Can anyone tell me what size power supply is needed to run this Ranger RCI69FFC4 ?
Plus how many AC amps will that power supply draw?

If this is true I'll have to re-think my choice on radios. That's ALLOT of DC amps.I guess I'll need a 220V dedicated circuit. Any ideas????????????

I think the new C4 is a great radio alot of power I like my radio I turn it down on ssb and use it right now with my 70amp astron need to get a 30 or 40 amp astron and hook them together for full power nice, CRUSHING the mudducks on AM no problem with 70amp.sounds good with a 878 desk mike or galaxy desk mike,Get a good 5/8 wave or beam antenna good coax like 400 or 213 you can do it.follow JESUS.

That's a good plan if you like the radio with out a meter and no chrome.
