x-in-man Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Give me a day or two to dig it out if I still have it, but Im sure I have a Watson 25 amp switch mode PSU around somewhere. Good for a 100W HF set if thats your thing, but did a 50W VHF set no problems. Stopped using it because it did not running in a cold shack, but was fine when it was used in doors. Yours if/when I find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurricanII Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 CTEK car battery chargers are intelligent in the amount of power they supply and the one I have can also drive 12v kit with no car battery. I got mine from www.hamiltonclassic.co.uk - £40 for a 12v charger. I would check with them that this particular model will power 12v kit with no battery tho as I have the heavy duty 7000 series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
