Regarding your Torklift battery box, I am thinking about purchasing one of those however, the width measurement states the box is 8 3/16 wide and my Rpod rack measures 8 1/8 wide. So I called the vendor and they checked their books and that is what the manufacturer says it is???? Well we both know there may some play in that dimension. Could you please confirm your dimensions for me. Thank You |

I went with the Duracell 230Ah because of price and local pickup (at Batteries + Bulbs). Thus far, they've performed well, though I admit that I haven't stressed them.

Hi David,
Thanks for the response...my call is NZ8J, I operate cw mainly. Retired in December of 2012 after 47 years with the AF in one capacity or another and we now plan on doing some traveling and I'll be taking some sort of radio with me. I live just outside of Dayton Ohio. It's nice to see other hams on here. Maybe see you on the air sometime. Tim Ohio179

I'm using those same batteries as well. So far, so good. I used 4 gauge wire and some heavy duty terminals from Lowes. I could not get my crimper to even dent the terminals, so I used a hammer and smashed them onto the wire. The connection is plenty secure. |

First, welcome! It is always good to have another "ham" on the forum. click this link I hope to activate a National Park or two for the ARRL National Parks on the Air. Also, if you go to my page on QRZ.com, there is a link to the Hoosier DX & Contesters site. There is info there on this year's Indiana QSO Party. I'll be portable in Jefferson County (one of our original 15) for the INQP/Indiana Bicentennial Celebration. Oops, almost forgot....my callsign is WA9DU. 73! http://www.qrz.com/ |

David,
I see you mentioned transmitting on your radio, are you by chance a ham radio operator? We are planning on picking up a 179 in about a week and I plan on operating ham radio from it as well. I hope I'm not out of line asking this on this thread. Thanks Tim |

Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look at the Durcell. I sure like your battery box. |
