Depends on the version of the regulator board... sometimes it even fires when you don't want it to. > I turned the voltage up on my VS-50M Astron to overcome the > voltage drop in the Rigblaster PRWgate PG40 that I use between > the power supply and battery.

Sometimes you need to insert a current limiter in series with the load to get the VS to come up with a heavy load already in place.
