Was not sure where to post this, but it IS an improvement item for my CONTEST
station.
I have two spare power supplies in the shack, one 10 amp and one 12 amp. The
main supply used with my TS850 is an 18 amp supply. I would like to connect
the 10 amp and 12 amp supplies in parallel to provide a backup supply for the
TS850, just in case I can't find the spare fuses for the main supply. (This
just happened during SS; lost over 15 minutes searching for the last 3 amp
slowblow fuse.)
Any thoughts on how to do this properly without destroying either supply.
Can I just simply connect the output terminals in parallel? Do the output
voltages need to be adjusted to exactly match each other? Do I need blocking
diodes to prevent damage if one of the supplies dies?
Also, has anyone experimented with adding a capacitor storage bank (150,000+
uf) to their existing power supply to increase instanteous current
capability?
Reply to me directly. If there is enough interest I will post a summary
later.

Just got off the phone with the FCC's Consumer Assistance Branch. They claim
that the form 610-V and 1070-V *WILL NOT* be available until mid December, and
any rumors to the contrary are false. They also informed me that you must
request them in writing.
