Re: [TenTec] best power supply for Orion II and other items

["Ron Castro" <ronc@sonic.net>]

I have had good luck with a cheap Tripp-Lite 25 Amp linear supply I bought 
at a local surplus shop years ago.  Essentially, any reasonably well 
regulated supply with 13.6 V at 20 -25 A will work fine.  Most of the 
problems I hear about are in the wire and connectors between the supply and 
the radio.
