An off topic question - I'm not at all familiar with the GE Power supplies for 
the Mastr II 
but was wondering if there is a problem with floating the battery with one of 
them? Has 
any body online here ever done that? Seems like it would be totally different 
than with
the Astrons.

You should adjust the output voltage of your Astron power supply to
provide the correct float voltage for your battery bank when the radio
is in standby mode.  You'll find that the voltage going to the radio
will vary only a small amount between standby and transmit modes.  The
best part of this arrangement is that nothing happens if the commercial
power fails or the power supply goes belly-up; the diode prevents the
power supply crowbar circuit from shorting out or dragging down the
battery bank.
