Re: [TenTec] O II Background flicker? (power supply)

["Richard Williams" <richardw@mho.com>]

Concerning the power supply.  I am using the Ten Tec supply with nothing 
else hooked up to it; though  I do have a couple of acc hooked up to the 12V 
on the back of the radio ( Clear Speech filter and a front end saver), 
neither of which is a major current draw.   Additionally, I have the problem 
in both receive and transmit; but again it is nothing major.  And besided, I 
don't use color 3 or 5.

I don't know that it is a power supply issue, in at least the current 
rating; I would think 25 amp is more than sufficient for the receiver???

It is nice to know that Ten Tec knows of the problem anyway.
