If you39re trying to use some of the more modern 100 watt Amateur Radios particularly the Icom IC-7000 etc while out portable, you may have noticed that below about 125 volts the radio can shut off due to low voltage Don39t despair There is a fix for this in the form of a nifty little device called the N8XJK Super Booster This video runs through some of the booster39s features and shows you how it works Something I don39t mention in the video is the booster also filters the DC going into your radio too For more details check out the manufacturer website as detailed in the video NOTE I do not represent the manufacturer or claim to I am simply very happy with the product and feel that this booster may help other Amateur Radio Operators who are experiencing the same power issues i was with my Icom IC-7000 or similar power-hungry Amateur RadioA device like this could potentially save lives Imagine you39re on a boat that has run the battery down due to unsuccessfully trying to start it39s
