<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Most of us have linear 12V 20A-plus supplies in the
shack to power existing HF/VHF transceivers – this is how I was intending
to power the ‘high power’ side of my HPSDR transceiver, plus a
separate regulated power supply for the -12V and 3.3V side of things. To
do away with the need for the latter power supply is great!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>For those of us old-timers with a dislike for (noise-generating
and break-down prone) switch-mode supplies, a linear LPU unit which gets its
power in this manner and plugs into Atlas is a more attractive solution than
Demeter anyway and would be permanent.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Scotty’s original LPU schematic sound great too.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
