[Icom] New IC-756Pro Problem

Thu, 28 Mar 2002 15:09:21 -0500

Paul:
I use a Astron SS-30M as my main station power supply.  I have 2 HF Rigs and
one is a IC-756 PRO. Iv owned 4 new Astron RS-35M supply's over the past
10-12 years and every one of the Astron RS-35's have had transformer core
hum.  It will drive you nuts!  I could hear the transformer hum 5 feet away.
I finally tried the Astron SS-30M.  It's a super quite supply except for
some fan noise when the fan cycles.  I have a easy mod that will help reduce
the fan noise problem in the SS-25M or SS-30M.  It can be found at
www.e-ham.net/home under Product Reviews / Power Supplies
