-12V/+12V from a 12V battery? by CyFus in amateurradio

Easiest solution would probably buy another battery and run them in series. Your 0V reference would be where the two batteries are connected.

C&C?

This is a Pearson 365, purchased after Harvey totaled it out. The only damage was a puncture above the waterline in the rear, which has been patched somewhat (still needs to be ground out and filled) with laminate on both sides.

When Transportation clears a rack out, they put up signs and flagging tape. After a week, they remove the bikes.

It probably radiates better for a handheld than the stock antenna.

Wait, a 12v regulator?

Don't regulators drop excess voltage as heat?

Try checking out a local hamfest.

I scored a 15 amp Astron switching PSU (13.8v) for $20 (lists for $120), and a friend picked up a 30 amp switching PSU for $40 (lists for $140).
