QRP portable power
Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2014 11:19 am
I am seeing small Lithium Ion power packs that are designed for cell phones and other portable electronic
devices at radio shack on clearance. I picked up a small 14 volt unit that works wonderfully with my portable
rigs and it was dirt cheap and charges via a USB cable so I can plug it in the truck and keep it charged. Now
these things are not going to run anything real high amp draw but have had no problems with putting out 5 watts
on my PFR-3 and doing it for several hours. If you have a need for such a thing, now might be the time to purchase.
Mine was in the $10 range.
