Re: [Repeater-Builder] Tripplite Inverters

I've had problems with Tripplite power supplys. They randomly explode
and the company won't give you a schematic to fix one, but they will
gladly sell you another.

 Anyone every had any problems with Tripplite 12vDC to 110vAC inverters?  I am
 thinking of permanently mounting one in my car but I don't want one if it
 causes RFI or other problems.

 thanks

John, I use to Volunteer working   Midnight Security at a large Church, and
I had My Ham equipment in the Veh .  I did not have a DC Adapter for My old
IBM Laptop ,  So I  got a Tripplite 300 Watt Inverter  to power it , I the
RF Generated Noise was so bad I could  only hear  Strong PKT And other
Digital signals ,  

 

The RF Hash was so bad on My Icom 706 Mk-2  It blocked most Signals on  HF .


 

The design may have changed since then but that was My experience

 

Good Luck

How long ago was that or how old was the unit.  Tripplite just came out with a
new line of inverters about a year or 2 ago.

Do you happen to know the model of the unit you had that generated the RF
hash?
