I have an Argosy and think it would fun to use it as a portable rig. Has anybody built up a portable supply for it? The listed specs say it draws .5 A on RX and 9 A. Max. Is it really 2 A. total at low power ( 5 W)? as an extrapolation ? The FT-817 runs about 2A on transmit aso I would think I would be in that range. At least one person is using a 5000 mah battery as a supply for the 817. Just thinking out load.
