Good power supply, but...
By N7NTM from Glendale, AZ on 9/2/2008
Pros:
Powerful
Cons:
Inconsistent Performance
Best Uses:

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I tried one of these and was disappointed. I liked the size, weight, and power rating. However, as soon as I keyed up on 222MHz band, the power supply shut down. I had to turn it off and back on to get it to work again. It worked fine on the 144MHz and 440MHz bands, but not 222MHz. Also, the fan ran all the time and could be noisy.

 
Fine supply, no noise!

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have three of these things. I use two to power a Kenwood TS-480HX amateur radio, no problems and the the third to power my Yeasu FT-897 (also to charge the onboard 897 batteries). No noise, seemingly bulletproof. Great value to me.

Shuts itself down if I transmit on the 222 MHz band even when using a different power source! Generates birdies and wideband noise over HF bands. No schematic supplied [...]

I use two of these PS, one as primary source for my TenTec Jupiter AMATEUR RADIO base, and the second for portable ops with the same xcvr. I have detected no noise from 75M to 10M in either situation. It just sits there and works!

Usesless for HF
By J&BVerified Reviewer from Cleveland, OH on 9/13/2007
Cons:
Birdies, Unreliable
Describe Yourself:
Professional, Tech Savvy
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Connected this PS to my Yaesu FT-900 and immediately noticed that the noise floor was about an S-7 on 40m with no antenna connected. Even more annoying is the PSK31 'type' of howling noises being generated by the PS across the entire HF spectrum. When I connect the FT-900 to an analog PS (a Kenwood PS30), the noise level dropped to an S2 on the same 40m frequency and the PSK31 type of QRN completely disappeared. The PS is useless for me on HF and I will return this unit first chance I get.

Good power - I use it ...
By Mike Y from Dallas, Texas on 6/21/2007

Good power - I use it with my Yaesu FT-897. Only negative is the connection screws won't come all the way off so there is no way to put a ring connector there.
