I have 2 Astrons in my shack a RS-70M and a VS-70M and 2 Samlex Supplies a SEC-1223 and a SEC-1235M both are very clean switchers. They have been running continuous now for over 6 years no problems the Astrons I have only invested in the last 2 years should have been one of the first things I bought along with a Quality Manual Tuner. Which by the way I spent 3 times as much over the years on lesser ones than paying $900 or so the first time out. Live and learn as with most things.
The 2 large Astrons power a total of 6 radios, 2 VHF amps a 160w and a 350w, 2 scanners and 6 small draw accessories and still have plenty of head room if needed. I never transmit on over 2 radios at a time and one of them being a QRP digital unit. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Subich, W4TV Sent: Monday, June 11, 2012 9:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] OT: Popular power supply query The Astron RS-35 is my favorite ... solid (and heavy) linear supply with enough headroom to handle the K3 at full output and elevated output voltage (+15.5V).
