Well, what's the point of having more then 1 power supply, I run everything
off 1, including my scanners, but I only have a 100 watt radio for HF to I
do it all with a 35 amp supply.  Look at the specs for the 480, the 200 watt
version, I forget what they are exactly but it needs more then a 35 amp
supply.
