[ARC5] Power Supplies for the ARC-5 Rx.

[Leslie Smith]

Hello Group,
There is a group at www.groups.yahoo.com that deal with "hobby" use of ARC-5 or "command" sets.  The group's name is ARC-5radio.  I posted a circuit for a lower voltage power supply for these sets among the "files".  I have a number of power supplies, built on a PC card that are surplus to my needs.  Haven't figured a fair price, but if you are interested send me your e-mail address (for mine use vk2bcu "at" Operamail dot com) and I'll send a photo.  Response will be slow and measured, certainly not "immediate".

There are photos at ARC-5radio group but the cards I have use a slightly different layout.
