The Delt Force draws 6.5 amps max per owners manual and the 2950dx less than 7 amps max.

I wouldn't use anything smaller than a 15 or 20 amp for those radios. Better to have a little extra headroom.

Dodgeman,
Great choice, I have had a Tripp Lite PR25 for 12 years. After I had it 12 months and two days's it failed 100%. I called them and they said:"send it back", I did. They sent me another with an "Invoice Due" for the full purchace price.

I never paid that Invoice, instead I called them and left a message for the Tech's name on the ticket. He never called or wrote me back. This new PR25 has been perfect.

If you can afford it, get the largest you can. Just like Radio's get the best you can afford or better. Wish I'd done that with radio's.

Good Luck Buddy!

I'm with CLIMBER. Get the biggest PS you can afford. I have a Pyramid 46 and wish I had purchased the 50 amp model. I have been adding stuff every year...
