Re: [IRCA] Further thoughts on DC Power for DX rigs

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Accepting the challenge, I connected my Palstar R30 to a Xantrex 12 Volt 
"XPower Powerpack 200 Plus", turned it on at moderate volume, and will 
leave it running until the pack shows it is at minimum level or the radio 
begins to misbehave.

The pack is 12Ah and the radio draws about 500mA, so this could take a while.
