[RFI] New Astron Switching PS RFI?

[Gary Smith]

Imo, linear power supplies are still the best. Case in point, my Astron 
RS-35m has not missed a beat, it was the first purchase I made when I 
passed the technician(c) exam in 1968.

To this day, it continues to power all of my 12 to 13.8v needs.

Nuff said here about that.

It had a regulation problem if RF was in the shack, such as a nearby 2m mag mount in a hotel room on a marginal ground plane.  The RF/regulation problem went away when I bolted my 2m rig bracket to the top of the PS case.
