thats funny my 70amp switching power supply works just fine.  i had my doubts 
when i bought it but i bought it used and can always get my money out of it.  i 
have my omni 6 and the herk 2 both hooked up to it.
 
now the ant has to be resonate or the amperage will go up with a high swr.

In my experience, 70A is NOT enough.  I've run my Herc II from TWO Astron 70A 
linear supplies, each connected to half of the output stages, and with their 
regulator references tied together. That works fine. But only RS70 to run the 
amp will go into protect mode.
