Power Supply for Base Radio?

[Choirboy]

The guy that tuned my 148GTL for home use set the modulation at 27 watts on AM and 35 watts on sideband (speaking, not whistling). Would a 7 amp power supply be sufficient to power this radio?

Thanks!

Yes but I's suspect a little stretch on the watts was told to you. Ive been wrong before but I smell something fishy, If I was a betting man, Id say, around 20 watts on a Bird.

yep Radioactive is right,,the older 148's had a 1969 final, when tuned right would give you 20 watts bird,,,thats all the final can do,,,newer 148's have the 2078 final, still can't get even to 20

mine is dead keying 4 watts swing to 20 on a hp-5000 meter i'm happy with it but my other cobra 148 will dead key 4 and swing to 15 it depends i guess.

This one's from the Philippines, made in 1991, if that makes a difference....
