[TowerTalk] Analyzer Power

>I purchased a "Jump Starter" portable battery at Walmart for around 
>$35. Use a cigarette lighter connector to connect to the MFJ 
>259/269.  I use it for those times when a number of time consuming 
>measurements are required at the tower or base of a vertical. It is 
>also useful on the bench when a series of measurements are being 
>made, as in searching for a particular value of capacitor or 
>adjusting an inductor. Also useful for tuning up mobile antennas. 
>Obviously, it is not used on the tower.
>
>It weighs less than 10 lbs, so no problem transporting it to the 
>antenna site.
>
>The battery serves double duty as a jump starter for the lawn 
>tractor. It even had enough energy to start the Honda sedan with a 
>dead battery.
