Dogfaceedsoldier, In theory 25 amps at 13V should be more than enough to run the 5050. I suspect the radio should pull around 15 amps on transmit. Does it work ok on recieve? Do you have anything else running off of that supply? What happens if you try to run a different radio off of that supply? |
