I am looking for info on the amount of current that the Astro Saber III will draw when the radio is Transmitting.
I want to relocate the battery apart from the radio, and need to know the minimum AWG of wire that I should use.
Max length will be 1 meter
Thanks
BTW: The radio is VHF

- What radios do you own?: XTS2.5K-Q, ASpectra, MT2K
Re: Current draw of the Astro Saber III
I would say about 2 amps maximum, closer to 1.5. 22AWG or even 24AWG will probably do just fine for you, at that short of a distance.
