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

Curt,
Thanks for running this test.
How long have you had this unit? (Xantrex 12v XPower Powerpack 200 Plus)- 
sounds like an energy drink!   Did you originally obtain it for use with 
your Palstar- or other radios? Do you use it often?  OK enough with the 
questions, hi.
73- Doug
