Are you serious about Sirio antenna's Junk? what have you been smoking? LOL:)

Yes, I am just testing, at full pwr, but hardly ever run it there on regular basis. Usually 60 percent or so.

Update.. been running 2970n2 at full pwr for 3 days now..drawing about 48 amps at 250 w out.. so far so good.. fans come on when getting warm, shut down on time.. works great.. so far so good.. go figure.. just a pwr hog.. :laugh: Doug

I don't want to say on here, because I don't want to do that sort of thing.. but I have my questions as well.. Doug.. :redface:

Yea, I hear lot of different opinions and options.. I appreciate all of the feedback very much.. The radio works awesome as it is, but the high power draw is in question.. I think I will just use it as is on a 70 amp Astron and see how long it last before I blow it up.. LOL.. I will keep you...

Nice Dog houses..very organized..don't you love it? are we all crazy? LOL..but very fun and healthy fun Doug

on a 70 amp power supply..(Astron) this radio does 315 watts SSB and draws 55 amps..go figure.. it should what draw max of 40 or so amps at the output?

good thought, but I have tried this radio at 3 different locations with different power supplies..same result.. :headbang
