For guys who live in the Cleveland/Euclid, OH area:
HGR Industrial Surplus, 20001 Euclid Ave, Euclid OH 44117-1480
Phone, 216-339-2799, ask for David Cehlar
They have about six or seven clean commercial Tenma 30 Amp Max
(Analog) DC
Power Supplys, Model 72-630 available for $49.99 each.
The one I bought on Wednesday has a calibration sticker of 3-31-11 on
it.
I don't have any interest in this company and just noticed these
supplies
when I visited the warehouse with my son-in-law. They seemed like a nice
value to me. 73,
Ted, W2TAG

The one I ordered through Amazon is showing a delivery time of
approximately one week from tomorrow. Other distributors have them at a
similar price and each lists several of the 40A (#1692) in stock.
Maybe, with all this discussion, there will be a "run" on them. :)
Hobbyking would not process my order, said the zip code must be
numerical,
which it was.
On the $300 power supply Amazon said, "Usually ships within 1 to 2
months",
really 1-2 months?

Yep, you could do that. But, I had a $1000 12v 50 amp commercial
supply
fail at my repeater site (not lightning related) and it took out 5
repeaters. The name of the PS fails me at the moment. So, it can
happen
at any level.
The point is all hardware fails and there are no guarantees.
Like others, I have many astrons that have never been turned off
(almost)
for almost decades. Not one of them have taken out a radio.
If you are really really concerned, run off a 12v battery and then
float
charge that. That is the closest to a solid solution and you'll
never have
an overvoltage issue.
There is no end to this discussion, so can we end it?

And if you chase down schematics for these:

...you see a very rudimentary, SCR-crowbar, non-temperature

hobby supply. Why not pay an another $100 to better protect a $7K
radio?

Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Power Supply Advice
Just to be a devil's advocate, if you take the time to read most of
the
236 reviews ( I got bored at about 50) for the RS-35A & M there are
many
testimoials of has been used for 10, 15,18 or 20+ years without fail.
Some
have never been turned off. Sure there are some failures but it
does not
appear to be a prevalent occurrence. For what it’s worth I have one
but
use
the Icom PS-125 switcher instead to power my Flex. Several years
ago they
were plentiful since they gave them away with the 756 PRO series radio
and
I prefer its size.
