Hi,

I learned a long time ago that the best policy is to put the power supply as 
far away from a rig as possible.  This is especially true with switching 
supplies as magnetic fields around the power supply can get in to all kinds 
of circuits in your gear.  Personally, my power supplies sit on the floor, 
underneath my bench.

Hey there,
do not put it on top of the power supply, you will regret it later.
John is right, heat issues can get nasty.

yaesu also has no quality control, I'd reconsider but it's up to you. I
wouldn't want to put an HF radio on top of a power supply, too much heat.
UHF/VHF maybe most of the heat is the heat sink there so not much of a
problem as long as the ventilation is there, but an HF rig, I'm not sure I'd
want to put it on top of the power supply unless I absolutely had to. I have
put my ic-706 on the samlex power supply before, but usually make sure
there's extra good ventilation and often a fan blowing between the 2 and I
still don't like to do it and wouldn't do it in a permanent install. At
home, the radio and power supply are very separated with plenty of room
around both.
