    Singing ferrite....

    Solids only. The clamps do buzz. Don't remember who said it but "almost like talkback". Will get your attention. If your solids are sliding you can you use hot melt clue.

    DC Power supply

    I would have to agree with Tallman. I have not tried the powermax. I have actually broke my Megawatts and have got great support from Mr, Marles(just nutty stuff by the way). I have 3 50's @ 14V stacked and with a DC clamp meter an old Toshiba 667(and much larger) draws 50-87 amps. Good stuff.

    MegaWatt vs. Chinese Imitation 30 amp switching power supply comparison

    Hello, yes the S-700-12 is 1/2 the volume it used to be and soon the S-350-12 and S-400-12 will be almost silent. Above ground????? They are buying 100s of power supplies a week. Somebody is shipping them:) Thank you, John Wanted to make sure he was above ground. He is. Those new specs look great.

    ALS-500M Would YOU use one in the shack???

    Mudfoot, I respect everything already said here. I have one and have used as a base. Been hitting it with 70 watts that puts me close to 375w out(narrowish). I have really just started with HF and has really helped. Just checking into nets and stuff. If conditions were better the width would be...

    Base Can you measure your I- Max 2000

    Here are my findings. All taken on 75ft of tramflex RG8X Diamond SX20 meter and Astatic PDC1(they were the same one easier to see than the other). Texas Ranger 636f and ICOM 706 MKiiG. would have used an 857d but on am it cuts back power. 2m and 440 are as they should be. All SWR at 4 watts(or...
