[Lowfer] LF: N1BUG status

[N1BUG]

Good question David. It draws 1.2A at 13V now. I'm guessing a 3A 
supply should be plenty, but probably it won't take that much. This 
is a temporary amp until I can afford something bigger, and I 
thought I might have something to provide 24V or so in my junk. It 
seems I don't. I stupidly got rid of a boat anchor 30V 10A supply a 
year ago! Hindsight... :)

73,
Paul N1BUG
