Guys

 We have another option with the DC - DC converter. In my case I used it as a battery balancer. I still tapped off the 12 volt battery to supply the 12 volt buss. And since the energy draw was uneven, I  placed the battery balancer/converter between the two 12 volt batteries in order to supply more power to the 12 volt bussed battery. It works great. No problem at all. And if the converter goes down I still have power to the radio and others. I can turn off the balancer with a remote switch. I monitor the 12 volt buss with the volt meter. I have an auto 24 volt alternator that I can turn on and off remotely. This allows me to tell if the alternator is working just by the voltage jump when I turn it on. The balancer is checked the same way, a slight voltage jump when turned on. I didn't choose a Becker, I have the XCOM radio.

Interesting idea.  I have never done it, but it makes sense.  



I also have the XCOM in my UTVA-66 and it is a great radio.  



Thanks for this posting Jim.

That is another tidbit in the puzzle Jan.  Your device is really just a

basic PMG alternator.  Uses a bridge rectifier and a big filter

electrolytic cap plus a basic voltage regulator... And you have no

noise.  I really am thinking just adding a big ole cap to the 12 volt

side might really help with the noise.

I have about 15 different Astron power supplies. 



I have seen the one you mention.  



Every single product from this company is some of the best stuff made at

a fair price.  They are also very easy to repair. 



Highly concur with Gary's commments.
