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

I have one of my mobiles ( in the house ) on a deep cycle battery and a  
small solar panel.  this would work well in the car as the solar panel  charges 
when ever the sun is up and keeps the battery topped of for ever.   use one of 
those panels the ship on Volkswagens or similar, a 12 volt ( 17 volts  no load) 
at 150 milliamps will do fine with no controller into a battery over 33  AH. 
bigger is better. mount securely like in a battery box in the trunk screwed  
to the floor, in case of accident.
