[amsat-bb] Re: Powering downconverters

["Bill Acito" <w1pa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about a DC-DC converter designed for use with laptops in cars or on 
commercial flights...  the one for my thinkpad goes 12v to 16V... Radio 
shack use to sell a universal one, with adjustable output voltage.  I have 
one that I use when I travel. Not cheap, but it may be a starting point.

Wasn't there an article in QST lately about stepping a battery 12V up a bit?

Here's something I found on a google search:
