It is best if you use a controlled current supply. The 10A meanwell is highly recommended. Your sbitx will arrive with the switching regulator installed and the bias set. Don't try alignment. It comes prealigned. Just connect a low swr antenna and get to work.

Hi All I am receiving the SBITX this week per DHL.? Any cautions that I should be aware of?? I have been reading up on the 5V LDO supply and replacements with a buck converter.? Just wondering if there are any.. don't do this.. or that types of comments.? It looks like the 5V is for the Pi and display so wondering what the new Rx current looks like with the higher efficiency buck converters.?? Just anticipation :-) 73 Brad N8YG
