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.
