RE: [Repeater-Builder] Micor UHF Repeater Base 9.6 vdc current requirement?

2010-02-24 Thread Eric Lemmon
During receive only, the draw is about 0.125 amperes. During duplex transmit, the current draw goes up to about 0.355 amperes. These numbers were measured on one Micor station, and I would expect the current draw to vary perhaps +/- 50 mA between various stations. YMMV. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY

In a mobile, that would depend on what's in the drawer unit. The RF preamp, PL encoder, and PL decoder board draw power from the 9.6 volt line. Other options may as well. If memory serves, and I wouldn't recommend you take this to the bank, Motorola specified a maximum current draw of 1.2 amps
