Mister Wirths,
QUESTION:
Would it be at all useful to us if I brought either my 18AmpHr
rechargeable powerpack, or my spare car battery, so that we have
extra
power sources if required? Both of these use cigarette lighter
adaptors, though the car battery, of course, has poles where clips
could be used instead, if your equipment had them.
Looking Forward...

Indeed. Keeping mike's 18" fully juiced is something I'd like to
see. I too could bring a 30AH battery or a 13A power supply, but I
dont think Mike can connect to them.
However, I have a female cigarette lighter cord connected to aligator
clips. I figure we might be able to clip onto Mike's battery posts
while his battery is still connected to his scope. We'd be running
two batteries in paralell, which should be safe if we get the
polarity right.
I'll bring my cord, if you bring your 18AH supply.
I have this vision of Mike fighting off two large burly guys
armed with wires and batteries intent frankenstiening his beloved
scope. A stuggle in the darkness. Shapes silouhetted by the refected
lights of oblivious horse-riders. Obscure mutterings of "polarity"
and "nagler". Needs some dramatic music.
Hmm. I think need my observing fix.
