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. -----Original Message----- From: For blind ham radio operators [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Miller Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 11:45 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Power Supply 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Ryan" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 11:27 AM Subject: Power Supply > Hi list:=20 > > I'm looking for a slim line power supply, something that I can place a > = compact HF Transceiver on top of.=20 You know, stack the units to > create a nice compact station. =20 I'm thinking of the Yaesu FT-450.
