Hi Andy,

It sounds like you are using a switch mode power supply.
Some of these units give off lots of hash which reslt in lots
of noise in your rig.
I'm not usre what you can do to lessen this other than
change it. Hopefully, the next post can point you in
the right direction.

Take it back and get a LINEAR power supply (Heavy transformer, bridge rectifier and regulator/smoothing circuit) eg Palstar PS-30M.
Sorry to be a spoiler but there is nothing else you can do

These are PSU'S are mainly for RC stuff charging batteries etc...get rid of it quick smart and get one that's actually advertised to work radio equipment

:o I've had the same PSU running my S9 for about a month now with no problems? How near is your psu to your radio? What problems could arise from using these then, thought they'd be ok? :blink:

You could try a sharmans 23amp one,been running my gear on one for over a year without
any problems at least they are for radio use.Of course you cant beat a linear supply they
are without doubt the best :)
