Thanks for that Lamont.
The device is a transceiver and the power usage on:
Transmit is 850VA and on
Receive is 210VA

Wow John those figures are high -- is it a tube type radio?

Example a solid state Icom IC-746 PRO - URL:
http://www.icomamerica.com/en/produc...fications.aspx

Power supply requirement 13.8V DC ±15%
Power consumption Tx Max. power
23A
Rx Standby 2.2A
Max. audio 3.0A


That's 317 Watts Tx and 41 Watts Rx (max figures)
