[Elecraft] Power Supplies

[Phil LaMarche]

I have an Astron RM70 to power the shack. 20+ years and not a hiccup!
Highly recommend....

The Astron Power Supplies are great.  Don't always believe what people at
Hamfests tell you.

Check the connections inside the chassis and make sure all the mounting and
connection screws are tight before turning the 50 amp supply on.  I've been
using the same Astron AS50 for 15 years and it has never failed to operate.

years) and its voltage was also fluctuating a bit (maybe needs to reform
caps?) (I’ll try it later on a ... should I say ... a radio I will not worry
about too much ... or build a load for it). At a local swapfest last weekend
a seller had several Astron power supplies that he was selling as parts
units. He commented that they were unreliable.
