Re: Battery Charging PowerGate

Why not use a PowerGate device from West Mountain Radio.  We do that our club's repeater site and it works darn good.  The repeater is run off batteries...while the Astron is used as a charger.  The PowerGate takes care of the charging issues.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

Lee and the Group:

I have used a 73 AH battery with a fuse at the terminal, a PowerGate,
and a 35 Amp Astron power supply to run a K2. This has been set up for
about 2 years, and has been trouble free.

73,
