I'm currently looking for a backup power source to run 3-4 BC996's in th event of a power failure for 30 minutes to an hour minimum. I do have handheld radios, but I'd like to have my scanners remain on to allow me to monitor various channels for work, as I typically need to pay attention during power outages anyways.
My handheld is ok, but doesn't keep up with all of the traffic my scanners do. ( I said all this because I don't want to know about how its easier to just have handhelds.)
Would something like this: Ultra ULT33046 2000 VA 1200-Watt AVR Backup System - UPS w/ Digital Display, 1200-Watt, 6 Outlet (5 Battery Backup/ Surge & 1 Surge Only) at TigerDirect.com
do the trick? I'm not sure how much power a scanner uses to be honest. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
