There have been troubles reported in the past with the Astron RS-35 due to
RF energy entering the unit. I do not know if newer models have eliminated
that but here's what they said ten years ago.

MIKE.
1ST CHECK YOUR AC OUTLET GROUND IT MUST HAVE GOOD CONNECTION
2ND. MEASURE FROM THE -13.8V TERMINAL TO CHASSIS, IF NO DIRECT CONNECTION,
RUN A PIECE OF WIRE FROM -13.8V TERMINAL TO CHASSIS.

Subject: RS-35 in an RF environment
Several people have advised me that Astron had a service bulletin for the
Astron RS-35 (and possibly other models) which advised to strap the negative
post of the supply to the cabinet to reduce or eliminate problems caused
when RF energy affects the supply's regulation. This is in particular a
frequent problem in the amateur radio service.
Could you confirm such bulletin and either email it to me or point me to the
URL that will allow me to view it, please?
Many thanks,
Mike Hyder
