Key West scanner feed outages

The battery bank feeding the UPS in Key West had lost a lot of electrolyte so the power outages were taking out the DSL modem. Better batteries are on order, but for now the existing batteries have been topped off and hopefully will carry the load until the new ones arrive.

The way RadioFeed works, once the computer loses connectivity on its LAN port it doesn't recover. I really should put an Ethernet switch between the computer and the DSL modem to solve that problem, but that will be done on the same trip when we install the new batteries. We should be good for now, though.
