Ray. would that circuit work to power a GRR5 receiver ?  do you have to be careful about the voltage drop for the 1.5v side?  Jeff

Just finished a DAG radio direction finder using this same converter. Its providing 90 volts and replacing a B battery. Built a small box that takes the output of a twelve volt SLA Battery and provides 1.5 and 90 volts for the direction finder. Found that the inverter was fairly quiet but is almost completely lacking any output filtering. It also produced noise on the input buss to the battery but keeping everything in a meatal box and short it was not an issue. Regulation was ok but did notice there are some points where the PWM system on the board will produce weird noise at some settings. Think the little inverter is good for low power things like replacing B Batteries but would not trust it for things like 225 B+ supplies in a big radio.

I have had good luck with this one.

Hi Folks

 

A while back (perhaps a few weeks)  there was a thread on DC to DC up converters in which there was one particular unit that quite a few people liked.

 

I thought I saved that info but didn't.  If anyone has the info, please forward.

 

Thanks
