Hi Larry,
    I can not speak for all Astrons but none of mine have provisions for
remote sensing.  I am aware of the Lambda power supplies.  I had a 60 amp (9
~ 15 volt) one that had to weigh at least 100 pounds!
    It probably would not be hard to modify the power supply for remote
sensing but this would require a lot of RF proofing because the 723
regulators do not like RF very much.  I eliminate much of this problem by
using heavy wiring as much as possible.  This minimizes voltage drop under
load.   73, Bill
