i use a 18 watt solar panel for charging 2 sealed lead acid baterys for my yeasu ft817 its great i can sit out on my backyard and works great

The set up will recieve on low power when you transmitt is where you need the additional panels to put the fire in the wire. With it being so portable you can take your system to an overpass or hill top and improve the ability to get out farther. Eventually the very few that have a setup will be the only long range communicators.

Most radios consume anywhere from 10 to 14 amps depending on how high you have your wattage output set. Many of the HF radios like my TS 2000 will put out 100w and I believe it will draw 14 amps while doing so. There is a math calculation for it. Anyway I am interested in going solar/battery backup for my Uhf repeater here in Washington so that is why I am here at this video.

Yeah, but what is that, a 20 Watt panel?
Seems kinda small to charge a battery.
How much power does the rig consume?

That's a great idea to get away from all the electrical noise. And since it's running on solar power, it'll work even during a power failure.

You can build your own solar panels and solar cars <<those are fun for under $35, you need copper and you need to heat it until its black, theres more to it than that- you can google SOLAR CAR and you can get the Plans and all the items you need to do so. Same with solar panels, you dont need to spend hundreds or thousands as some have suggested here. I Found loads of them. Also consider a SOLAR CELL to use for the battery instead of actual batteries. Hope this helps! Peace!

Where can i get a 50 Ah battery ?
VO1GXG 4 years ago
Any battery supplier should have this. You will be asking for a sealed lead acid / gel type rated at 12VDC @ 50Ah. Be warned these are heavy so you may want to pick up locally if possible. You can also google it and purchase from online.
