So Far, So Good!

Bought a used RS-4A for twenty-bucks. Does all I need it to for a little 2-meter HT, and programming my car scanner. Doesn't take up much desk real estate either. Mine is the older gray industrial looking one, sort of ugly, but it works. This is my second Astron supply, first was a RS20A, never had a problem with either. Haven't had it long, but so far, so good!

Had an old (30+years) Rat Shack Tandy supply that went south and needed a small amperage unit to replace it with. Being not that fond of switching power supplies(guess I am old school), I checked out the linear RS-4A. Nice and compact, it is very well made. No buzz, hum or any such noise during operation. Does not get hot or warm for that matter. Comes with a readable schematic and a complete parts list, not that I plan on using that anytime soon. I run a RS-35A for the power hungry equipment, but to run a HT or a 5-10 watt 6 meter rig, the RS-4A is perfect. Doesn't take up much room and you won't get a hernia moving it around. You get what you pay for, Astron quality cannot be beat.
