Spectra current draw?

Post by jantman »

Can anyone give me an extimated *maximum* current draw (Tx, Rx, and standby seperately) for a 45W VHF trunk-mount Spectra?

Thanks,

Mike, the post got moved to the correct forum...


Spectra's draw about 1/3 to 1/2 amp standby,

1/2 to 2 amps receive more current with the louder volume setting.

TX about 10 to 15 amps...

The current tru the Green or IGN lead is neglegable, less than 1/4 amp.

Hope this helps..

sorry about the wrong forum... I was looking at both forums in separate tabs, I guess I posted it to the wrong one.

Thanks for the info... yes, it's very helpful.
