[Old Goat]

Need some power supply info can I hook up two radio,s a connex 4300-300 and a 2970 to the same 40 amp supply if I only key one at a time. Can I have both radio ,s turned on . RAY (old goat) 525

I don't know what either radio normally draws, but seriously doubt if it will be 20 some amps just in the receive mode. So, you can probably have both on, and connected to the same supply. Only transmitting with one at a time will probably work too (not knowing the radios, that's just a guess).

[Listening to yourself transmitting with the other one isn't exactly a real good idea, possible, just not very good for the listening radio. But you knew that anyway.]

Lots of us have the HF rig and the VHF/UHF rig connected to the same supply and both on at the same time. We only transmit on one at any given time, so there's no overload.

My IC-738 and my Alinco DR-610 do just fine that way, and I have a few small accessories (keyer, clock, etc) also connected to the 35-amp supply with nary a complaint.

I also have more than one radio connected to a single ps plus I have an antenna switch that senses which radio is being keyed and cuts the others out on rx, it the model as-100 by euro cb and for the life of me I cannot remember where I bought that switch.

Here is some info on it
