Our club has recently acquired a TKR-750 and a TKR-850,
to replace an aging hodgepodge of repeater components. Both
the TKR's are co-located and share a Link RLC controller.
We want to use the excellent battery-backup provisions of
the TKR's,
WHAT excel
We put up a solar powered repeater about 4 years ago using the Wal Mart marine
battery and have already had to replace it. We went with two golf cart 6 volt
batteries in series and are much happier with this arrangement. They are true
deep cycle batteries not designed to start a marine outboar
Chappy,
I am not as enthusiastic about the TKR's "excellent" battery backup feature
as you are; I would say it is "okay." It is only designed to trickle-charge
a backup battery, not recharge it after an extended outage. It may take
several days or a week to fully recharge an exhausted battery.
