We have 3x Mastr II repeaters being powered by 2 Staticon power supplies along with a bunch of backup batteries. Staticon has been used for years up here in Canada and you can check them out at: <http://www.staticon.ca> Used units are plentiful (which is what we use). One staticon powers 2 repeaters (UHF and VHF) along with 500AH worth of batteries. The second smaller Staticon powers our 6 meter machine with 50AH worth of batteries. They will simultaneously power the equipment and charge the batteries and they offer an equalizing feature.
