RHC: Bottom line, directions say it needs a full 1.6 amps of current
draw at 12 volts during transmission. Unless you have that spare in
the panel after powering other devices, use a 3A/12volt output power
supply with a separate backup battery. I'm putting one on line today,
and I'm taking no chances with that personally.
