We spend countless hours comparing radios, antennas, coax, tuners, and accessories. But how much attention do we give to the one thing that makes all of it work: power?
Your radio may say 100 watts on the box, but is your power system actually allowing it to deliver 100 watts? In this session, we’ll explore the often-overlooked role power plays in station performance. We’ll look at power supplies, batteries, voltage drop, wire sizing, connectors, current requirements, and what really happens to your radio as voltage falls under load.
