Interesting...
"Your radio uses power only 35% of the time when transmitting CW, and about
25% during normal Voice SSB operation."
But a lot higher percentage if you run RTTY or some other digimodes. Or you
have "a lot" of speech processing and play with contests!
(They do an adapter from Molex to PP anyway for the DC side.)
Like your contrymen say about automotive stuff. "There's no substitute for
Cube's" if you want power.
Take care peep's. There's no mention of CE, FCC or UL (safety) approvals, or if
there is any over-voltage protection (for your expensive radio, and/or other DC
powered kit.)
I suspect too, that small fan might make an anoying noise. (If it shifts enough
air to do any good.)
