It's becoming winter and the radio bug has me thinking about getting broadcasting --- finally.
I've managed to collect a few of the Talking House AM Transmitters this year (ahh 6 of them now --- version 5's).
My transmitter location is off grid. No main line power. We'll be running from DC power, solar fed to deep cycle batteries.
The Talking House AM units have some spify ground allegedly through the 3rd prong ground on the power lead. Since I don't have such, can't supply such. As I recall this is just electrical ground.
Anyone see issue with feeding the Talking House with a properly sized barrel adapter with just the positive and negative power leads? Direct DC power in.
I run all of my equipment from a battery. Go for it..
How long have you ran a TH unit from DC?
I ran a Rangemaster and a SSTran from my shack with a 12-24 volt converter through Cat-5. I don't believe either unit pulled anymore than ~120 Mills. (I have over 800 aHr. reserve in my battery) Less power than a 3 watt lawn light..
