you don't even need to go that high for the thf6A, one of those 2.5 amp CB
power supplies should do it just fine. Well, that's the last time I used one
was on CB, of course if you want to upgrade the radio down the road and get
a mobile, maybe you want to get a bigger one, I always tell new hams a power
supply isn't like the radio, it's not something you're messing with daily,
generally you don't get sick of it in a couple years and keep getting a new
one, a power supply generally stays for a long time so if you can afford a
big one and plan to use it down the road, go for it, if you can't right now,
there's nothing wrong with a small one, it's just something to think about.
Very honestly though, you really don't need much of a power supply for an HT
at all. One of those little 2.5 amp ones, I know radio shack used to have a
nice one not sure if they still do, and other places have, are fine for an
HT. I used to have one in my college dorm when I lived on campus for an HT
there, it was a little ugly but worked, if I still had it I'd send it to you
but I haven't the foggiest clue where it went.
