Re: Power supply
The spec's say that the Eventek switcher has "ripple and noise" of "0.5% V P-P", so 0.005*12 = 60mv P-P at 12v out. The MFJ4230MV has "ripple and noise < 100mv", that may be rms, definitely worse than

Re: Raduino clicking when microphone is connected or keying CW. #ubitx-help #radiuno

Re: To shield or not to shield, that is the question.
Well when we build a radio into a metal box, then attach several wires to it, that can compromise the shielding. And cut a large opening for a display its not as shielded. I have a slight preference

Re: Power supply
The Tekpower TP3005T looks like an excellent bench supply. A linear power supply using a tapped transformer, so likely cleaner than most switchers, still reasonably efficient. Though at $80, kind of

Re: To shield or not to shield, that is the question.
Hi, Shielding also protects the receiver circuits from external "crud". So much for the QRP argument. *All of my radios live in steel or aluminum, even the one with pretty plastic panels on the

Re: To shield or not to shield, that is the question.
If you don't care, a metal case is probably best so you can shield it. I'm doing one for my personal use that has a metal surround, but plastic end panels (easier to cut). However, the "display model"

Some have built in metal boxes, some use plastic boxes, and some put metal shielding inside the plastic boxes.? Is it a ,should do, must do, or doesn't really matter at these low power levels.??

Looking at the output of my uBITX on 160m on a spectrum analyser, you don't want to go there! However, a simple external low pass filter makes all the difference. Attached is the circuit of a LPF that

Re: Power supply
Supplies made for amateur radio are usually quiet. You don't need instruments - if you hear the supply in your transceiver it's too noisy. I have two 30 amp linear supplies, but my precocious desktop
