Desktop Power Supply from a PC modified for Rig

Here is a homebrew P.C. power supply modified for Rig usage but current is only limited to about 7 Amps. So if you want to power your VHF Amateur Radio at high power it will not take it!

http://web2.murraystate.edu/andy.batts/ps/powersupply.htm



Example on a ICOM IC-2100H at High Power will be 55Watts and it will consume 12Amps! This is too high current drain therefore the modified power supply will definately burn out in about 60 Minutes usage. But if you use Medium Power which is 10Watts. Then the modified power supply will be suitable for the usage. Just add a Amp meter in series with the Rig and powersupply to monitor the current drain will not get your powersupply burned out!

  • Using a single 7812 IC voltage regulator and multiple outboard pass transistors, this power supply can deliver output load currents of up to 30 amps for our VHF Rigs.

  • Here is a 13 Volt 20 Amp PSU.

    This is a Regulated DC power supply with short circuit protection and with current limiter.

    This PSU has been especially designed for current-hungry ham radio transceivers. It delivers safely around 20Amps at 13.8V. For lower currents, a separate current limiting output, capable of 15ma up to a total of 20A has been added.

  • Automatic Retransmitting Makeshift Repeater!

    This circuit will be of interest to the radio amateur and anyone posessing two radios, (one of which must be able to transmit i.e. a transceiver). It is a self powered (audio derived) repeater circuit for receiving a signal and re-transmitting it via the other radio.

  • Get to know what type approved rigs you can import in to Malaysia?


    http://www.cmc.gov.my/mcmc/what_we_do/certification/certification.asp

    The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission has issued a notice to exempt

    certification for certain types of communications equipment for holders of amateur

    radio operator's certificates (Class A or Class B).

  • Well I guess no one specific ham society or 40 thieves own this blogs. It is open to everyone who loves sharing homebrewing and technical information on Amateur Radio modification and many more!

    That is what ham radio is all about experimenting!
