Jerry, out of curiosity, how did you connect the two power supplies?
What provision was made to ensure that they would share the load
equally? Were their unloaded voltages the same or could they be set to
be the same?
I am using the RM-35 version that allows for setting the output voltage
and the current limit to drive either my Kachina or my IC-756PRO. I also
have an Astron RM-20 which I might want to connect with the RM-35 and
wonder just how you went about setting yours up.
