Jesse, It has been my experience one needs a continous duty supply at 2 times the PA output. This is the same for most Ham rigs as far as current draw.
So for 110 W need a 220 W supply or 220W/13.8V = 16 Amps. If one takes some of the Motorola and GE PAs and turns down the power output the current does not drop at the same ratio, but for rated power the times 2 is pretty good mark. If using an Astron I would go with no less than an RS35 and I like putting fans on all, PA and supply. The Micor PA is normally used with the Motorola TPN1110A supply which is farriresonant?. I get these at hamfest in excellent condition for $40. Might try e-bay. Shipping will be a killer...weights about 30 lb. The only thing about the supply is it draws more than normal power under low load due to the type of regulator it has, but they are very good supply. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: Jesse Lloyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2007/09/03 Mon PM 04:53:53 CDT >To: [email protected] >Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Micor 110 W PA > >Hey guys, > >How many amps (ish) does a Micor 110 Watt VHF PA take when operating? > >Jesse > Ron Wright, N9EE 727-376-6575 MICRO COMPUTER CONCEPTS Owner 146.64 repeater Tampa Bay, FL No tone, all are welcome.
