[Elecraft] MARC & K3s Battery !!!

[Jim Davis]

Dear OB,

Here in Concord, CA I run my “K3/P3” via a “Kyocera-140w/Sun Pwr controller+2 140amp/hr marine batteries” 24/7 and have NOT had a failure YET in 4yrs !!!  Eventhough it’s not exactly what you’d stated I’ve been able to UTILIZE solar-power very effectively and have achieved “revenue-neutrality” as far as our COSTS ARE CONCERNED running the K3/P3 combo !!!  As OUR local UTILITY COMPANY ain’t charging ME ANYTHING FOR RUNNING OUR HAM GEAR as for that part of our HF STATION OUR USE OF IT IS “FREE"!!!

REGARDS,

JIM/NN6EE
