Delta Electronics DSP60M for $189 yes or no

[Maxafterburn]

So I'm in the market for a power supply for my President Lincoln that I am planning to set up as a base. I see this unit advertised for sale directly for $189 brand new. Then I have seen it advertised used for $150-$325 depending on where you look.

#1-is this a decent power supply?

#2-is the $189 version the real deal or some scam? https://www.deltaelectronicsonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Delta-DPS60M

Thanks,

Ken

Delta is so so, I'd suggest an mfj or jetstream over a delta supply and probably at a better cost. The ones below are plenty to power that president.


Just my own opinion

That's the most preferable if you don't mind getting creative with the power terminals. Really the best bang for your buck. I use one (35 amp) on the experiment/work bench and it's been going for about 5 or 6 years now.

I am old school and really like my Astron 70m and 35m. If I was going to get something else I would get a Mega Watt, several locals have them and they work great.

Big Thumbs up for Megawatt. I bought a 36 Amp version. It's tiny, quiet, doesn't create any interference and didn't cost a fortune. It also runs all my gear perfectly. Couldn't be happier.

I currently use 3 of the 50A models because the 50A are made to be ganged without an external current sharing circuit. I use two in parallel for my DX-500 and a single one for my radio.

How many amp tops can the dx 500 use?

How many amp tops can the dx 500 use

According to texas star they say 50 to 55 amps but I'd say 60 to 70 amps to give a little extra.

Edit: they actually say 45 but I would still say 60 for the headroom.

How many amp tops can the dx 500 use?

I've not really checked mine accurately. But, I have a meter that shows about 47A when using SSB. I never use it on AM so I cannot tell you about the dead pull. I've got a clamp-on meter and when I fire it up today I'll hit it hard and get a quick peak on it for you.

How many amp tops can the dx 500 use?

On sideband, driving it to the max, but not overdriving it, I'm getting 59.7 amps at 14.3 volts. The amp is putting out nearly 650 pep

Those seem like nice numbers, that is a nice pep too. Appreciate the info.

Mike, do you know if these units will adjust to 16\17 volts?
I have a application, non radio, that needs min of 16 volts.
