Re: [Elecraft] CES2014 micro power supply
Here's what I use for travel. Only thing I changed was the output plug to PowerPoles... http://www.gammaresearch.net/hps-1a.html 73 Jeff KB2M Interesting... Your radio uses power only 35% of the time when transmitting CW, and about 25% during normal Voice SSB operation. But a lot higher percentage if you run RTTY or some other digimodes. Or you have a lot of speech processing and play with contests! (They do an adapter from Molex to PP anyway for the DC side.) Like your contrymen say about automotive stuff. There's no substitute for Cube's if you want power. Take care peep's. There's no mention of CE, FCC or UL (safety) approvals, or if there is any over-voltage protection (for your expensive radio, and/or other DC powered kit.) I suspect too, that small fan might make an anoying noise. (If it shifts enough air to do any good.) 73.

Re: [Elecraft] CES2014 micro power supply
Well I've had my Gamma for maybe 5 years, used it with several brands of transceivers, and don't do anything stupid like try to run RTTY, FM, or AM modes at full power, or run excessive speech processing. I do run PSK31 a lot when operating with it, but only at 30 watts or so. This is all common sense. I have never heard the fan, it is quiet. I don't have it here right now(it is at my summer home) but I think there is a CE or UL sticker on it, or both. I have experienced NO problems. Depending on your operating habits YMMV... 73 Jeff kb2m -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of g8kbvd...@googlemail.com Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 5:00 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] CES2014 micro power supply Here's what I use for travel.

Re: [Elecraft] CES2014 micro power supply
no CE or UL on my Gamma... input ( since it is a switcher ) is marked on back 85-264...\ I put powerpoles on the front on mine and a big sticker reminding me 30 watts rtty/psk it IS a 4 A switcher inside... bill At 10:30 AM 1/10/2014, Jeff Griffin wrote: Well I've had my Gamma for maybe 5 years, used it with several brands of __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Elecraft] CES2014 micro power supply
Hi All Just seen a smart idea at CES 2014, a micro power supply 65W wall plug style and dream one day to see a 12v/20A (240+W or so) wallplug switching PS eventually build-in my K3. Yeah I know filtering and harmonics could be an issue (there are good solutions this days) but when you have to travel a vacation style micro PS could save big $$ on flight. Still at home my 1st choice is a linear big and heavy PS to stay on the safe side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLQB67RqZsk vy 73 de VE3GNO Daniel __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
