George,

Check out the Nov/Dec 04 issue of QEX (from ARRL). There is an article 
about converting ATX supplies to amateur use, but the article includes a 
descripton of the original design and many of the "cost saving" 
redesigns that have happened by removing  "unnecessary parts" such as 
RFI suppression. It may provide enough info so that you can get your 
supply back to the original ATX configuration, which may solve your RFI 
problem.

But, now the poor 300 watt PS gives up the ghost after 1/2 hour of use. No hits on "AGI" in Google. By the way, the 300W PS weighs twice as much as the 450W PS!
