So here's a thought I had today. I have a perfectly good 12 volt
automobile battery here, why not operate the 1500 off battery power
during field day? Then I got to thinking, I don't have a lap top and the
PC the 1500 runs with is connected to the AC mains so I looked up the
rules. A class E station is one characterized as a home station running
off battery power for the transmit and receive gear. So what do you
think, would I be a Class E station? Or does the fact that technically
the PC is part of the radio and is running off the mains violate the
spirit of things? I'm sure I can get clarification from the ARRL but I
though I'd give us something to chew on while we are waiting for the new
notch!
