[Icom] Pro II and using tuner on 6 meters...

Sat, 23 Mar 2002 10:53:53 -0800

When I bought my PRO (ancient), I was told to buy everything new with 
it.  So I did.  The PRO and ATR-15 tuner, and a Yasea SPS.  Then I 
complained, awhile later about spikes on 160 and part of 80.  Someone said 
that it was the SPS.  So I went to the storage and picked out the old power 
supply, ASTRON  RS-20M.  The spikes went, the power supply works great.  I 
have been thinking of hooking up the 2M rig to it also but still with the 
ICT COMM 10 SPS.

So I think that for HF the bick transfomer power supplies are better, as 
long as you stay within the amp range.
