I use the Astron RS-50 A. Run 2 icom (7300 and 9700) + bunches of other stuff 
that need power/. I bought 50 A because sometimes both radios are transmitted 
simultaneously, and I always wonder what I will purchase next and worry about 
buying a new power supply.

Subject: [BVARC] Power supply for home

 

I'm looking for a power supply to power my radios at home.     I currently have 
a Yaesu FTM-400 and a Yaesu FTDX-10.    The FTM-400 draws a max of 12 amps and 
the FTDX-10 draws 21 amps max.   I do not see ever transmitting on both at the 
same time, with that I feel a 25amp power supply should be fine.  I'm looking 
at the Astron SS-30M-AP  power supply which provides 25 amps normal and 30 amps 
peak.     The other option is the Astron SS-50M-AP which provides 40 amps 
normal and 50 amps max.   

 

Is there a reason why to go with the larger power supply?

 

Thanks
