another junk product. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I'll rate it as poor. i just installed this astron bb-30m backup module. i have notice 13.7v 50amp linear power supply my output voltage is only 13.3v. when using a backup battery 13.8 my output voltage is only 12.7 and my radio only transmit 70 watt not 100watt as icom 7300 does.it does not even charge my battery. but it works during power interuption. i dont know if i have a faulty product. i emailed astron support but no reply.

Just what I needed - if you need battery backup Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I'll rate this as Great now. Worked as advertised, but sometimes my Astron SS-30M power supply would trip its overvoltage or overcurrent protect when the power came back on. (I'm also using a 50Ah SLA battery). Asked Astron support about it and they said to send the BB-30M to them and they would modify it. Just got it back last week and after some simulated power events and one real one a couple days ago I can report it works perfectly now. I own about 4 Astron supplies in addition to this unit and personally have never had an issue with their units (or any problems with RF hash like some of the others).
