Re: MFJ-4245MV Product Reviews

Mike,

I appreciate your recommendation very much. However, I checked out the
product reviews for the MFJ-4245, and while some were good, several were
extremely negative. The reviews were either 0 out of 5 or 5 out of 5,
nothing inbetween. The frightening part is that the llack of adequate
voltage spike protection caused some rigs to fry. If your experience is
positive, you appear to be one of the lucky ones! I don't know if I would be
that lucky or not, but I hesitate to take the risk! <lol> FYI, check out:

Subject: How Much Power Supply Do I Need?

Ron,

Buy yourself an MFJ model 4245 power supply.

It is a 45 amp switcher that will give you all the head room you need.
Besides, how likely is it that you will ever transmit on both rigs at the
same time anyway.

I have been running both my TMV71 and TS570 on one of them for 2 years with
no problems.

This thing is about half the size of the old Astron 20 amp traditional
model, and only weighs about 5 pounds.
