[HCARC] Power Analyzer

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

I have one of these in my Solar power set up for general use and since it 
resides with batteries in a box with wheels is available for use at things 
like Field day.  I plan on building a Go Box like Jeff lavender has to sit 
on top of my solar panels box.  Also included in the box is one of these for 
ease of connection.

and these for fusing:

I use the solar power panel kit you can get from Harbor Freight for $139.00 
(3 each 15 watt panels, plus charge controller plus solar panel mounts).  I 
have coupons for getting them for $139.00 if anyone is interested.  Easiest 
way to get the coupon right now is to go and pick up the latest copy of the 
Fishing newspaper that they give away in front of HEB and Kerrville Ranch 
and Pet.
