Tom,
Here is a link to the Universal Radio page on the discontinued power
supply, with some basic specs:
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamps/2816.html
I'm not sure what the 16 amp raiding you are finding on the unit
represents. As a comparison" My old Astron RS-20 was rated at 16 amps
continuous (I think until the cows come home) and rated at 20 amps for
a shorter duty cycle. You shouldn't have any problem with your supply.
Maybe running 100 watt RTTY would put a strain on it, but CW is
less of a duty cycle, and SSB even less.
I think you run other stuff off your main station supply, so a 35 amp
unit is probably better, but for what you are trying to do now in
testing, just hook it up and see how it goes.
I would try and reconnect with as much of the existing wiring as
possible to the new supply, so you are comparing apples to apples.
