MT1500 Electrical Requirements?? Voltage and AMP Draw

Post by Jongage »

Looking to make a battery emlinator from an old battery. I believe that the radio runs on 7.5v however I do not know the amp draw??

Can someone confirm 7.5v and know the amp draw?

Thanks

From the Basic Service Manual...

Nominal Voltage - 7.5 volts
Range - 6 to 9 volts

Transmit Current Drain (Typical)
700/800MHz - 1250mA
VHF - 1900mA
UHF Range 1 (380-470MHz) - 2100mA
UHF Range 2 (450-520MHz) - 2000mA

Receive and Standby currents are around 220mA and 80mA
