[TenTec] Mobile Power Source for Scout

[Dave Tipton]

I used to run a Deep Cell marine battery in the car, because of the horrible electrical system.  I could run a 100 Watt HF rig and a 50 Watt mobile about a month without recharging.
   
  I just simply set it in the floor board behind the passenger seat and ran the cables to it underneath the seat.  
   
  When it came time to recharge, I would grab the charger and plug it in, while cracking the windows on the car, in the event any gasses should vent.  I was a lot younger then, and didn't have the resources to fix the electrical problems in the car, but I could afford the $50 used (refurbished) battery.
   
  I do something similar in the house now as well.  I have a 50 amp power supply with 2-96Ah batteries as backup. 
   
  Just my .02c

  Folks,
I use a Scout mobile at half power with very good results. Still have 
some noise though no matter what filtering I use. The Explorer is fairly 
quiet though, but not perfectly quiet.
My question: Does anyone have any suggestions for a stand alone power 
source for mobile folks running about 25 watts looking for a noise free 
environment? 
Thanks, Jim, K4CFA
