Hi Vic
Just out of curiousity, have you metered the
K3's current draw in receive mode? I
expect to use my K3 at 5w on FD next year, and
want to start planning for the battery/solar
bank to run it.
Yes, actually, it's about 1 amp. It might be less if you don't have the
100w amp installed; it doesn't seem to matter if you turn the power down
to 5 watts with the amp in place. The second RX would also increase the
current drawn.
