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.
