[Yaesu] can connect two 12 volt power supplies in parallel.

If the supplies were "identical" then you could IF there is an equalizing 
resistor in output of each supply. Realistically, it isn't worth it.

Here is a question I have heard varying opinion about, Can you connect two
12 volt power supplies together in parallel.

Say 1 power supply is 20 a amp and is a little week to carry a 100 watt
transmitter. And you have a 10 amp supply that you are not using.  Can they
be connected in parallel, some of the question are can it be done?,
What is the total amperage available?  What happens if the amp draw exceeds
20 amps?  How will them be connected effect each other?
If you can connect 2 how about 3? > assume all power supplies are 12 Volts.

If you care to respond it would be appreciated
