[ILQSO] mobile antennas

[David Bunte]

Jim -

I used an inverter that was pretty darn quiet, but replaced it a few weeks ago with a DC supply for my Dell laptop.  I did it MOSTLY because I wanted less "stuff" in the truck, but with it  I can detect NO noise at all.  The inverter was about 8" by 5" by 1 1/2".  Then the laptop supply plugged into that made for a lot of cords and "clumps" of stuff on the floor.  Now I just have one "clump", about the same size as the AC supply... but it is plugged into the RigRunner and stays under the seat all the time.  The plug that goes into the laptop happens to be a right angle, so the cord then drops straight down... I love it.
