Okay, I am a rookie here, and I am trying to setup my radius m100 as a base station. Now heres my issue, I bought a 13.8v 10 amp power supply, and hooked up the radio to that, the power supply blew the fuse, I replace it and disconnect the radio, bam pops the fuse again, and again the third time. So i am assuming my $50 power supply is toast.
Next issue, I connect the radio to crappy 12v 500mA power supply I ghetto rigged from an old linksys power supply, just to test the radio. It powers on and recieves no problem. Now when I go to transmit using that setup, the channel light blinks rapidly between red and green and I hardly get no reception through the repeater, now I assuming that this is because there is not enough juice coming from the power supply. Am I correct in this assumption? Also, what power supply do you recommend for this kind of setup?
Thanks for all the help you can offer.
