[aprssig] Power For a Lap Top

[Ken Kinyon]

I have run my laptop quite successfully and extensively on a variable output
voltage DC-DC converter that I bought on EBay for about $30.00. It came with
several different power plugs.  I can run different devices by selecting the
proper output and plug.
