[Powering a Midland MXT400 as a Base Station]

Hey Scott,

 

I'm a little less of a newbie than you, but picked up a Astron RS-35M for a base station set-up (& whatever future endeavors) from Ham Radio Outlet and have been very satisfied with it.  Plenty of power for two radios, in case you ever decide to put up a repeater.  Seems to be recommended by a lot of HAMs.
