FW: [1000mp] FP29 with LOT of RFI

[HAROLD B MANDEL]

Dear Terry;,

The Astron LS-25 for the 30 volt, as the supply will adjust
up to 32 volts, and the RM-75 for the 12 volts, as that 
supplies the 12 volt shack rail, too.

It was fun to modify the power supplies by adding a fan
to the rear apron and to double up on the filter caps as there
was plenty of room in the chassis.

I ordered a new FP-29 supply cable, but didn't like the
small conductor diameters, so the Molex at the rig end was
chopped off and a new four-conductor power cable
with twisted 10AWG stranded wire was fabricated.

The power supplies are chassis-grounded together,
and the a.c.e.g. serves as the RF drain since the
shack RF Ground buss bar with the heavy-duty
lead to the EGR is well-bonded to the 100 amp
distribution panel's a.c.e.g. buss.

Hal
