USB Power for WxWorx

Is the HX USB port capable of powering the WxWorx receiver?

I'm not getting a green light on the WxWorx - assumed it would power it. Just ordered the power cable for the WxWorx to try that.

Mine was intermittent, worked sometimes not others. Contrary to the written instructions, Carlos recommended hard wiring to power. He said they were right on the edge, some would work with USB power but others needed a bit more. Since hard wiring to 12 volts, no problem. Btw mine came with a power cord and in line fuse

Thanks

Yes indeed it does require external power.
All is fine with the DC input wired.
