I have used a 650 watt computer P.S. for many purposes with no real
problems other than having to:
1) Filter & Shield for the RFI that it generates
2) Put a resistor load on one of the outputs so that the thing would be
stable (as mentioned in an earlier email).
But I think the best solution is th
ATX PC power supplies are very inexpensive ($20-$30), highly
efficient and very lightweight, and basically use the same concept as
those modern lightweight "wall-wart" wall transformers. But due to
their switch-mode nature they generate a great deal of RFI in the HF
regions, specially the lower

Sorry Jim,
You need to take your exceptions to world realit
Yes, but ...
You will need to adapt the connectors, perhaps add metering,
and test for RFI.
They generally work OK.
The big ones designed for huge server arrays can power full
legal SS amps.

OK gang .. Can someone provide a definitive answer to this
question? I see all kin
