Re: [Elecraft] Amperage for the KX3 when using an external power supply

2014-05-21 Thread Phil Wheeler
From the specs in back of manual (p. 52): 8 V min, 15 V max. 1 to 2 A typical in transmit; 150 mA minimum receive, typical (backlight off, preamp off, no signal) I'd use a 2-3 A, 13.8 VDC supply. Your Astron should be more that sufficient. Phil w7ox On 5/21/14, 7:12 PM, Joshua Gould wrote:

How many amps is the KX3 designed to take. I know the voltage is up to 14, but I can't seem to find anything on the amperage. I have an Astron SL-11R that powers my FT8800 and was hoping that I could continue using the supply with the KX3... Thanks, Joshua Gould K8WXA ___
