[PPRAANet] PPRAANet Digest, Vol 208, Issue 5

Tue Aug 17 10:53:12 EDT 2021

Good morning,

Regarding power supply recommendations, I use the Samlex SEC-1235M. I have two of these units. One is in the shack that provides power for an HF rig, 2 meter rig, and dual band rig while the 2nd supply is used for field/remote use. This supply only weighs 3.4 lbs. and only 7.28” x 8.35” x 2” as space is at a premium in most ham shacks. This supply has an easy to read voltmeter and ammeter on the front. The fan is automatic and very seldom comes on during normal use. 

73,
Gary, KB5AEB
