Abstract
A power supply docking station for a SINCGARS RT-1523 radio has a housing configured to support and provides DC power to the radio and a power amplifier. The housing has an integrated battery compartment for receiving at least two military standard BB-2590 batteries. Each battery can independently power the radio and the power amplifier, such that the other battery can be swapped out while the radio and power amplifier are in use. In another embodiment, a power supply docking station supports and provides power to a Harris 150-series radio. In another embodiment, a power supply docking station supports and provides power to a Harris 160-series radio.
