Is this an effective power supply to use with a HAM rig? Solid power with no crazy RF?

Absolutely! Solid power all right; Will run VHF effortlessly, and 100 watt HF easily and charge the cabin batteries to boot.. Although I had the power transformer develop an internal short in the first unit I bought (NEW), but I had a bigger spare in the junk box that just squeezed into the case. The second unit I bought on ebay, the pass transistors were fried, so I replaced them with heavier duty units. Now they both work like I want. (Will pull down the 2000i Honda Generator just by dialing the voltage you want for the load.) Same as most electronic equipment from China I guess, It ain't made in America. But, I'm satisfied with it. Gunde VE7TNN

Mine smoked after less than a year (on my todo list to repair it) I bought an Astron SS-30 to replace it which is a lot quieter and smaller.

Honestly I don't know. I only use it to power my old 1970's style police light bars. Wish I had a better answer for you.

Do not buy this product. Bought mine, connected it at field day, keyed up the mike and poof. Went through hell to get it fixed under warranty. They would not exchange it but instead fixed it. I had to pay shipping for the warranty myself. There are much better power supplys out there.Steve M

Pyramid usually works out of the box....and then dies a few years later...I have used Astron and Pyramid....I prefer Astron...especially with an expensive 100 watt HF radio that draws 25 amps on SSB voice peaks...Also I like a fixed output (13.8 vdc....not adjustable) and two meters (volts and amps)and connections on the back...

i used it for 10 meter and 11 meter or cb plus an amplifier. now a freind is usin it for his cb (s). he is doin very well.

mine lasted a year then quit and all i used it for was to charge batterys for my remote control airplaine, HINT= i dont fly in winter.. i went to manufacturer right here in brooklyn and basicaly they told me tough,buy another one. my next unit came from hobby king and it is more powerfull and has lasted me longer . oh, and was a lot cheeper also.

Most definately! This is one of the best power supplies on the market. I highly rate it and recommend it!

It is perfectly safe. The main benefit in this scenario will be the protection against unauthorized data transfer. The port cannot output more than it is specified. So even if you ask a 500mA port to output 1.0A, it will still only output 500mA.

Ah! Well, I've used it with 30 and 50 watt VHF and UHF TX. When I bought it, a fellow ham warned me about some of them being quite noisy, but I have had no issues at all. For its size and price, it does a great job!de WJ8I

I agree with GEEZERBUTLER.. who could recommend a powerful + compatible + cheap power supply for this computer?/ thanks

Idk if it's the "best", but it worked perfect for my setup. I installed a mono amp, sub and the power Works to turn on and off the amp.

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

I can't comment on the power supply. I didn't have the unit on long enough to experience any power issues. I was so disappointed in its performance as a scale that I returned it and went with the GemPro 250.

It comes with a 3 amp power supply. Should be adequate for one wireless device.

Yes it is enough for non overclock use since I ran this on one of my older alternative desktops using only 700 watts

I was running one of these with an older PC Power & Cooling 430 W PS, never had an issue. If you are going to overclock it, you are going to have a tough time with two of them on anything less than an 850 watt power supply. But that has been my experience; your mileage may vary.

yes, as long that is not too old and is a good brand, i tested with a 500w (new) cheap generic power supply and works well too.

as this card doesn't have a fan onboard, auxiliary power is not needed. it should be fine with your system. I use the same OS and it is working very nicely.

I installed this on my grandson's computer with 350watt power supply. Only one hard drive and one dvd/cd drive. As long as you don't have a lot of power consuming additions you should be ok!

Shouldn't be a problem at all. I would definitely get the radio shack power supply others recommend in the reviews, and I switched out the stock tube with a Mullard so now this baby sings! Hope this helps.

This one should do the trick. It's 150w and 19.5v. It's great for my power hungry alienware. Good luck!

Having connect both a diawa power meter through to a dummy load I can indeed verify it's a stable. 60W over a range of frequencies. Quite different from performing a MARS mod on a typical Ham radio and see power fluctuating all over it's ranges.9Z4CY / KZ4CY
