I bought a small Astron RS-20A when I was first licensed in 1993 and
keep it now for taking to field day or portable. I have been using an
Astron RS-35A since around 1995 when I got into HF and was using 2
radios. It has enough power for an HF radio, satellite radio, the TNC,
and another 2m radio. I also power the ICOM CIT level converter and the
Yaesu rotor control interface for tracking satellites. Plenty of power
and has run for many years without a hiccup. I have it plugged into a
Wemo switch which allows me to turn the power on when I am not at home
and also turn the power off when I stop operating and sometimes forget
to kill the power to the power supply.
I have been very happy with the Astron products in fact, I never have to
worry about them. They are like a Timex, they just keep on ticking. Okay
for the young ones here that do not know what a Timex is ;-), like an
Eveready Bunny that never stops.
