They are mostly used for 10 GHz hilltop operations.              I modified a Automobile Jump Starter unit into a portable power supply       tor the group I used to work with. I picked that particualr unit because       it had a trickle charger base it sits in when not in use.       It had an internal 15 A/h battery in it. I removed the jumper cables       and installed a power pole connector and a digital volt meter. It was       good for about 24 hours running a 5 watt unit.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom strikes agaoin        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 bbs.docsnetservices.com (1:123/140)    |
