No.  the number in the Astron model number refers to the maximum power
(I think peak) that it will deliver.  If your rig actually needs less it
will draw less.  The higher output may come in handy if you want to put
another rig or a power amp on the Kenwood.  I run both my 2/70 m/cm rig
and my hf rig on an Astron 20 am supply  and may put together a dc cord
for my scanner though I do not need it in the future.  The draw back is
that if you are using a set up like mine, I cannot run both rigs in
different locations at the same time.  

Thank you!

Subject: question about tm-g707a for Eric Patterson

I found a place where I can buy this rig and it doesn't come with a
power supply to be used kind of as a base station.  do you know what
kind of power supply I need to get for this?  I found one on ebay its a
35a astron or something but my husband said that's too much power and it
will burn the radio up.  Is this correct?
 
Thanks,
