A 13.8V@25 amps DC power supply

Since a 13.8V@25 amps DC power supply is required, why isn't it included with the Flexradio or sold by the company?

Is there a recommended brand/model of power supply?0

Astron's work fine. Personally, I have a 50A W5RV supply that I've used at my station for years, and it does a fine job as well. I'm sure you'll get a lot of useful recommendations here.0

Power supplies are more or less commodity items. No real purpose in a "Flex Supply" in that crowded market. Plus, your station likely has more devices than the radio, so your supply will need to be scaled appropriately. A good quality linear supply will last a lifetime.0

See buy/accessories at Flex site.

or eBay.
Just be careful with tightening the SS-25 set screws, they are soft brass and fragile.2 -
Well, there it is! Lol. Thanks. I should have looked more before asking.0

I use a dedicated Astron VS-50M for my Flex, works perfectly The Astron 35A models will work too, but its continuous current specification (25A) was a bit too close to the edge for me. I prefer a bit more head room.
