Tony, if you get a chance please post the measured current draw here
on RAS.
If you'll recall, I suggested the GTX320 a while back on the basis of
having shoehorned one into my HP-18 panel. Eric Greenwell asked about
current draw, and I didn't have a good answer (I couldn't get a draw
value that I trusted) but I was pretty sure it was less than an amp
for the xpdr and only about 200 ma for the encoder. It'd be good to
see what your draw is, even if it is a base draw. If possible, maybe
see what the draw is during Ident when you know its transmitting.
Thanks again, Bob K.
