Maybe not, but I generally like to have a heavy enough power supply that if
two transmitters get accidentally keyed up at the same time, I don't let
the magic smoke out of something or have to go digging around for another fuse.
Generally, with power supplies, more is better. I have a couple of husky
Astrons here and have never been particularly sorry to have the extra capacity.
