[Elecraft] K1 build question

[k4zm@comcast.net]

Hello Charlie:
I use a battery when operating portable while camping and an Astron 4 Amp
regulated Astron power supply when operating form my home. I have a K2 with
all options and find I can run it an entire weekend contest using a Power
Sonic PS12120  12V 12 amp/hr gel cell battery.
