Jeff,

I don't think the Jupiter or the Pegasus like voltages much below 13.8v.

> After looking at the inside of the Jupiter, I was wondering if there is
enough room to place 897 (or other) batteries inside the Jupiter to provide
portable 12v power.  The manual says 1.5 amp draw on receive - probably not
the best radio for this use. Power would need to be dropped to 10 - 20
watts.  Nevertheless, reveiwing the pics on N9VV site shows a lot of room in
the radio.  Perhaps the spare jack could connect to the pack and allow
charging and a jumper to the 12volt input connector would provide the power
when needed?
