Duane:
Get your volt meter out and measure the DC out of the supply. Make sure the
supply is regulating.

PS: Using an inexpensive radio is not a good idea. Their BFO's can be
"pulled" on strong signals, giving erroneous signals.

Duane,
I am "blessed" with many old, "boatanchor" receivers, and I just use one of
them with the antenna terminals shorted and the RF gain turned down to listen
to myself. Perhaps you could find something inexpensive and a bit better than
the S-38 level at a local hamfest or on the web that would do the trick.
Jim, W8KGI

My 25 amp power supply did a hick-up last week-end and since then I've
received
2 warble reports on 30.
No bad reports on other bands though.
I have a small hand-held icom RC-10 which has cw mode, and I listened to
myself on all bands with it the other day, but I'm not sure if I can
hear the warble or not.
Running the Jupiter.
On one report, I pulled the power down to 75% and was told it was still
there.
Your suggestions highly appreciated.
Tnx
Duane
