Radio requires 13.8 volts, I only have a 12 volt battery system

Brass knuckles on or off as needed!

Sometimes fitting, and sometimes not:

“I worked with the navy SEALS”

COOL!

“I am a NAVY SEAL”

EVEN COOLER!!!

“I worked in the engineering department”

COOL!

“I was an ENGINEER”

way COOOLER!!!!!!

“I couldn’t make it and now I work in a chicken processing plant - except I’m out of work, hooked on pain pills, and can’t do anything!!!”

WOAH - hope you get things figured out, bro!!!
 
Easy fix...replace half of your 6v Trojan batteries with 8v Trojan batteries...If the radio won't work at 14v then you have other problems.

The N8XJK Super Booster was specially designed for use with a radio.

When the voltage from a battery drops, the Super Booster brings it up to a level that allows for optimal transmit. The output level can be set by a trimmer pot to any value up to 15V. The advantage of using the Super Booster is that a Lead Acid battery is rated in Amp-Hours for use down to 10.5V. However, radios require at least 11.7V to transmit. That results in over one-third of amp-hours in the battery that cannot be used for transmitting without a booster.
