It's about the same size at the MFJ-4125, and W&S may have a better reputation than MFJ. It does look like a nice piece of kit, but what kind of warranty coverage does W&S give to non-resident purchasers?
The price is very good, in fact, especially if W&S will do the required paper work for a VAT refund. 73, doug Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 10:58:35 +0000 From: "David Ferrington, M0XDF" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On the PSU - why not buy one here (I guess exchange rate might be an issue), I'm using a Watson Power-Mite, purchased from Walters & Stanton (Watson is their kit) http://www.wsplc.com/acatalog/Watson_Mains_Power_Supplies.html should be the first item on that page Its very small, quiet - both physical and appears to be on RF too Has switchable input voltage, so when you take it back it will work - it should work in any country I would have thought. A few nice features: * uses a standard power cord with 'normal' PC style 3 pin - just take the right cord for the country (anyone know right code for that kind of plug). * fan can run in auto mode or permanent on, it didn't come on much when I used it with my FT-857 in the summer. * short-circuit and over-voltage protection * adjustable voltage, so if you don't really need another supply at home, use it on the bench etc. since you're staying with family, have it delivered to them or get them to purchase for you, W&S have a shop in the Midlands and Scotland too. I haven't used the Alinco one, but it has an adjustment to compensate for the RF it produces.
