Re: Would this P/S work?
The 5W out is at 28MHz, where the IRF510 efficiency is worse than awful...I'll try a LM317T supply on my BITX40 and report the results. The 317T can provide up to about 1.5A.

Re: Would this P/S work?
even LT1083CP can well be managed upto 7amps of load. being a low drop regulator one can manage a trafo with 24V secondary regards Sarma jgaffke@...> wrote:

Re: Would this P/S work?
5w out powered from an LM317 sounds fine. And yes, the current limiting would be very handy. 20w out of the bitx40 with the irf510 at 24v would not work quite so well.

Re: Would this P/S work?
An LM317 is a "bullet-proof" choice for powering an IRF-510, in my experience. I use this solution for beacon transmitters and they tolerate about anything (except lightning!). Since the LM317

Re: Would this P/S work?
Yes, around 150ma. 0.5v sounds high, perhaps more like 0.1v rms for the microphone input? Laptop supplies are usually spec'd conservatively and are well designed.?

Re: Would this P/S work?
?I think the main board is about 100-150 ma? Droppng 12V (from 24--> 12) would be about 1.2 - 2 watts, could be done with a small heatsink. I don't yet know about the noiselevel of laptop supplies.

Re: Would this P/S work?
However, something like an LM317 with heatsink might be about right for powering the main bitx40 board from the same 19-24v. that you feed the irf510 with. Then you could get by with a single old

Re: Would this P/S work?
Powering the BItx40 at 24v will require on the order of 50w, A load like that would turn those ebay LM317 regulators into smoking ash. That stuff gets spec'd as aggressively as they can sneak by with.

Re: Would this P/S work?
Have you considered trying laptop powr supply? I found a 19V one in a thrift shop for $5 and it seems to work so far; I added a 50 microfarad cap and a 0.01 at the output; here is one from walmart at

Re: Would this P/S work?
The LM317 version of the DC converter would be my choice. You'd need a 15-24 volt AC power transformer for it's input. The Lab supply would be a bit of overkill, but if you're building circuits, it

for powering the bitX40? final to 24v? Just add the appropriate power transformer, fuse, etc, seems reasonable.?
