Hi Brett.

I have been very happy with the MFJ 25 Amp Switching supply.  It got tested
under some rather severe conditions when a set of finals on my Icom IC-706
Mk II  blew, effectively shorting out and presenting a dead short across
the supply.  Well, the current limiting circuitry kicked in and shut the
supply off until I removed the load.  When I removed the load, and powered
the supply up, it came right back as if nothing happened.

I wish I thought I could say as much for Icom's VSWR protection circuitry
on the '706.  For those of you that have them, treat them carefully.  I
paid over $260 to get it back, because when it blew, it took out both
finals and the driver transistors at $55 each.  The fellow who repaired it
was decent on the labor or else it could have been a lot worse.
73, de Lou K2LKK
