Re: Average Current Draw

Daniel,
Are you asking about all electronics? I would guess that the Crio, Radio, camera, DSC, and several no load speed controllers will likely draw as much as 20 amps peak but typically much less. A typical ham power supply ought to do the trick. If you add the compressor or some motors, most power supplies will trip off on current overload.
