Increasing the Voltage beyond the specifications will kill the radio.
Putting a higher power - (current) PSU shouldn't hurt the radio. The radio
will 'draw' the needed current only.
The power consumption if assumed constant,
P (Power) = I (Current) x V (Voltage)

It's not actually mine. It's another's from the list. We were talking
about it. But I am sure that on my 230 ft run of cat 5 that I had to
replace an 18v 1a with an 18v 2a to get the radio to stop rebooting. The
individual I was talking to thought if you up the amps it will kill the
radio. I thought if you up the volts it kills the radio. Who is right?
Well, actually I know what the cat 5 is. It's comscope 25 pair.
Which brings up another question. Who does this? Run a single bundle of
25 pair up towers and use punch down blocks. Any issues with this?

Brian,
I'm normally a lurker, but maybe your problem is in the 300' run of
CAT5.
What kind is it? You may be getting signal degradation which is causing
the
sporadic radio behavior.

I'm a little confused here. I'm working on a 300 ft run of cat5 and have
a question. The radio is acting sparatic. The power supply has already
been upped from a 18v to a 24v. Both 1 amp. Will it hurt to put a 24v 2
amp power supply in? If I "over do" on amps or volts, what blows a radio.
One or both? I seem to remember being told that a radio only takes what
amps it needs, so putting a higher amp power supply in won't hurt, but if
you put too many volts in, that will fry them. Please clarify me on this.
