It should be about 40 VDC, +/-.  At 20 to 25 Amps

Wanna bet?  When my IC-2KL blew the DC/DC converter, it took a bunch of
stuff out of the main P/S too.  It cost me nearly $100 to get it back up.
Today that would not phase me.  But when it happened I was just a poor
underpaid soldier with a wife and two kids.  It stayed broke about 3 months
till I could earn the extra $$$$ to fix it.

This is what prompted me to come up with the P/S mod to protect it.

Still, there isn't much that can go wrong.
