G'day all,
In the user manuals of all my Pro-163/164 scanners, the specifications indicates the radio draws 200 milliamps.
This Pro-652 does not indicate.
Because we live Off-Grid [solar power & batteries], I like to know just how much each electrical appliance, TV and Radio draws.
The 120vac to 12vdc power supply for this radio has the Input and Output info but I'm not sure which I use to calculate milliamps or watts.
I know that: E x I = P [watts] BUT WHICH "E" [AC or DC]???
If I calculate 120vAC x 250 mA I get = 30 watts.
If I calculate 13.8vDC x 600mA I get = 8.28 watts
Help?
