A lil swr knowledge

way too many people think this is rocket science its not....

 

more wattage means the radio draws more amps.... period

 

you can run a 98v off 8 gauge right off the batteries...it's a 225 watt radio.... now why would you need 6 gauge on a 80 watt radio that's doing 60 watts ???

 

that radio does not pull a whole lot of amps. ..barefoot that's 4/sure

 

true dat theirs a wire gauge formula for wattage and amp draw ...meaning the maximum amperage draw....

 

my radio draws about 24 amps on am. 35/40 on side band depending
