What do you use to power your equipment, is it ran straight from car battery or a separate power source ?

Hello G7JDH
I am using a leisure battery . so have to take in to charge but would like to trickle charge from car when driving etc, but not to effect the car.
Hope this helps . Regards John

. Hi John
Great set up and that's an interesting radio go box you have there.
Did you make it or is it something that has been repurposed?
Keep up the great work with the pictures.
Are you thinking of going for a CTX callsign?

Hello Ray

The go box is home brew . The bottom section used have the leisure battery in but it to dam heavy. LOL.
As for CTX callsign soon I think .
