Switching or not? The negative comments about switching supplies are about 10 years out of date. Besides being much more efficient (power conservation), modern switching supplies also have better regulation under load and are capable of delivering a cleaner DC.. Now that the switching supply technology has matured, linear supplies are the CRT and film camera of the power supply industry. Just about any new professional/commercial grade product such as broadcast transmitters will be powered by a switcher now. I bought my last linear supply 4 years ago, heavy and overpriced and like CRT monitors and film cameras, never again except possibly for a 1.5 kw RF amp.. 73 rob / k5uj _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
