    PowerMax Power Converter ?....

    The power cord is very short, I put it on a small surge strip with a power button. I was hearing the noise in the monitor and had a few reports of it humming. I am switching things around tomorrow to see if I can isolate it.

    PowerMax Power Converter ?....

    I put the radio on the powerax and the amp on a homebrew supply and no noise at all. Next I am swapping them around to see if the noise comes back. I have been delayed with other projects and am just getting back to this.

    PowerMax Power Converter ?....

    I purchased the pm3 100lk, it is great for the radio radio, but if I power the texas star dx500v it gives a lot of noise in transmit. I need to find a way to quiet it.

    100 amp power supply

    This made me pull out what I once called Frankenstein. 2 -100 amp supplies I had combined with an aluminum heat sync holding 2 MBR 60/100 semiconductors. It was not pretty but it functioned. Had a smaller 12 volt converter on it to power the fans, and a lot of hot glue.

    Great amp definitely puts out the watts. Asking $700 due to shipping cost. Photo showing watts is @ 15.5v with 7watts in. I would not run it that way I would keep it at 13.8v with 3 to 5 in to guarantee longevity.

    Ssb handheld cb

    I am definitely keeping my eyes open for a decent deal on one. I have to throw a few more dollars in the radio jar first though.

    All of those are awesome. I was sitting here and had the thought I wanted one, but had no luck with a basic Google search.

    Why

    Could the antenna connection been acting as ground?

    Why

    I was rearranging some things today and noticed my radio stayed powered on when I removed the ground wire. Why would it do this?

    I was just talking to a guy in "cow town" texas...Texas lives in the delaware/NJ receive.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Speaking in terms of s units 150w and 200w is just about the same thing on the receiving end...you pretty much took the words out of my mouth in this response.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I have to agree with the power statement. AM and SB if you are under 200 watts you are only making contact with frustration.

    Dimming the lights

    Upon just checking it is only with the amp on.
