There is also a set of resistors on the back that you can short to set it to 5v. I will try that as well. [email protected]> wrote:

Farhan: We used one of those in the another project. The voltage is adjusted with a small Phillips head screw driver. Just be aware that it is very easy to torque the set screw right off the board. It

Peter, At present we use an LM33, linear regulator to drop 13.8v to 5v. This takes almost 1.5A current on rx. With this mod, the radio is running cool and the current draw is less than 0.5A. - f
