[TenTec] Omni V Maximum voltage

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

It is not a regulated supply.  There is a 12V output for the receiver and 
the control deck but the transmitter is FM and thus the ripple from the 
power supply has little effect on the transmitted signal.

I'll get to the shop on Friday where the Micor ham repeaters, 3 of them, 
are located and where the manual resides.  If you want specs drop me an 
e-mail direct.
