!Re: [MRCA] PRC-64 Battery Pack - need low power regulator

[Richard Arland, W3OSS]

You should be shamed into getting your 5300 on the air, pal. AHAHAHAHAH!

Now, Brooke has been coaching me and says that a LM-317L (TO-92 pkg) is the 
place to start, so I will get one and go from there.

I tend to think that the dropping resistor would be the right KISS-type 
solution to the situation. However, I like the idea of the regulator, 
especially if I can get it on a small pcb and fit it into the battery box 
between the two SLA sticks.

Jan Xtals has mine on order....the should be here Friday or Monday. I have 
3885 as one of my chcoices, too. 3560 for QRP CW and 7030 for 40M QRP. I may 
have a problem getting the 64 to tune 40M, since the TM says that this rig 
stops at 6.5 MHz. A little tweak here, a little tweak there....
