his is a BEAST! I bought it used at this year's Shelby Hamfest. I kind of knew it was overkill but with my power needs soon going way down, I'm downsizing. This is one of the highest rated power supplies available. The downside is the weight. It's 46 pounds.

Variable voltage and current (up to 15 volts and up to 37 amps continuous, 50 amps peak). I'm currently running a 100 watt HF rig and a couple of 50 watt mobiles. I set all three up to transmit full power simultaneously and this supply didn't even blink. I'm not certain but I think I heard it say "is that all ya got?"

I'll ship it if I have to (you'll pay shipping of course) but I highly recommend a local sale. I'm north of Charlotte but a trucker friend of mine offered to help if someone in the Rochester, NY area wanted it. I'm also willing to meet any SC hams at the state border by either I77 or I85.

Thermistor recently installed to prevent tripping circuit breakers. Works great!
$175.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
