[ARC5] More on that +/- 48 Volt DC-DC Converter

[David Stinson]

A few people asked so here's a photo of the little "brick"
supplying +97 VDC to the ham-verted BC-454.
Works excellent and plenty of audio.
Here's a photo of it just "tacked" onto the back deck
of the receiver on my cluttered work bench:

The receiver works entirely on 12 VDC.
Even powered it from a Gel Cell for awhile.
Since there is no filtering, there are birdies at 
each harmonic of the switching freq- about 160 KC.
None of them have been a problem so far and a pot
on the "trim" input would likely move any birdie if it
was an issue.
