   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
