 * Illegal aliens are a problem in America.
