Looking into a power inverter to run my radio system out of my car with.
Trying to figure out how big of one do I need?
Radio=10watts RF
Amp=160watts RF
Laptop=57watts AC
So what size? 300watts, 700watts, 1000watts?
Presently I have a 15amp power supply but was looking at a 25amp power
supply to run the radio & amp, as for now I only have 6meters, but plan to
get other bands as I can via transverters along with 100+watt amps for each.
My ultimate goal is to make the system as easy to take into the house or
other site as possible yet still be a good mobile setup.
Have the radio mounted on top of the present power supply so as to use in
the house as well as mobile mouted via floorboard & a couple of load hauling
straps around the car seat frame, using the PS as a riser to bring the radio
up to a useable level off of the cars floor. Also looking at mounting the
amp on top of the radio for convienence.
HELP! ! !
