Power supplies

[VA7ORD]

Will this power supply work for a base station? If not, why not as I could dial in the 13 volts?

Thanks all.

Hi Dirk. Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately probably not. If you look here (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/master/mbrs/recording_preservation/manuals/Heath Zenith Tri-Power Supply Model SP-2718.pdf) you'll see the manual. And if you look on the front panel, you'll see the same problem: the amperage; it's too low. A 100W base station will likely be pulling well upward of 15 amps. This power supply is only rated at 0.5 amps at 12V. Sorry about that.
