All Omni rigs and the Herc II run VERY well from any 13.8V supply
that can supply the required current. All you need are suitably
wired power connectors. Also, the Herc II can be driven by any
decent rig, and it takes only about 30 watts to hit full output. The
connectors are all standard Molex parts, so you can buy them (shells
and pins) through standard electronics distribution (Allied, Newark,
etc.).
I would try the Omni and the Herc II on another supply and reduced
power and see if they're OK. You can even run the Omni from one
supply and the Herc II from another one. The Astron 70A supply will
just about provide full power from the Herc II.
