Has anyone tried using a DC-DC voltage converter such as this DC DC 100W 3 35V 12V to 3 5 35V Boost Step Up Module Power Supply LED Voltmeter | eBay to power a 396XT? Has anyone measured the powered-on, non-battery-charging current draw for the DC input jack?
My goalis to power it from USB, since it's almost exclusively on control channel decode duty connected to a laptop. (I understand that the radio needs 6 volts DC, while USB supplies 5).
