Wireless Set No. 52 Cdn - Input Power

[David Dunlop]

What are the options for operating this set as a"permanent" base station in a fixed location for extended periods of time? Is the PSU in the set only able to input 12V DC - i.e. batteries or chore horse operation? I know the Remote Receiver came with it's own PSU that was either DC or AC capable. The Vehicle and Ground Station Manual for the set only references DC input options for the set. The TX draws about 40 amps, which is quite a load. The set has always intrigued me but operating one at home with a whack of wet cells lurking about is not appealing.
