Hi Dave - I use one of those Chicom 12-24 volt (20 amp version)
"converters", probably the same one you showed but they seem to change
manufacturers' names at random...I use it to power the PRC-47 in the truck
from the 12V batt and so far it works well, Lo and Hi power selected.
Another powers my PRC-174 in the house off the solar battery system.
I would suggest you run your test again but with a representative load on
the converter as a better test.
FYI, Tim
