Transmit problem

Alright. So I figure i’m overlooking something. I have an Icom 7000 hooked up to an Astron 50 amp power supply when I Key the radio it shuts off immediately. Now when I run on batteries it transmits fine with no issues. Any help would be appreciated as I am stumped.

Homemade mag mount

I live in an apartment and cannot bolt or screw anything into the house. However, we have a permanent AC unit on the 3rd floor near the roof. I was thinking of making a magnet mount on the AC and topping that off with 3 or 4 feet of mast (to get it over the roof line) with a 1/4 ground plane antenna on top.

I remember hearing that a reddit user built a homemade magnet mount with magnets epoxied to a floor flange. Does anyone have the details of this build or alternative ideas on how I could get this antenna mounted?

Thanks
