I tried eBay - there is one available which is close, but the wattage (and therefore current) rating is too low. The one I need is rated 200w, whereas the one on eBay is only 150w. I could use it in a pinch, but the monitor draws pretty close to 10A (150w) continuous, and I don't want to be replacing the module anytime soon again, as it is a real PITA to get to.
I also fired off an email to the IFR guy in Wichita to see if he has any in stock. Meanwhile, I have sourced a few out of China for a reasonable cost, although shipping will be as much as the part! Anyone interested in a few spares if I go that route? Thanks for the responses. Eric K2WD Thanks for the suggestion. --- In [email protected], mpavlica <mpavl...@...> wrote: > > Try on ebay.com i found them recently.
