Example: their V24B12C200B converter module takes 18-36 volts in, 12
volts out (programmable from 10% to 11% of this, so you could get 13.2
out), efficiency 85%, 200 watts output. Current limit is 17 amps
minimum, 19.2 amps typical.

I suspect, since 'up to 8 amperes may be drawn', that
he'll have a hard time meeting the '17 amps minimum'
spec...

Sorry, I was unclear. What the phraseology means is "The converter's
maximum current output is limited to a value which might, in some
cases, be as low as 17 amperes, but is typically around 19.2 amperes."

I didn't mean to imply that you _must_ draw 17 amperes from the
converter in order for it to work. There doesn't appear to be a
significant lower limit - load reguulation is given as 0.2% typical
"no load to full load, nominal input" as long as you haven't trimmed
the converter to a lower output voltage.

Dave,

Even though you may have been unclear, REAL radio amateurs knew
exactly what you meant - ignore wise-ass comments from those trying to be
a bit more clever than others - it illustrates various weaknesses .....

Hey Nick... chupe' mis huevos. It was *not* clear, and Dave
knew it, and copped to it.

During the "Tio Paco" (Franco) era in Spain, the story goes that the
Madrid newspaper printed the picture of a single egg on the front page.
Underneath was printed: "Donde esta el otro?"

Franco`s officials didn`t think it funny and levied heavy penalties on
the paper and everyone concerned.

Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI

Oh, was Franco like Hitler in that regard, as well?
