Dick, the Pegasus uses 20A at 100 Watts output, so the Astron 20A PS
should work. I usually run about 35W output so I can switch to any band
without tuning. The meter on the PS reads 10A at 35W output.
I cut the length of my long wire and put a matching
transformer on it so it has less than 3:1 vswr on any HF band.
