Hello All...
I recently purchased a 20 Amp Pyramid power supply for my Yaesu FTM-3100r, and though it works, I have some grimaces with it. First off, it's very loud; the fan is super loud and on all the time. This is my biggest complaint about the unit. Secondly, it's not 20 Amp constant, but seems to do well with the 65w TX of my rig, where the amp draw only shows ~12 Amp when broadcasting at 65w.
I'm going to be getting a Yaesu 857d soon, and will need to get a beefier power supply for the radio, and want to hear what you guys think as far as make/model. I've looked at the MFJ 30w, but feel skeptical about something that small capable of 30w, but I really don't know. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
