[TenTec] Omni V Maximum voltage

[Ken Brown]

>  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.

Depends what you mean by "clean". In the two-way mobile radio industry, 
transmitter and receiver designs for mobile radios and stationary remote 
base/repeater radios are often virtually the same, with minor 
differences, mostly differences in the packaging. So if the regulation 
and noise bypassing is distributed throughout the radio, and designed to 
work in a mobile environment, with alternator whine and unstable supply 
voltage, then for stationary use it is not necessary to build a power 
supply that is a lot better than typical DC automotive power.
