Mike,
Looks nice, but I've got a couple questions:
I only see one external connection, how is this unit connected to the radio? A jumper that passes thru the lid?
I suspect most FT-817/818 users power their radios from batteries, what is the use case for a power conditioner like this?
Thanks,

Hey, gang...

Things have been slow in the shack, so I've raised from the dead a project I started back in 2018. This is a power conditioner for the 718/818.

Unlike Phil's design, I can't remember his call, this is an external box.

The photos show a early proof build unit.?

There are Anderson power poles for input supply.
A field replaceable fuse
Reverse polarity protection
All kinds of noise and spike suppression
Can do 3A output all day long without adding heat to the 718's chassis
the whole shebang mounts into a cast aluminum Hammond box.

A new design is being worked on, and if there is enough interest, I might move forward with this project.
Might have a need for a few beta testers soon.
