question is what is that value how do i calculate how big a battery i
need at the know constants?



Rich the reason i thought of cap's was both the short key down time and
the article in cq of this new powersupply that uses a few 5farads it
got me thinking if it could be modified to do dc to dc regulation
rather than 120v ....maybe i was pushing it, then i thought of
supercapacitors i dunno

I got the pricing from jadoo's site for the unit plus 6 container combo.
And you will still need something to refill.

On the battery, when we used to VHF contest with a light (600W)
generator and power supplies, we would put a 25AH battery across each 15
amp supply and we could draw 40 or 50 amps on CW/SSB peaks with no
issues. So you would probably be well served by one of the 7AH UPS
batteries from a place such as Batteries Plus. They cost about $25 and
are about 7"Lx2"Wx4"H.
