TenTec radios run quite nicely from plain vanilla 13.8V power 
supplies. The only thing the TenTec supply adds to the equation is 
some overload protection, but reasonably careful operation of the 
radio, combined with rather robust design of the radio by TenTec 
makes that a luxury rather than a necessity. 

FWIW -- the only Ten Tec transceiver power supply I own is an 
ancient one that I bought with my first TenTec -- a brand new Omni 
A. I gave the Omni A to a new ham quite a few years ago, but still 
own the power supply. It's for sale to a good home. :)
