[Icom] Found a problem.

Fri, 16 May 2003 11:43:23 -0500

Interesting,

I have replaced all my Icom power supplies with the PS 125, I love them and
I would have to count but I think I have about 20 of them. They are quiet,
do not spike or sag on load or power up and take up a lot less space.

I cannot detect any hash in the rigs nor the computers.  Maybe one of the
reasons is every one of mine are the European version with the 2 wire power
cords ???????

I am using them on the 730 thru the 756PRO II's

I refuse to use switchers of any brand after (initially) using an Icom
PS85 -
unbelievable crud from that thing confirmed by ARRL tests.  Yeah, I finally
got
my $$ back after a *lot* of runarounds.  On this specific item, Icom was in
complete denial.  Dealing with computer switcher, etc. garbage causes
enough
headaches without having to fix one running the radio too.
