[Elecraft] K3 13.8 VDC power

[mike]

My setup is charging a 33 AH AGM battery via a West Mountain Radio PowerGate
PG40S that feeds a distribution panel for the K3, P3 and other 12v
accessories. The power supply input to the PowerGate is a PowerWerx
SPS-30DM. The system can handle short power outages and keeps the battery
correctly charged. I only turn the P/S on when using the rigs unless the
PowerGate indicates a need for 'bulk' charging. When it goes to float, I
turn the P/S off. I really see this as an uninterruptible P/S protection for
the station. It was also helpful when I was chasing down an interference
signal I was seeing by eliminating any source in the house (cut the AC mains
and ran the K3/P3 form the battery.)
