I'm reading the Astron specification sheets that I've used in commercial radio work for decades. You can see the specs for yourself on-line here:
http://www.astroncorp.com/dcdc.html As you can see, an Astron 35 is rated at 25 Amps Continuous and 35 watts ICS. That page also defines ICS as "50% Duty Cycle 5 min. on 5 min. off" That's been the definition of ICS for many decades. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Hisashi T Fujinaka [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 10:43 AM To: Ron D'Eau Claire Cc: 'Robert Nobis'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Reliable DC Power Supply for K3/P3 As far as I know, they are NOT rated Intermittent COMMERICIAL Service. They're rated Intermittent COMMUNICATIONS Service, which is something they made up. It's way lower than you think. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
