[Bry Carling]

Yes a separate PSU for the VFO is always a great idea with any rig!!

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?
