Hi all,
In the last Elecraft digest, regarding noise of the Powerworx switching
supply, it was posted:
>>Check out the 25 eHam reviews.
>>It's not without issues for some reviewers.
>>Mostly RFI on some HF bands and fan noise.
And notably Wayne posted:
>>results with switching supplies can vary with type of antenna feed.
>>For example, I wouldn't use a switcher if you have no choice but to
>>use an random wire leading directly from window to rig. Good
>>grounding can also help. I'm not sure if a 100% noise-free 30-amp
>>switcher has ever been designed...
As a manufacturer of a compact switcher for HF transceiver use, we have
performed a LOT of testing on this issue. A short summary of our
findings is on our website on the FAQ tab at:

To summarize, common-mode current due to antenna system issues does
indeed play a role in apparent switching supply noise. Please read the
FAQ for more. I don't want to post it here due to it's promotional content.
Cheers & 73,
