[Heathkit] Astron power supply question???

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Dan:

Don't fret over a few millivolts difference.  13.2, 13.4, 13.8, 14.0 are all 
about the same.  One thing you may want to check is the voltage at the radio 
in receive and again the voltage at the radio in transmit full power. 
Regulation should be +/- 0.25 volts or better.  I would expect to see some 
0.1 volt drop between receive and transmit at the radio due to IR loss in 
the power cable at 20 amps or so.  Which then nets 13.87 volts.  Looks darn 
good to me.

> All info on solid state rigs show 12 to 14 volts dc regulated.
> They all seem to state full output is reached at 14 volts.
> I am concerned that this supply is to close to the 14 volts max.
> Am I concerned over nothing?
