Re: Panasonic/Matsushita Switcher HV-PS u-Wave Oven

Dick
 

Very interesting Rich.
What would be the regulation of this switched mode power supply?
Cheers, Dick

I purchased one unit from Costco. The price was $99. The unit was
surprisingly light in weight compared to my old transformer-
powered
400W u-wave oven. I found no RFI problem from 50 - 550 MHz. The
rating is 1300w, which is most probably the DC input power to the
magnetron. At 120V, c. 17A of current is drawn. If a SSB amateur
radio amplifier was built using the Matsushita switcher PS, two
units
are probably needed. By putting the 120V inputs to the two
switcher
supplies in series, operation from a standard, 240VCT, 20A outlet
would work. I have not yet disassembled the oven to measure the
HV.
Does anyone know what's the typical range of potentials used to
power
magnetrons of this size? tnx

And what's the alternative? I should "out" him? That's not my prerogative, either.

I have been a member of amps since its inception, and while I disagree with prior restraint of speech, I think its series of moderators have acted with great self-control in the face of extraordinary provocation. I believe the previous moderator resigned at least in part because of the private vitriol directed at him.

I'm done now - if you guys are going to run an amps reflector, talk amps.

My guess is that Pete won't get banned from here, if that was what he was implying. If he chooses not to post here, it will be of his own free will. at least, this is my understanding of policy on this new and improved list.

I wonder who else has been banned from the other list in the past week...

I am very happy we have found a new unmoderated home. Recent posts on
the old group have been boaring to say the least.

Welcome to all and lets continue to have free and meaningful
discussions on this great topic!

Here's a simple request from one op who is interested in amps. Personal grudge matches are bad news and will put off people who don't have any ax to grind. If we really want to support ham amplifier work, this stuff is counterproductive. Let's take our flames back to the NNTP world.

I am giving the Yahoo group a try, because I think the anonymous moderation and "appropriate use" policies of the other list were very worrisome.

I hope I don't have to unsubscribe from both of these groups!

I agree Pete, although I also maintain strict topic focus on the

There is no Admin of AMPS. From its beginning in late 1996, AMPS has always had a moderator --- who was identified. I got booted off AMPS three times by three different moderators for questioning the accuracy of W8JI's technical statements.

I'm not either ;^)
Chortle. Nobody is the "Administrator". It's another Rauchian word game. For example, Tom says I wasn't booted off of AMPS, he says I was "unsubscribed".



W4AN was not a fan of free speech -
Definitely not. AMPS got started in 1996 because things went badly for W8JI during the grate parasitics debate on rec.amateur- radio.homebrew. W4AN's AMPS provided W8JI with a venue where anyone who disagreed with W8JI's technical fumbles could be booted. Thus, Tom's guru status could be protected, at least in the minds of those who believed in his infallibility.

RE: W4AN & free speech: After Bill Fisher died at such a young age, I tried to find out how it happened. I could find out nothing from the County Coroner. Rumor was that there was an automobile accident, that the car landed in water a considerable distance from the highway, and that it happened near a drag-strip in Georgia. My guess is that the Coroner's Report was suppressed because the toxicology finding would have been an embarrassment.

he replaced me as Admin of
Towertalk when I refused to censor posts there; this is not a knock on
Bill, just a difference of philosophy.
Censoring posts should be a last resort. When censoring becomes a weapon to protect pals, the group gradually loses credibility and begins morphing into a mutual admiration society.

I run a local community affairs mailing list with only two rules - sign
your real name and maintain basic civility - keep it substantive, not
personal.
sounds reasonable, but the ultimate censor is being ignored by the rest of the group.

In 6 years, I've had to ban one person for a week. A
parallel list has no such rules, and has disintegrated into ugly name-
calling.
AMPS has had ugly name-calling and no action was taken because the name-caller was a pal of the "Administrator"-censor, W8JI. During the grate debate on rec.amateur-radio.homebrew, there was an abundance of name calling from the Rauchian camp after Wes, N7WS, published the measurements of Q, Rp, Z, and Y of low-Q parasitic suppressors vs. W8JI parasitic suppressors.

From what I have read, such a regime on amps would have worked pretty
well, though the Admin would have had to ban a few people.
But Joe Subich is Tom's pal.

farewell, Pete

Thanks to W3SLK for the info, it finaly made the
old amps-list.
I was sorry to see what happened over at the old list,
personally I hate censorship no matter what it is.
I sent a message there announcing the creation of this new list and it was censored, so I guess if "you know who" erased it to prevent AMPS "instability".
Things became personal matters.
