RCI 2995 DX Max PCB Voltage?

[HavaV10]

Thanks to all of the participants in this thread for contributing your knowledge. I've had the 2995 torn apart on the bench for a few weeks and working on it the little free radio time in have.

I ditched the chinese knockoff supply that ranger installed, got a meanwell lrs-350-12 (from mouser) that's ready to take its place. @nomadradio I've added your suggested in line fuse to protect the radio from a catastrophic event if it were to happen.

The reason for the tear apart is because of the heat generated from the knockoff supply. The radio would perform amazing until that supply fan would come on and heat the innards to where the radio stayed drifting off frequency. Until that point then it was to chasing the clarifier and getting reports of being off frequency.

So.... the solution came. A fan venting out of the back with air inlets on the bottom. In theory it should keep the cabinet innards at a pretty consistent temp but that's soon to be known. I'll share more as it comes together. So far here's some rough draft work to where I'm at. A work in slow progress.

More to come.

I have the MeanWell LRS-600-12 50 amp in my RCI 2995 DX and it works fantastic. It's a little over sized but it fits. I couldn't use the support bar cause of it being a bigger PSU. Had to swap out the fan in the PSU for a quieter one.

Kinda overkill, but as long as it's appropriately fused it should work well and the install is clean and looks great. Good job!

Yes sir, keep some of those flowers for yourself because yours turned out really well too.

Thanks guys, swapped out the old green LED's in the key pad tonight. They were very dim. Looks much better now.
