I am just speccing up a solar system and I have checked the data sheets but cannot see it anywhere, what is the power consumption of the R5H card?



Thanks,




Andrew

310mA@3,3V RX only
1,6A@3,3V RX and TX at full power

OK so 5.28watts maximum draw per card.

Thanks Normis.

Normis...

you said power consumption is..
310mA@3,3V RX only
1,6A@3,3V RX and TX at full power

This mean we have to use at lease 1.6A current power adapter?

1.6 @ 3.3v
Convert to power (Watts).

Add up the total wattage required for all devices including router board, and power loss over the cable.
The convert back to Current for the supply voltage.

Basic electronics should be a required aptitude in this business.
It is (or at least was) a requirement for ham radio license.

I agree

At the very least practice due diligence, by trying to learn the basics,
as the Basics are extremely important.

There are a lot of good books.

Fun to play with also.
