Hi folks. I have 6x 12v10Ah batteries that I rotate in my go-pack, and I have a dedicated LiFePo4 charger to top them off. I attach my radio's powerpoles directly to the batteries and can switch them out fast. That system works great on the road or in the shack... but I've been doing more work in the shack than on the go lately. So I've been considering getting an AC power supply. My dedicated shack space is small so I'd prefer something on the smaller/lighter side.?I assume anything that can power the 857 will also work for the 817.?
The FP-1030A the official recommendation per the 857 manual, costs about $250-300 US. DX still sells them.?
Pros: Bespoke specs, reliable performance, V / A meters. Cons: Price, bulk, weight.?
For the 817 I've found used Yaesu FP12s and FP4s can be found for $50 or less. ?
Pros: compact, affordable, and reliable (if intact). Cons: Underpowered for the 857 past QRP.
Any recommendations for a compact / affordable / reliable alternative for both radios would be greatly appreciated...
PS: Of course I meant DC power supply... those fat fingers are hard at work today!?
