[TenTec] scout AC supply, plus Omni AC supply question ????

Mon, 21 Apr 2003 08:30:49 -0500

I use an Astron non switcher with my Omni VI+ and have seen no problems. I
think the VI+ has an overcurrent limit of some kind built in so that you
don't need the external one when using a non TenTec supply. As far as I
know, that was the only issue.
