Yes you are correct. My power supplies were both underpowered at around 5 amps 7 amp peak. Now I just need to find a cheap power supply.. I have been looking for 20 to 30 amps... what would be the ideal amperage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never find 13.8v power supplies in 20A or more for less than $79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borage257 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 (edited) You can buy either a 12v or 15v. Both have adjustment screws to dial in your voltage. Edited June 24 by Borage257 Added snips for product and product data sheet WRQW589 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 50 watt radio needs about half that, maybe 12-15 amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
