The KX1 manual suggests it uses 300-700 mA on transmit, depending on voltage. Assuming you don't need to rectify (or use a ultra-low dropout voltage regulator) it should work but may limit your power output to less than 3W max. Some home / small office Ethernet hubs and switches use largish wall-warts, I have a couple with 12Vdc, 1A wall-warts. You may need to add a low-pass filter to filter any 60 Hz interference and harmonics, such a passive 2nd or 3rd-order RC or LC low-pass filter. -Michael, VE3TIX _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
