Has anyone experience using the N8XJK Super Booster
<http://stores.tgelectronics.org/the-n8xjk-super-booster/> with an SG-500
linear amplifier?  The battery booster is rated at 40 amps and 16 volts
maximum.  

The SG-500 is rated for an input voltage of 14 VDC and an input ranger of 10 to
18VDC: <http://www.sgcworld.com/ampProductPage.html>.  Has anyone attempted to
run the SG-500 at 18VDC?  Can the booster do that without issues?  

Is the booster able to deal with the rapidly fluctuating 40 amp load the SG-500
creates during SSB output?  

What is the optimal location to connect a 2 farad smoothing capacitor, at the
SG-500's power terminals, or at the power input to the battery booster?
Intuitively, I would think the amplifier's power input would be best, but
thought it couldn't hurt to inquire.

Has anyone experienced timing issues between the booster's RF enable trigger
and the amplifier output?  

Best regards,
Larry
