[Elecraft] Good news from 5V-land. Soon on air!

[Gary K9GS]

Hi Doug,

It wasn't the big toroid transformer that let loose.  It was one mounted 
on a PC Board (Triad part).

See:  http://www.mdxc.org/5v7v/good-news-from-5v-land-soon-on-air/

But you are correct...big heavy transformers in amps don't mix well with 
shipping amplifiers.  I have an Alpha amp and the owners manual even 
cautions about moving the amp around the shack with the heavy 
transformer installed.
