[Milsurplus] Amperage ratings for PRC-25 power?

[Leam Hall]

Brooke, I've been going over your pages for a day or two; lots of great 
information! Thanks for putting it all on the web!

Finally got my camera to talk to the computer, here's the first stab at 
trying to power up the radios. Images are large ( ~375K ) so if you're 
on dial-up, might make some coffee after you click.  ;)

Spent some time last night just running around the dial trying to hear 
something besides static. No luck yet, but still hopeful. Just passed my 
Tech test so when my call sign is posted I'll try a CQ on the 50 MHz 
band. We have lots of hams in this area so I should be able to 
coordinate with someone.

These radios actually belong to our State Guard unit but no one was sure 
if they even worked. If I can get them to a point of functional 
usefulness then they'll be back in service!
