Voltage booster

With my new ic-7000 now settled in and the bluetooth headset and modded fist mic working together I am now looking at sorting out the 12v side of things.

You see, the trouble with the 7000 is that it won't run full power with a battery, no matter how short the cables or how fresh the battery is. So, I have been trialing an MFJ voltage booster. This has given a noticeable boost to my rf output, however the product is not as well designed as another unit from TG Electronics, this unit which is rated to 40 amps, is a sealed unit with no nasty binding terminals. I can hook it up with my Powerpole connectors in line with a marine isolator which is siting on the shelf. I can then flick the switch for 13.8 volts!
