Power conversion for x6100
|
Hey y'all,
I've heard some talk here about the x6100 overheating during digital mode use, so I bought a fan to mitigate that some time ago. It works well. It keeps the x6100 cool.
What I am wondering is instead of putting a band aid on the problem, that maybe it would be be better fixing it for good, so the band aid is not needed. Hence a Buck converter to convert 13 - 13.8v down to about 10v. Is what I am hearing? 10v? I still want 10w TX output.
So, I was thinking of buying this product on Amazon:
It looks beefy. Has anyone used this product to do the 13.x voltage down to say 10v? If so, has there been any problems with using it with the radio?
As the battery drains during use, does the voltage from the buck converter stay the same or do you have to fiddle with that too?
Anyone found a better way, or a product that works well for this?
