If you are only running 5W then your battery will last you a very long time. The antenna is up over 600 ft so its got excellent coverage across the city.

Chris, I can use only 5w on xmit and get a very low noise repeater connection. My antenna is a vertical dipole at 20'.

If it's a mobile rig, you wont need anything more than low power from the Heights.. it will last you a good while... probably 500mA on receive and 2A on xmit (on low power).

Just tested my repeater connection from the Heights. I have 100 amp 13 v., Lithium-Iron-Phosphate system here. Cell phone is working but no cable internet. We have no power here but are getting by.
