From HFsignals:
Power Supply: 6V to 9V.
Receive Current consumption: 300 mA
Transmit Current consumption: 1.5 to 3A (depending on the Drive settings)
There were discussions about modifying the unit to handle higher voltages, but as I recall Farhan made a conscious decision to this voltage range for several reasons, which he explained earlier.

What is the acceptable range for voltage of the battery/power supply for the zBitx?
I understand that with higher voltages there is the issue with heat dissipation as the voltage is stepped down. Is there any advantage to higher voltage such as higher RF power output? ?
What is the minimum voltage? ?Is a 6 volt LiFePo adequate??
