I use 2x SS-30M which power 5 high current devices (K3/P3, TS790A, IC910H and 2 brick amps). Each power supply is only capable of powering one of these devices during transmit, but since I don't transmit on multiple radios concurrently, that's not a problem. So, unless you need to transmit on the K3 and VHF radio at the same time, you can get by with a smaller/lighter/cheaper supply. Of course nothing wrong with overhead and room for expansion! 73, Josh W6XU On 11/19/2013 9:54 AM, Robert Nobis wrote: > Everyone, > > Thank you.
