[TenTec] Using Non-TT Supply

Thanks for all the suggestions.  The supply on the Omni Vi right now is 
a model for the old Omni.
It was working OK, in spite of its current limits.  Now, I get a voltage 
drop any where from 11.3 V
with 25 w out to 10.5 v with the drive advanced to full power.

I see 5v. of AC on the DC output on 20K Ohm VOM all the time.  Is this 
enough to mean a bad cap?

I am going to hook the rig up to the little MFJ 22 Amp bare bones 
switcher, and see how that
goes.  If a problem, I have the circuit breaker that went with the early 
rigs for Mobile or battery
use.  It should take it up to 75-80 watts.

Does anyone have a copy of the circuit for a 962 power supply?  TT does  
not have it on their
site.  I have the one for the old ps I'm using right now.

Thanks for the help.
BTW, I'm kinda hurried because our club is having a special events 
station next Sat. Sept 7.
I'll post more here about that by the weekend.
