Hi, all -
I have replaced the four supplies in the 9420 beast with four Astron SS-25's.
At first all seemed well but then I experienced reduced power out from the 420
Herc.
Upon investigation, it seems that one or more of the Astrons shuts down so not
all four sections of the amp are powered. I see that, if I turn off one
supply, that there is backfeed from the amp showing up on its output. My guess
is that the one of the supplies (a little slower to come up?) senses the
backfeed voltage from another one and this triggers some protection feature.
I have only the sheet that came with the Astrons - no schematic or detailed
technical info. Tomorrow I will call them to see if they can shed any light,
meanwhile perhaps someone here has experience or insight?
73,
Tom Macon, K9BTQ
