Interesting...

"Your radio uses power only 35% of the time when transmitting CW, and about 
25% during normal Voice SSB operation."

But a lot higher percentage if you run RTTY or some other digimodes.  Or you 
have "a lot" of speech processing and play with contests!

(They do an adapter from Molex to PP anyway for the DC side.)

Like your contrymen say about automotive stuff.  "There's no substitute for 
Cube's" if you want power.

Take care peep's.   There's no mention of CE, FCC or UL (safety) approvals, or if 
there is any over-voltage protection (for your expensive radio, and/or other DC 
powered kit.)

I suspect too, that small fan might make an anoying noise.  (If it shifts enough 
air to do any good.)
