John,

Well, I use a Power Station (12vdc battery pack) in my car. I mounted my Yaesu
FT-1500M to it, put the charging cord into the cigarette lighter, and it works
fine. Plus, I can remove the battery pack and rig within 60 seconds for theft
deterence. I run the rig up to 50 watts out but generally at 25.

73s,

Evan
