Steve:
Another thing I have occasionally wondered out loud on the list about is
whether my 15-year-old Astron RS35 power supply might be in need of
replacement at some point.
I have another 20-amp Kenwood supply here that I might just put in the
circuit for a while to see if anything behaves differently.
