Hi Everybody,
My beloved IFR500AM/FM has a dead/dying power supply. It's been repaired several times by an Australian service/calibration lab... but now it has been declared terminal, parts are no longer available.
From what I have read, the IFR 500AM/FM power supply seems to be the weak point in an otherwise fairly solid bit of test equipment. Is there any hope or should I forget about trying to get it going again.
What is a good low-end replacement/equivalent? Don't really need any trunking or digital capabilities. SSB would be great (I do a lot of marine HF repair work).
