Another vote for the RM-35. I have had mine for over 30 years. Not an issue.
Note however that Astron over specs their power supplies. They claim that the RS-35 will do 25A continuous. It will not. It gets too darn hot. Given the heatsink, it should do about 20 continuous. This is with static air cooling, no forced air. That being said, the RS-35 powered all 12 volt equipment in my shack including the 120W HF radio, TNC, 50W 2m radio for packet and dx cluster, and any othe vhf or other radios that I wanted on. I have seen the ammeter move past 33A when the SSB voice peaks combine with the transmit cycle of the packet radio, with no issues. 73 Gene K1NR K2, KX3 On Tue, 16 Apr 2013 21:05:18 -0700 (PDT) Wes Stewart <[email protected]> wrote: > Use your meter.
