Speaking of which...

If anyone has an Airpax or equivalent breaker available, please drop me a note 
off-list.

I will need one for the "Amp Supply" Argosy II that I picked up a short time 
ago.  w3wn@n3sh.org will get to me.

Thanks!

73, ron W3WN

A Triton will work fine on a battery.

You should insert a magnetic circuit breaker in the power cord so the PA 
transistors are protected. Airpac (?) had a 18 A breaker for that purpose and 
Ten Tec sold it. That circuit breaker provided the overcorrect protection that 
was inside the ten tec power supply.
