Great video

[@W6IWN_Radio]

Thanks!

[@phebert140]

Tnx for the video, love that location! What size battery did you use for the radio and amp combination?

[@W6IWN_Radio]

Thanks! I was using the internal battery in the radios and a bioenno power 12Ah LiPo Battery. amzn.to/3X7YSNp

[@W6IWN_Radio]

The 12Ah is pushing it for that amp. You would get more life out of a larger battery. 15-30Ah.

What battery are you using and what is the AMPerage draw with both the radio and the Amp? thanks... Art W1SWL

[@W6IWN_Radio]

@arthurgumbus3969 Hello Art, I was using the bioenno 12Ah batteryamzn.to/4dIEdpj rated 20amp continuous 40amp peak. The XPA125B specs says: Transmit Current Draw: @ max output 30 Amps
Current parameters: Standby 260mA @Max Launch: 30A@Max
Receive Current Draw: @ max 700 mA. However, driving the amp with 1-3Watts only draws 11-18amps. The 20Ah battery amzn.to/3zYtl97 would be better for longer operation and 5Watt drive. I was using the internal battery in the X6200 in the video. The radio power consumption is: Standby: 650mA @Max
Transmission: 3A @Max
I hope that helps.

For the price and bunch of equipment you could just get the icon 7300 for about $900 and a way better set up. Less stuff too.

Thanks for watching 😃
