[TenTec] Radio Shack 25 amp switching supply?

[Clark Savage Turner]

OK, went and got one for $60.  Small, light.  Fan is not quiet.  Handles 
25 amps OK.

Nasty noises about every 100 KHz down on 80 meters, continues up through 
40 meters and peters out in strength.  I suspect (as advised by others 
on this list) I can quiet it all down with some effort, but now I think 
we get what we pay for in this instance.

It is certainly usable, does not make "hash" all over any frequency 
range, but if you try to have a QSO on about 3810, you need signals well 
over S9 to get over the power supply noise.  And the noise gradually 
moves in frequency.

That's my take on it.
