Mike,

Usually, I recommend a 6 amp power source for a transceiver that is 
rated for the range of 10 to 20 watts, your power supply will do fine at 
the 5 watt level.  It even may do 10 watts with no problem, but I try to 
rate things conservatively.  My politics may be liberal, but the 
electrons get a conservative consideration.  Hey, it's an election year 
and I have not yet made up my mind :-)

73,
