Your guess is right 
a good 5 to 7.5 power supply would be much more sufficient , especially where SSB is concerned. Although the 2.5 should be OK for AM only , but in your case , sounds like yours is on the blink. Good luck to you

Good luck to youthat 148 will pull about 2 to 3 amps on transmit. thats if its a stock radio. probably more if its been doctored up. like switch kit said. id go with a 5 to 7 amp power supply. i used to run mine in the house on a 10 amp.
