Hi,
I have had this great radio now since the 11th of April. But yesterday while using it in the field on an 8ah battery it shut off twice. Both times it was on high power.
Today it shut off by itself while on High Power but attached to a 16-20amp power supply (Astron RS 20A). I could see the radio trying to draw more than the battery had, but not more than the 20A power supply could give it. The most the radio can draw is 8amp on full power or am I wrong? Even then it would not, should not draw more than a 16-20 amp power supply attached to the wall. After starting back on its own it works fine. I tried high power again and have not been able to repeat shut down. Seems intermittent.
Anyone else had this problem? Any menu item I need to look at?
