[TenTec] Station power supply??

[denton]

A followup on my previous post...I forgot I did the below a few years back.

One thing I did in the past was to use my homebrew 35 amp power supply with 
a blocking diode to feed a couple of golf cart batteries in series.
Blocking diode was the common silicon variety so would some voltage drop 
between the power supply output and battery B+ input. I adjusted the power 
supply to what I wanted at the batteries. The voltage drop across the 
blocking diode really worked well for me as it would drop the voltage down 
just the right amount to keep from cooking the batteries.

I used a batterybooster on the output of the batteries with some ferrite 
beads on the B+ cable. No hash at all.

One thing I did with the homebrew supply is I put the crowbar clamp across 
the filter capacitor before the regulator board, rather than the output of 
the power supply. Seems to me that if the clamp is on the output of the 
power supply, and it fires enough, the regulator and pass transistors are 
gonna fry.
