Using it for ham radio. My older linear supply becomes rather hot after a 15min CW (morse) chat. The Samlex SEC 1223 is a switcher and remains cool through 30min at full power where my transceiver draws 20A during "key down". Then the fan comes on so I can go on without it overheating. The fan noise is in my opinion very tolerable, just a strong air rushing but no buzzing sound. It would be nice if it came on gradually but no big deal. Most impressive: It is a single-layer board built around the really old TL494 chip. Yet ... no RF noise that I could find! Hat's off to the designer.

The item is not better than expected, because one mosfet Q1 was defective. I ordered another one and now the power supply works fine.

Nice power supply. I haven't had any particular problems, but if you're a Ham you might want to consider a model you can tune the birdies away from your frequency with.

This kit replaces all of the commonly failed parts in the power supply, however, it does not include the 680uF 200v caps or R17, which is a 1.5 kOHM resistor that feeds 24 volts to the PWM control IC. If you install this kit and the voltage is still jumping around and you hear a slight rattle from the transformer, check for 24 volts on Pin 12 of the IC and R17. Replacing R17 should fix the problem.
