Brian,
Call me monday, but too many volts is what kills electronics.

I'm a little confused here. I'm working on a 300 ft run of cat5 and
have a question. The radio is acting sparatic. The power supply has
already been upped from a 18v to a 24v. Both 1 amp.
It's not actually mine. It's another's from the list. We were talking
about it. But I am sure that on my 230 ft run of cat 5 that I had to
replace an 18v 1a with an 18v 2a to get the radio to stop rebooting.
The individual I was talking to thought if you up the amps it will kill
the radio.
Lets exaggerate here. I can plug a billion amps in and it will only
draw what it wants, but if I go a volt or two over it fries.

That is correct. Now if you use a 10 amp supply and only need 2 amps and
there is a short up top there is a good chance you will burn your cat 5
cable up.

Time for some ohm law here guys. The radio you are powering is a load in
series with a transmission line that has resistance. The ohms of the
line and the ohms of the load add together to determine the effective
load for determining the amount of current flow that will be drawn. If
you already
