Fire at Brian and Susan Szewczyk's home - no injuries
Hi all: In case you haven't heard from other sources, there was a fire yesterday at Brian Szewczyk (NJ1F) home, causing a lot of damage. Both he and his wife Susan (K1RQ) are fine (and so are their

Re: How to measure current drawn by a 100w transceiver at 25w
?Howard Your question really peaked my interest. I remembered reading in my K3s manual that it has the ability measure the current draw. Had to go back and read the manual to determine the location

David, that¡¯s it!! Thank you! I¡¯m not, um, ¡°currently¡± using powerpoles for the FTDX10, but I should be able to find a new (i.e., replacement) cable from Powerwerx when I buy the meter. Tim,

Re: How to measure current drawn by a 100w transceiver at 25w
Howard, I was calculating transmitting efficiency, so didn't include receive current, so 20 amps is correct. I added 3 amps back at the end to get 8. I like the in-line meter with powerpoles! Even

Re: How to measure current drawn by a 100w transceiver at 25w
Thank you all for your detailed responses! Yes, I wish it was all that simple. (Tim, it looks like you meant to put 23, not 20, in the formula you cited.) What would help is if I still had my Astron

Re: How to measure current drawn by a 100w transceiver at 25w
Hi Howard, Must make several assumptions. The receive current is the same at 25W. The efficiency is 100/(20x13.8)=36.2%. The efficiency does not change at 25W. Therefore, 25W/.362=69W, 69W/13.8V=5

Re: How to measure current drawn by a 100w transceiver at 25w
Howard, If I use the P over IxE with P = 13.8. E =25 then I would be 5.52? Or. Amps = Watts/ Volts. 25 / 13.8 =1.812 A Just guessing. Frank. : ) Sent using the mobile mail app

Re: How to measure current drawn by a 100w transceiver at 25w
? ?Howard Howard, you¡¯re 100% correct on the current draw versus output power. The current draw of you rig operating at an output power of 25 Watts is not as simple as taking the current draw

The simplest answer I can think of is test it with an ammeter. David Gealt KD2BVA COMT, AUXCOMM Warren County EC/RO ENY Northern District ADEC

How to measure current drawn by a 100w transceiver at 25w
My Yaesu HF transceiver is spec¡¯d to draw 23A @ 13.8VDC when transmitting at 100 watts. For receive, it¡¯s spec¡¯d at drawing 3A @ 13.8V. How can I determine how many amps the transceiver draws if
