I am upgrading a bit here…
got a new full sine wave ups coming with two aux battery packs to replace my old cyberpower 3000 ups.
Ups has AH rating of 336 and each aux battery pack is 864 AH….
I am also looking at replacing my Astron 35m power supplies with more efficient switching power supplies or running my TT Eagle or my Omni 7 and various sundries that use 12 vdc with a battery pack, charger and a battery booster when needed.
So my question is…what switching power supplies are my fellow hams using and how well do you like them?
I am aiming for efficiency, rf quietness and flexibility.
Other than the station, the ups will be used to fire a smaller flat screen tv, satellite receiver, iMax and a lamp….nothing total over 500 watts draw…at least to my calculations.
