Power supply requirements
Posted: Sat May 22, 2021 9:07 pm
Hi I’m new user waiting for his radio. In preparation I want to have a battery powered ( big li-ion) supply ready for use. User spec gives 13.8 volts +-5%. But please for receiving what is the drop out / over voltage range ? Reason is that I want to use a 4S battery pack that will float at 16.8 volts with forward biased power diodes to drop the voltage to 13.8 volts on transmit but will float the volts up a bit higher on receive. Using Li-ion batteries doesn’t match up well with 13.8 volt supplies, but it’s what I have handy.
Regards Bob
