[Skimmertalk] QS1R current consumtion

[Jeff Blaine via Skimmertalk]

It depends on the number of decoders active also.  On a contest weekend, the 
current consumption will go up.

A 2A supply is specified by the maker when running Skimmer Server.

Thanks David,
Running skimmer server, 6 bands at 96 KHz. The same setup had been run
before but power consumption was less (under 1 Amp)
