- Curious, I have an RS-35M that keeps blowing the regulator, but it does it after some time of operation....like a day, sometimes a few weeks, then it goes out, supply shuts down. At first I suspected

- Clark, there is a mod recommeded by Astron and the CAP for floating a battery across a supply for emergency power purposes. Apart from isolation diodes and adquate fusing, this mode inserts a 10K res

- If you do not have the negative output post grounded directly to the cabinet of the Astron, then all sorts of spikes can hit the regulator and damage it. Mike N4NT

- My RS-35M came with the negative terminal connected to the chassis internally. This is not shown on the circuit diagram. I have also made the internal modification of adding a 10k resistor in the inp

- Grounding negative post at the power supply to chassis: It depends, Astron floats the supply to allow one to find the best grounding point, which usually is at the rig to chassis, NOT at the power su

- Clark... I have that exact supply. Have never blown it in several years of reasonably heavy use. I don't think that it is inevitable...in other words the design is not inherently bad. It must be misw

- Clark, I have not had that problem with my RS-35M, but first, I would try contacting Astron's service/engineering dept. and see what they suggest. At least they are made in the US where you have a ch
