My question: is it possible to fire this rig with my 25 amp Astron
2-pole 13.8 volt PS, and if so, how do I wire it to that big square
plug?

It would seem better to locate or clone the correct NCX-3's mobile SS
12v supply/similar; surprised to hear some say it can't be run of 12v
as-is when it was designed to do so. FWIW I have both supplies & the
rig (not interested in separating) - the mobile supply is compact &
fairly simple AIRC from its schem. Wouldn't mind parting with it cplt
for a tempting offer (not a giveaway).

Of course it can't be run off 12v as is; you even state that when you
talke about getting the mobile supply.

He wanted to know if he could apply his 12V dc output from his power
supply the the NCX-3 and run the transceiver. And the answer is no,
it needs the mobile supply.

At that point, unless one wants to run it in the car, he is better off
buying or building an AC supply for the thing.
