Sounds like a ground issue. Your Astron 35 amp power supply is actually 26 amps normal, 35 amps surge. How much power are you running? Some of the other techs can correct me if I am wrong, but to tie them together you have to use some diodes to prevent one from feeding back into the other. Then positive to positive and negative to negative. It's been several years since I have tied two together, but it seems that is the way we done it.

I searched through 10,000 posts and did not see this as a topic, so perhaps it is safe to ask? While building out my repeater empire, I discovered that an Astron RM- 35 does not like providing 30 amps continuous :) So, I thought I would run the latest repeater on a separate power supply. However, the controller, an Arcom RC-210, would not recognize COS and PTT states of the repeater on a separate power supply. What is the correct procedure to tie these two power supplies together, to either: A. Provide more than 30 amps continuous together, or B. have the ground of the second power supply recognized by the controller, which is running on the first power supply? The repeaters are 1100 feet up a tower, in a very cramped space, so I thought I would ask here before experimenting. Thank you! Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
