Hi Joe, As Jesse noted, you can eliminate the Micor power supply all together, if you are running it off an existing 12V DC plant.
I have just uploaded a file in the files section (12vmicor.pdf) that details the mod that I have used on my stations. It uses an LM317 regulator, a couple resistors to set the output voltage to 9.6VDC, and a couple filter caps. I mount it just behind the A&S board in the chassis, to give the LM317 a nice heatsink. USE AN INSULATOR BETWEEN THE LM317 AND CHASSIS. A couple jumpers on the backplane, and you're all set to feed it 12V from your plant. Feed the PA directly from your plant, and it will be happy. I have used this mod on VHF and UHF stations... just check the manual and make sure that the connections are same (there are a number of backplanes out there in the field). Cheers!
