The RF Workbench / Re: ICOM AD-55 power supply output voltage adjustment
« on: April 04, 2024, 1433 UTC »
The instruction sheet can be found on the ICOM site: https://www.icomjapan.com/support/manual/1794/
and state an output of 15 VDC +/- 5% at 2 Amps.

I doubt that you will find any adjustments in this power supply. Photos at the link bellow.

Equipment / Re: Best MWDX antenna?
« on: April 01, 2024, 1520 UTC »
Quote
Today I noted a new solar panel installation on the next street. The direction appears to correlate with one of the annoying daytime noise sources, and the 20KHz spacing lends further support to a potentially noisy inverter.

By now, most installers are aware of the potential noise that the inverters can create. I seem to recall seeing something on TV, might have been on "Ask This Old House" about solar panel installations. Installers are supposed to mitigate the issue so I would approach them sooner than later to bring it to their attention.

Electrical noise pollution is a big issue.
