a 35 to 40 amp power supply should be able to run a 200 watt radio plus
more.  If the radio peaks at 250 or so a 35 amp power supply should be quite
sufficient.
I think you said the high power version was a 200 watt version?  that would
mean it might peak at 225 or so.  No need for a expensive 50 amp power
supply for that unless one plans to run all  gear off one power supply.
