[Elecraft] Laptop UPS

[Jan Erik Holm]

So far I havent used it together with my radio station. I probably
will and then I have to solve it.
I dont know how much noise it creates, I have to check as soon as
I get some more time. You see for living I run my own small company
and right now I´m quite busy.
