Yes that is an issue, that will melt things at that temp! Do they say 24V max??

Technically it can handle the voltage, and it can also supply that current, but not both at the same time. It is not unusual for two capabilities to be in conflict with each other. What they should do is provide proper specifications so that a potential user could make an informed decision on the suitability.

I am more concerned about the decision to make the case smaller at the cost of RF performance. Putting those components and traces under the antenna shows that they either don't know what they are doing, or that they don't really care. Obviously styling was of greater concern for them.

Yes, they have 24V in their specifications, but it seems like they silently change his minds , because now it's only "between 5v and 15v" (Unfortunately they forgot to tell this to their backers in Update). It seems like they have some problem in their radio - they can listen, but can't answer ...

15V is still too hot....

Wonder why they can't answer?? Anything blocking the signal??
