  • Wonder what this is at 5300Khz? - its always there.

    A quick update.

    I received the DC power supply, gave it some tests and it seems like a nice stable 5.18V on the output.

    I replaced the two Apple bricks, one for the KSDR and one for the Bias Tee, and connected them to the new linear DC supply, and from what I can tell, the "noise" is all but gone on that frequency.

    Will monitor and report any additional findings.

    Parts used:

    • 13.8V 5A Transformer (From an old Dick Smith unregulated power supply.
    • This DC power supply with a 5V fixed regulator.
    • A dual USB assembly from an old PC

    Left to do:

    • mount it all nicely in an enclosure ;-)
