Topband: Desktop Power Supply Brand/Noise Question

[DALE LONG]

I think that both W8JI and K9YC have made good points and a discerning ham can make an intelligent choice.

Next topic !

Hi,

Unless I missed something we are talking "tampering" with our own gear - our own possessions. I would be reluctant to ever so much as touch somebody else's consumer equipment. However I have bought brand new radio gear and after running a day or two turned it off, opened it up, and customized it. None of that stuff failed to run as expected. Other gear I just opened up, tearing the "Do not open - no user serviceable parts inside" nonsense tag. I satisfied my questions about how it works and how it was built. How awful that some of us actually build electrical equipment from scratch!

YMMV.

73,

Bill  KU8H
