   since some Hams use far more power then necessary they would never   
   notive the inefficency.   
   An example is a small emergency net for a church I used to participate o   
   nin the 2 meter band. I donated a moble rig and a modified car starting   
   pack as a power supply and told then that low power on the mobile was   
   all that was necessary foir the net but some operators insisted on using   
   high power.   
   which totaly defeated my design parameters for the battery pack.   
   Using typical transmit to revieve ratios the power pack would be good   
   for 24 hours using low power.
