Trusdx making over 9W with 15V, SAFE?
Posted: 14 Mar 2023, 01:06
I was reading other posts here and it says 15V is safe. The Trusdx manual says max 16V.
Mine is making over 9W on 80m at 15V. Just wanting to confirm that's safe. Pushing close to twice the rated power.
Also, on mine, 40m is the band with the least power. Does that make sense?
(BTW, I got 15V from a USB-C PD -> DC barrel jack "trigger" cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGF9DX8J I also built a cable with a $1 boost converter to get 13.8 from a dumb 5V USB port on a cheap $8 USB power bank. And I've run straight off a 4S LiFePO4 battery. All work. IMHO, powering the trusdx via a USB power bank makes a slick looking, lightweight setup.)
