@F1RUM Note that consumes 2A current on RX. It is quite significant current draw for portable ops.

@oh8hub @F1RUM It's a bit less (abt 1A) but yes, quite a lot.

@df9hc @F1RUM Yes, according to 's measurements RX current consumption is about 1A.

However, the radio specs say 2A. I confused these two.
