[TenTec] Argosy (I)

[John]

I have an Argosy and think it would fun to use it as a portable rig.  
Has anybody built up a portable supply for it?  The listed specs say it 
draws .5 A on RX and 9 A. Max.  Is it really 2 A. total at low power ( 5 
W)?  as an extrapolation ?  The FT-817 runs about 2A on transmit  aso I 
would think I would be in that range.  At least one person is using a 
5000 mah battery as a supply for the 817.   Just thinking out load.
