[Elecraft] K2/100 Emergency field battery

[Don Wilhelm]

Tim,

I would suggest you use your vehicle battery.
I have thought of wiring my vehicle battery with a short wire with fuses
wirh an Anderson Powerpole connector on the end - and also making up an
extension long enough to reach the interior of the vehicle with the
Powerpole connectors on each end.

I would complete the emergency setup with some kind of quick mounting socket
for a mobile antenna - I already have a bunch of hamsticks.

When the need arises, I could pick up the K2/100, the Powerpole extension
cord, and the hamsticks and go.
