[ICOM] 2KL Pwr supply

[Adam Farson]

Hi Mac,

The IC-2KLPS is rated at 40V, 25A DC output.  It is a very rugged power
supply, but the pass transistors can fail.

I had an IC-2KL in my station for 10 years, and it was totally trouble-free.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

What sort of output is a 2KL power supply supposed to have?
I tould seem to me to be unlikely that anything really serious could be
wrong with it except maybe a blown transformer.

Wow!  Someone had bid $75.00 for an old P.S. that the owner clearly states
it does not appear to work.  Maybe I need to auction off some of my old junk
for an outrageous price.
The current owner says it does not seem to power up when plugged in. I am
not sure, this may be one of the older Icom P.S. that are turned on with the
on/off switch on the rig.  My 720A & P.S. worked that way, the P.S. was
controlled by the rig's power switch.  If you wanted to see if the P.S. was
working you had to use a jumper at the P.S. to rig connector plug to
substitute for the rigs power switch.
