Well the manual says it draws 14VA at 120vac. So to translate that to 12vdc current draw would be:?
So 14va*.7 ( .7 is the typ power factor of a std offline ps) = 9.8W of real power. So I = p/v, 9.8/ 12 = .82A? so your power supply should be fine. I have a frg-7, but never measured the DC current. Of course it will be less if you run it at 13.8V.? Hope this helps.

Hi Guy!

Hello Hans,
Don't worry, the needed current by the Frog is less than 500 mA. I don't use the internal PS of mine since a long time but an external 13.8 V one and I don't need anymore to put the lighting off to stop this rumble we all know.

Hi group, and thanks for having me!
Anyone who can tell the current draw for a FRG-7, when using an external 12V PSU? I have a nice linear little PSU, but it's only capable of delivering 0,9 A continously.
Thanks,
