[TenTec] which power supply…station efficiency

I'm curious about why you need "isolation between them rf wise" on the DC power leads. I think there should not be enough RF on the DC power leads to bother another radio connected to the same DC power supply. Is this a station where multiple operators are using the radios? Is more than one transceiver going to be transmitting at a time? If not, it would be more efficient to have one power supply that can supply the current draw of one transceiver in transmit mode and the rest in receive mode. That would be more efficient than multiple power supplies that can each supply enough current for a transceiver transmitting.
