To optimise the size of the supply to the load, one could examine the rms current draw v peak current draw. It might only be a case of fitting a large capacitor close to the radio (perhaps in a tiny box or heat shrunk "speed bump" in the cable) to supply those current peaks from a very small supply. This technique is used in some supplies that use super-capacitors and a small switchmode for 100W transceivers. This has the advantage of creating much lower switching noise which is easier/smaller/cheaper to filter out.
