[Boatanchors] Dx40 and VF1

[Glen Zook]

The HG-10 puts an even more stress on the DX-40 than the VF-1.

The usual failure in the power transformer was a short between windings caused by overheating.

If you look closely in the HG-10 / HG-10B manual, you will see that Heath recommends an external power supply for that VFO even though the DX-60- series has a better power transformer.

Is the HG 10 vfo less of a load on the DX 40 than the VF1?
