The C42 is a fairly tame beast current wise. Assuming you are running it on a 24V supply, it draws the following amps:

Rx 4.9amps
Tx LP 5.5 amps
TX HP 8.3 amps

Communication range was rated at 15 miles HP and 4 miles on LP. The CPP2 driving it provides 11 amps in 24V DC mode and 22 amps in 12V DC mode, so it is more than capable of running the C42, a standard 19-set or even a vehicular mounted PRC-77 rig with a nice reserve.
