I concure

if the transmitter needs 12v DC and you have a power supply that
supplys 13.8 v..that is more than OK, as the components of most
transmitters will go to at least
16v before being upset.
The amperage is irrelevant at LPFM RF output levels, as it is
so low.

One surgestion is to put a power surge anti-spike unit on your AC
power input to your station.
