[TenTec] TenTec Digest, Power Supplies

[Richards]

Not so, Dick Tracy.

Unfortunately, and I am loathe to knock any team I am on, my TT Model 
963 switching power supply (purchased with my Omni VII) puts out hash on 
frequencies other than ham bands.  Not awful, but enough to notice as I 
use it to run my scanners and SWL general coverage receivers, including 
a TenTec RX-320D.   TenTec says it only tests for noise in the ham 
bands, so I am stuck with it. Again it is not a show-stopper, but those 
ARRL tests would not have helped me any.

Thus, I am not totally happy with my TenTec switching supply other than 
it does not bend the desk top.   I built a stand for the two heavy 
linear supplies under the desk where I cannot kick them, and and they no 
longer warp the desk top.   I am sold on linear supplies, despite the 
added weight and cost.

Just MY take...
