[VHFcontesting] Inverters, Rovers and such

[steve d]

Yep, all inverters I have delt with all play with the radios real nice.  I run my laptop off 13-14 volts now (it seems to run OK, 14.5 or 15v  normal supply). I second the opinion of the kill switch. Only turn the  inverter on when you need to rotate. It will be the best route to go.  Then, dont break the bank on a nice inverter - just get an el-cheapo  from Harbor Freight, Walmart, Odd Lots, ect. I used a 140w Sims before.  It would run a rotator no problem, but not a whole lot more. My current  inverter is a 350-400w Coleman I got from Odd Lots for about $30. It  runs everything Ill ever need to use it for - including my drill and  saw for field repars HI (as long as I dont go full throttle on em'). 
  
  Hope this helps,
