I'm looking at these two radio's.

MXT275
Standby current: 300 mA max, 220 mA typical
Receive current, max audio: 900 mA max, 650 mA typical
Transmit current, high power: 3.2 A max, 2.9 A typical
Transmit current, low power: 1.75 A max, 1.5 A typical
Fuse: 5 A
Power wiring: 18 AWG up to 12 ft, 16 AWG for longer runs

MXT575
Standby current: 300 mA max, 250 mA typical
Receive current, max audio: 900 mA max. 650 mA typical
Transmit current, high power: 10 A max, 8.5 A typical
Transmit current, low power: 3.5 A max, 2.5 A typical
Fuse: 15 A
Power wiring: 14 AWG up to 10 ft, 12 AWG for longer runs

Both are good but you get the full 50 watt with the MXT575 vice 15 watt with the MXT275.
You never have to much fuel unless you are on fire!
