Default Garmin 430 current draw
Can anybody tell me approximately how many amps the Garmin 430 draws when it is switched on but not transmitting COM.

Walter, does it offer a load value while transmitting too?

Just curious.

Never did find this exactly but I believe it's 5A. But don't quote me

My Load Analysis spreadsheet if you want it. It's not complete but it's
a pretty good start. I believe they use it as a handout in the aeroelectric
class.
