[VHFcontesting] inverters

[dbubke at juno.com]

Steve,

I am transitioning my modest rover setup, just like you, from loops to yagis. When I looked at the cost of upgrading my 14V power wiring to supply 25-35 amps (AWG 2 or larger)at 14 volts with minimal loss (0.2volt) and adding an inverter for a rotor, I decided it was time to take a generator and power supply along instead. This is untried in the field as yet.

I ran some tests on RF output of my rigs, at voltages varying from 11.15 - 14.2 volts, and was surprised at the 25% reduction in RF power output at 13.8 volts and 50% reduction at 12.6 volts.

Also tried a well known dc-dc booster to maintain 14 volts. It worked okay at loads of 15 amps or less. Not what I need.

Just my 2 cents.
