2 pill mobile ?.....

If you had a 2 pill with 2-2290s in it and wanted to run it on the base, how big of power supply would it take ?..

30 amp would be my best guess.

Running balls to the wall, the amp will max at 30 amps so 35 amp minimum for the power supply.

10-4 on the 35 amp...yea Ive heard them Astron PS were built like a tank..
The 2 pill would be ran on the low side, with a low drive radio...

I had a 2 pill Palomar TX-150 with a pair of MRF455 pills. it drew less than 10 amps at full swing.

you should consider the Megawatt 36 amp power supply, small, and it works, there is a guy in Cali that imports them from china and when mine died he sent me a replacement for only $20 shipped (I sent him a little extra via paypal for his trouble.) Best is they are clean power and CHEAP

I must agree with MR.FX. I use a megawatt 36A power supply. Very small, and seems to handle my 2x2879 with ease! Been running it for almost a couple years now with no probs! Hook it up, dial it in, and you've still got $$ to play with!

Visit my website - I've got a full review on the Megawatt. It's my go-to choice now. I sold all of my old Pyramids, Astrons, etc.

It will power a 2 x 2290 or 2879
