[Premium-Rx] Rackmount UPS

[wb5uom at hughes.net]

Stephen,
I use a 2000 watt TrippLite Inverter/Charger with two deep cycle batteries.

Works great for me. I , too, live out in the boonies and understand  your
problem.
I also use this same setup for all of my commercial paging sites as well,
makes a great surge protector.
