That's NOT a good idea. The vibrations from wind and such will either
loosen the connector (causing duplex noise) or crack the outer conductor
on the Heliax (causing duplex noise). ALWAYS use a flexible cable when
going from Heliax to an antenna. LMR400 should do nicely.

How long would the RS-35M run in current limit at
34 Amps? (This is about 97%.)
I have noticed that the internal ammeter sometimes

The question should be how long before the Astron RS-35M burns up running at

This is the weakness with the Astron supplies. If you load them up to

Well... I have noticed that there are some RS-35M's out there that are
heavier-duty than others. I have one with a heavier heatsink, larger
xfmr, stud-type SCR, and an extra filter cap. I guess they must have
started making them cheaper since...

The low split (30-36 MHz) models should tune to 10M fine. The high split

My first thought is that the Icom won't be selective enough to use in
duplexed service.
Look for some commercial gear like Mastr II, Exec II, Micor, etc. It can be
found quite cheaply and will work well. Ham grade equipment seldom provides
decent service in duplex operation.

What you need is not a power supply, but a battery charger. As I mentioned
in my prior post, you need to have a way to set the current limit so that
you don't overload the power supply. Battery chargers are designed to
do this. Also you need to make sure the terminal charge voltage on the battery

The size of supply you will need are dependent on
several factors, such as peak current draw, average
current draw, size of battery (in AH), and length of
time to reach full charge, after an outage. Usually a
single 35 or 50 amp supply will suffice, unless you
are running high power or multiple
I missed the original post - was the power supply not only charging the
