Anyone out there running a switching supply with a 160W brick and a rig on the
same supply? Have been running an IC-271A (20W) and a Mirage B1016 (160W) for
about 8 years now and my 35A Pyramid supply has finally died. The amp and rig
never pushed the PS all the way. I have read review after review on different
PS's on www.eham.net and still can't decide what I need to do exactly. Seems
there are so many variations in reviews. Just trying to see if any of you are
running a switcher and if you are having any problems at all. Right now just
for the reason of the "no matter what warranty", multiple terminals, and a good
local dealer I am leaning towards the 40A MFJ. The Diamond 40A looks ok, the
Diawa has good reports but only 1 set of binding posts and is 30A, and then
there is the Astron which is 25A too. I don't know that the Astron has quite
strong enough. I think my amp and rig together pull about 27A an that is not
counting any other accessories. Any good reports
on any
of the supplies mentioned? Don't get me wrong, I like the regular old
regulated supplies with large transformers just like the Pyramid that I have
but I could use some more deskspace and something lighter for mountain-topping
since my old supply finally gave up the ghost anyway. Rusty Boling NE4ME
