Hi.

 

I'm looking for a way to run ham gear in my apartment when the power goes
out.  I figure a battery backup is the way to go.  I need to run a desktop
computer on it as well.  I can use an inverter to run the PC, and I'll hook
the radio directly to the backup.  I was hoping that UPS units would do the
job, but the ones I got only lasted about 10 to 15 minutes.  I know a
generator would be ideal, but I don't think the complex would let me put one
outside, plus the fumes wouldn't be the healthiest thing if I ran it inside
the apartment. <grin>

 

Thanks for any ideas.
