[Milsurplus] GRC-9 Power supply Question

Greg,

You apparently have the DY-105  power supply.  Twenty-four (24) volts  
DC input, fused for 13 amps total.  There will be a much higher  
initial starting current surge, something around 50 amps or so for a  
few milliseconds on key-down depending on the "stiffness" of your  
supply.  Pair of 12 volt automobile batteries connected in series will  
run it just fine for a field-day's worth of intermittent use.

On the input power connector, pins A & B are tied together on the  
positive side, likewise B & C for the negative.  B & C also grounded  
to the PS chassis.

Don't be too surprised if the vibrator for the receiver PS doesn't  
work the first time you apply power.  Common problem requiring opening  
the can and cleaning the contacts.
