[Elecraft] Solar power for the K2

[Paul]

Andrew,
When reading the other posts and seeing those large Solar Panel 
wattages, I think they are using a K2 but with the 100W option. I 
can't imagine needing a 33W solar panel to power the base K2 model. 
On a nice day, I guessing you could hook up a 7 Ahr gel cell and have 
it charged with a 5-10 Watt panel and work for a long time. The 
battery supplies the TX power when you need it and during the RX 
cycle the Solar Panel is catching it for power used.

You might try posting your question on the Yahoo QRPSolarPower newsgroup.
