    Phase 11 of the power system wires the radio off the house bank and lists the RFI mitigations. Doing the feedline routing before the DC runs are set is cheaper than moving them afterwards.

    Phase 11 wires the radio and lists the RFI mitigations. Doing the antenna work first means the feedline routing is known before the DC runs are set.

  • Mobile ham, VHF/UHF, low dutydc6.25 W × 24 h = 150 Wh

    Power system build guide Part 1.1 states 150 Wh/day at 11 A TX / 1 A RX, light use, and gives no watts or hours. 6.25 W over 24 h reproduces the 150 Wh. The 150 Wh is the sourced figure; the split is this repository's.
