Is anyone using full time battery power and trickle charging? Considering the high price of power supplies and the security of a full time backup system, it would seem to make sense. The K3 draws so little current on receive that it would make sense to run it this way. I would be a bit concerned about gas from the battery however. Currently I use an Astron 35m and I love it but I just bet that it consumes more power than the K3! Perhaps the battery/charger concept would be more efficient?
