Radio is still sitting in the box and I've not done a lot with it other
than replace the filters, chop off the power connector and replace it
with power poles. Made an adapter to ground the brown wire to make it
fire up in a low power mode. I've read several times about when it
powers on it draws 20+ amps, is that the case if you have it set to a
QRP power setting or just the brown wire grounded ? Thinking about
taking it on a cruise in cruise and how big of a power supply I might
need if I'm thinking QRP ops.

Hullo R.,

While the title and original thrust of this piece is that of HF rigs on battery power, enough related information that may be useful is presented here.

To whit, one may infer from the notes and table what current capability of a power supply may satisfy a given output power setting.

I can't find an index or landing page for this site (perhaps he only uses it as a repository) however here is a direct link to the piece. There are other interesting articles or notes there.
