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.

  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
