Re: [Flexradio] Portable power supply for Flex-3000?
Thanks for all the suggestions about portable switched mode power supplies. I'll have a closer look at the Alinco DM-330MV, Powerwerx SPS-30DM and Samlex SEC-1235 options. 73, Brian VK3MI ZL1AZE ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] Portable power supply for Flex-3000?
At home I use an ALINCO DM-340MV big supply. For Field Day and other demonstrations I use a PowerWerx.com SPS-30DM very small switching supply. It has a digital voltmeter and ammeter and is adjustable from the front. Have not heard (or seen) any noise yet.

I Concur. I use these supplies also and they're excellent. 73, Steve K5FR -Original Message- From: FlexRadio [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Ray, K9DUR Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2013 8:50 AM To: 'Brian Miller'; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Portable power supply for Flex-3000? Brian, I have several Alinco DM-330MV supplies & have never had any trouble with them. The oldest one developed noisy fan bearings after about 9 years of almost continuous operation, but that is the only hint of trouble I have had with any of them. I have never detected any RFI generated by the supply. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
Re: [Flexradio] Portable power supply for Flex-3000?
I have a F5K so don't go portable with it...but I do go portable with an IC706iiG and bought one of these because of its size/weight: http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-4125P I also like that it has some binding posts and a few PowerPoles. For 25A it is TINY! I am not a big fan of MFJ, but have had good luck with this PS. I hear some minor birdies & warbling when portable, but think it's environment and not the PS. Manageable. Fan makes a whirring noise but also manageable.

Hi all I'm looking for a small and lightweight AC power supply to power my Flex-3000 radio when travelling. I'm thinking of a small switch mode supply but it will need to be very quiet from an RF noise perspective. Any recommendations for a power supply in this category?

The SEC 1235M is also great. I have used it and its meterless cousin for many years without any trouble. AES sells them (among others).
