Texas Star 1600 Setup

[Ecowarrior]

Just have a few basic questions. First, if I have a 1500 watt dipole antenna. Will it handle the 900 watts my DX1600 will send to it? I'll only be feeding the DX1600 60 watts in for the 900 out. I figure that's less than 2/3 of it's rating of the antenna. Now the other is a little more complicated. The power source for the DX1600. This is my breaker box. The top left is a dual 100 amp, and all the individuals add up to 200. Will this handle the 1600? We don't use a lot of power here. During the day, my PC and 1 tv is on, maybe 2. In fact we don't have A/C anymore, would I be able to use the power from that to power up a 150 amp supply? So I'm thinking 2 options. First, megawatt power supplies. I have 2 of the S-350s which is 60 amps, if I grab 3 more that will give me 150 amps. Or the follow the directions directions for the 1600. And this is for a base station.

20 amps @ 240 volts = 400 amps @ 12 volts, this doesn't account for power supply loses. You might try finding someone local to help you get this set up so it doesn't cost you a pile of money in the long run.
