SUPER POWER SUPLLY!
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|

I've used for DXpeditions over past 10 years. I can take this smaller Power Suplly with my Kenwood TS480s, Heil Headproset, Micro Ham and Paddle on the suit-case. I've the european version (DM330-MVE). I've test on RTTY with other PSU comparing and these are SUPERB POWER SUPPLY. No Noise, No HOT . I'm really happy and I recomend to others who liked DXpedition.

Excellent workhorse on your hamshack table
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I must say I was first in doubt about what to expect with Alinco quality - but i have not been dissapointed at all; The DM-330 is a workhorse to trust in my shack.
The amount of induced switching noise I have come across have been very little, and always have I been able to tune away from it with the noise control function on the front panel.
I extensively use the various output features; 4mm banana, ring terminal, plug terminal, cigarette plug - for various 12V needs around my shack, and during /P operations, it always ends up being the hub for all the 12V "customers", because it so conveniently provides interfacing for every plug standard you may find during e.g. a field day operation.
I recently used the DM-330 to power my Icom-7000 through the 24 hour operation of the IARU HF World Championship, running great pile-ups on 15m. Current draw up to 17-20A (peak) in SSB and CW CQ operation, and after 24 hours of heavy duty work, the PSU was still running solid as a rock.
I however noticed that it becomes considerably warm on the top cooling ribs - perhaps 50-60c, without the fan starting to run - so now I am in doubt if my fan or fan control actually works or not.
If not - then I'm still impressed that the DM-330 took so much beating without backing off or shutting down.
I'm a fan!

Neat PSU
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Got it a week ago and my conventional homebrew supply at last can retiere after 18 years of loyal service.
I love the small footprint, power output, low weight and multiple connection terminals (including a 10A cigarette lighter type terminal).
I've got to aggree with DO3MIB, the leds are a bit too bright for my taste (easy fix), but all in all: a neat psu.
No switching noises detected so far and the cooling fan is so quiet you have to to check it visualy to see if it's running (no kidding).
Worth every 89 euro I spent on it.
Just one thing: I just got a nasty shock after unplugging and accidentally touching the terminals of the mains lead, no harm done, no complaint, just don't try it yourself, it stings :).
I think it's the best bang for the Buck, or Euro.

Well done, Alinco!

This is a great little PSU. I got the european version (DM330-MVE). I use it to drive my 706, Autotuner and an Amp. Theres no problem, no noise. Neither in SSB nor on PSK the unit gets really hot, max power i need is about 24A. The vent is silent an comes on rarely.
The only thing i dont like: In a dark ambience the LEDs for Power and Preset are too bright. A resistor solved the problem.

Great Power Supply
|

Well, I got it on sale and its doing great. I like the preset feature that prevents you accidentaly puting extra voltage on your radio and the other great feature it does.
Great value for the price/money paid

Good PS..
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I've had this PS for two years and found it to be very reliable powering a TS-480SAT or ProIII at 100w. It once displayed some switcher noise on 80m, but when I changed my antenna to a balanced configuration, the noise was eliminated.

Good value but not perfect
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I go camping a lot and I love field days - for this, the little Alinco is great! It is solidly built, stays cool and is easy to transport. Does a good job in most instances. So why the 4/5? Under some conditions and depending on the exact physical installation (which is seldom the same under field conditions), some switching noise is still audible on some HF bands. Suppose you can't have it all.

Excellent Service

I am very pleased with this Alinco Power Supply. The eHam.net reviews were quite helpful and the guys at my Radio Club had high praise for this equipment, I like the meter and ability to monitor the power use. Both back and front access is highly desirable - I installed banana plugs that work well in the rear access and can use the front access for antenna tuner power.
