[NSRCA-discussion] Iota 55 power supply questions

[Anthony Abdullah]

Thank you Mr. Mueller!

Question, does that power supply have the dual outputs on it to allow me to hook two chargers to it? It is really convenient to be able to plug banana plugs right into the power supply as I currently do with my Pro Peak. From the looks of it, that is not necessarily designed for "civilized" hobby use. I am looking for something that can power two 1010C chargers with reliable clean power that I can just plug right into, or "Idiot Resistant" as my momma would say.
