But 99.999% right.
My 1st field day we were battery power, but the batteries were within a few feet of the radio. Lasted ok for the afternoon.

Sometimes fitting, and sometimes not:
“I worked with the navy SEALS”

“I am a NAVY SEAL”
EVEN COOLER!!!
“I worked in the engineering department”

“I was an ENGINEER”

“I couldn’t make it and now I work in a chicken processing plant - except I’m out of work, hooked on pain pills, and can’t do anything!!!”
WOAH - hope you get things figured out, bro!!!
I dated a girl who told me she was a gizzard splitter. She always smelled kinda funky when I picked her up from work.
Buyer beware - the details almost always tell more than the story-teller wants to let out.
I meant it in a positive way, I wasn't being a smartass.

The N8XJK Super Booster was specially designed for use with a radio.
When the voltage from a battery drops, the Super Booster brings it up to a level that allows for optimal transmit. The output level can be set by a trimmer pot to any value up to 15V. The advantage of using the Super Booster is that a Lead Acid battery is rated in Amp-Hours for use down to 10.5V. However, radios require at least 11.7V to transmit. That results in over one-third of amp-hours in the battery that cannot be used for transmitting without a booster.
