section 4.3, Hans has provided a graph of output power against voltage
Looking at the charts I'm not sure Hans has said how to get it to work at 5 Volts when the regulator must have an output a fair bit less than that. I guess maybe the QDX will still work?
I run mine at 7.5 Volts and have series diodes to feed the PA dropping that to around 5 Volts, I Watt output.
I do not think I ever ran them at 12 volts, 8 Watts output seems scary!
