I have a question to everyone who owns a cobra 200. What size power supply are you all running? How many amps? Thanks

4+ amp home-brew, and it has half a dozen radios running off of it at the same time. They are only in receive mode, however. I use the supply to keep all of my showcase radios lit up. It enhances any "COOL!!!" factors.
When I test 200's (or any other radio), I use a Powertec 60+ amp switching supply with #6 main cable feed, and doubled #14 for the 200 power cord setup.

My Cobra 200 pulls 15amps on keyup.... I use this Jetstream JTPS45. 45 amp Max, 40 amp Continuous Power Supply to power it.drifter8291 said:

So what is the amperage draw one should look for?? Keeping in mind the first run of 200's have smaller finals than newer 200's.DTB Radio said:
I think somewhere around 10 would be close, give or take. I guess I should say that I've never actually looked the the dead-key pull of a 200 running at about 30-40 watts key, so I'm basing what I'm saying here on general 2-pill amp characteristics.
