I use a 100 amp linier Home-Brew supply, made by N5RV, connected to a West
Mountain PWRGate and RigRunner.

I have two Phoenix PHX-12-475 and one CD Technologies batteries in parallel
feeding the PWRGate.

The above are currently running my Orion II, Elecraft XV144 and will also run
the on order K3 when it arrives.

They that can give up essential liberty
to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety.
