Oh Yeah! And in the what-to-do-with-the-2/3-empty-space list...
How about a KIT, high end *PREMIUM* (not cheep for maximum profit as most stuff available) switching supply that.. 1) fits nicely into the P3 or into a separate "metered" elecraft box made for it. 2) is completely noiseless at RF frequencies. 3) has a sense lead to the 13V bus *inside* the K3 and maintains a perfect voltage to the K3, regardless of some additional loads (like my 10W K3) 4) has a separate connection(s) to a battery(s), which it uses as INPUT to the switching supply and draws from automatically and seamlessly if the AC drops. 5) drawing from the battery(s) will supply proper voltage to the K3 regardless of the charge state, down to a setable input cutoff threshold. 6) will have a smart charge cycle that works whenever the K3 is not drawing. 7) has a separate lead to a solar panel and will pull from the panel at whatever level the panel is supplying to a) supply the K3 and b) smart-charge the battery. 8) completely RF proof and can't be queered by RF in the shack. 73, Guy K2AV > > See the photo at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/n4hh/ > > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
