Hi, I'm baffled as to why you mention the ISS power budget. Do you have any
references, ARISS or elsewhere, to confirm that the ISS power budget has ever
been raised as an issue ? The one thing the ISS appears to have in abundance is
Solar Power.
The equipment to be installed on the ISS for the HAM-TV project will consume
far more power than the Kenwood TM-D700 ever did.
The KuPS power supply that was built to power the HAM-TV transmitter was
designed to supply power to up to three separate payloads.

The issue of the Kenwood radio being "power hungry" in this thread is my
fault...
I remember to read a info related to this in some place time ago, but
now I can't point you to a reliable source, maybe I'm remembering a
comment in a forum post elsewhere and this (wrong) idea stick to my mind...
Sorry to all about that.
