Re: [IRCA] New amplified loop on the market.

[Steve Ratzlaff <ratzlaffsteve@xxxxxxxxx>]

Current draw for the power inserter version (for receive-only use) is 70 
mA at 12 volts, after I inquired of Larry at W6LVL. So the loop would 
easily run on a small 12V gelcell. I also inquired how robust the preamp 
was for overload resistance from strong signals, and that question was, 
unfortunately, ignored. As contrast, Wellbrook loopamps generally draw 
around 200 mA or more at 12V, and are very robust for 
overload-resistance (and Pixel loopamp current, and robustness, is similar).
