Cannot get to 13.8volts Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I purchased this powers supply not too long ago and it was okey in the beginning, but not working good right now, it wont adjust to the desired volts even if i tried to adjust the knob. I hope i can get replacement for this. please email for assistance. kh2zz@yahoo.com

Great Supply Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've used this one for a year. Rock solid, no noise induced, rarely even hear the fan turn on- even when tx for several minutes. it powers my ft450, ldg 200 pro, and other misc. equipment. Voltage doesn't fluctuate under load. Very pleased with the performance and price.

Can't get 13.8 volts Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My JTPS45 will not adjust over 12.5 volts - it was fine when first purchased - but maximum output only 12.5 volts now

Excellent P/S Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
After a lot of research I narrowed my choices to a Ameritron or Jetstream. I am glad I chose the Jetstream. I have never had a power supply that was this quiet especially on HF bands.It works great.

Great Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
This is a SUPER PS especially for the money. Mine has been running everything 12VDC in my shack for about 6-8 months now without a hitch. It is very quiet, great regulation, and runs fairly cool. It has a constant load of about 6amps on it all the time, and peaks go up to 30amps when transmitting. No voltage drop show on the meter. R and L is the only place I have seen these for sale, but I am sure there are others. @ $149 for 40+ amps it is HARD to BEAT!

You can see my setup on my website.

Nice ,Compact Dont like the front with all the connectors. Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I,ve used my Jetstream now for about a year, Continuous duty 18 hours a day everyday of the week.Pros, it works without a hitch, great meters,i,ve only had it up to about 25 amps of pull and it performed perfect, I use it to power my Shortwave, preselector amp and audio in my radio transmitter.Its small in size, The fan is awesomely quiet and I recieve no hum whatsoever in my audio circuit,Its got multiple connections for equipment on it,3 for powering the small stuff at 7 AMPS max and the big Terminals for Maximum amperage. I personally would have rated it a 4.8 with the drawback of all the power connections on the front, I, ve got lines snaking from each one to my equipment it looks rather tacky, They would have done better to put at least some of them on the back of the unit.I,ve Used mostly Astron 35s other than this and was Satisfied with them other than the weight and size, For a big punch and compactness with real good features this one stands out.

Great Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Well, I bought this because I have bought several other Jetstream products and its working pretty good.. Its being use in a repeater and it does not get hot and the fan helps a lot..

Great product...
