By your math, your 2.2 kw radar would draw 180 amps. The monster alternator would not be cheap in the box, let alone installed. One more time. A 2kw radar draws less than two amps. By the way, one hundredth the power gives you thirty percent of the range. Power in the radar return is proportion to the fourth power of distance. Were you an English major?
