After a long trip to a country I will not name, I came back with a few interesting pieces of experience with the ABP power converter. This particular item works really well given an air conditioned enviroment, but when it comes to fans and 24hr comms in a hot enviroment, this piece of gear is worthless. We (company) blew a bunch of these items. I will say it is nice to have 24v and 12v conversion.
If you don't already know, I recommend a MRC-6 or MXF-100 for your wall power converter for your radio's that are compatible. Car batteries in series are a great way to run multiple radios to include most types. We ran a couple of satcom radios, 1 HF radio, and an FM radio for 52Hrs while we worked to restore power.

Are there any other tricks out there? If you are not comfortable discussing here than please PM me.

Take it easy.
