I've often pondered the notion of trying a 'rubber duck' antenna off a hand-held for applications like this. I suspect the range will not be seriously compromised while mechanical stresses at the base would be minimized. Mechanical and electrical attachment would be achieved with a feed-thru connector Emacs! Hmmm . . . just some random thoughts early in the morning . . . might find a hole in the logic after a few more cups of coffee!

Anyone have experience with the recent ebay offerings for cheap lab supplies? Example below. I tried searching my old AEC emails, but the most recent reference I found was for a much more expensive model. It'll get minimal use; just final checkout of my project's wiring and then rare uses after that, so don't want to spend $hundreds. 0-30v/0-10a bench supply Thanks, Charlie ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:14:37 PM PST US From: Ernest Christley Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Cheap bench supply?

From: "Eric Page" Charlie, Ive had a 0-60V 5A unit very similar to that one for several years. The electrolytic on its output once sizzled and smoked, but was easy to replace with a good Rubycon. You can expect any of the Chinese PSUs to have dubious caps from brands youve never heard of (CapXon, anyone?). The adjustment pots arent from the ALPS catalog, so its not what Id call a precision instrument, but if youre not designing medical devices, itll probably get the job done, cheaply.
