In a previous article, (Nathan Young) said: (Paul Tomblin) wrote in message ... I can't remember if I posted this before. A guy in my club made a nice little package for his WX Works setup. You can see some pictures at http://xcski.com/gallery/wxworks Before everyone freaks out - he's got a bunch of stuff in there that you do not need for aircraft only operations. Like the Rat Shack 9V AC-DC regulator, and the DC-AC Inverter. You will note from the captions on the pictures that he's also got it set up so he can plug it into the wall when he is on the ground. I'm not sure why he has the Inverter, I'll ask him. A lot of laptops take 16VDC as their power source, something not readily available in the plane - so perhaps he is using the inverter to power the AC-DC converter that powers the laptop? Sounds a bit cumbersome, but it would work, and is more readily available than finding a 12V-16V DC switcher. -Nathan |
