[TenTec] Omni V Maximum voltage

[scottsheppard at videotron.ca]

Wow, quite the response. Most appreciated... I just cant see how motorola would not have made a clean supply...it weighs about 35 lbs or more and has at least 6 big canned capacitors and another smaller transformer...I looked at the part/model number but very little info. The regulator board has no adjustable pots...strange.

Again thanks to all who helped...
