My Orion draws 19 - 20 A in CW key down at full power 100W. RX draws almost 3 
A, when the software is loading, it draws 2 A @ 13.8 V

I use MFJ Switching PS 4225MV capable od delivering 25A steady and up to 32 A 
peaks. 
Works very well has V and A meters, adjustable, internal fan and car type 
receptacle.
