Re: [IRCA] ALA 100 (power supply)

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And an additional comment about the power supply Nick mentioned. It's a 
special small wallwart type of supply, but unlike 99% of wallwarts which are 
unregulated, this one is a regulated 12.0 volt supply. That means you won't 
get hum from it. Andy Ikin at Wellbrook told me once that he had trouble 
obtaining such a supply in quantity. If one isn't currently available or 
only for certain antenna models, it's probably due to an availability issue. 
But as Nick mentioned, best to contact Wellbrook directly with any 
questions.
The US distributor Jameco may also carry that power supply, but I haven't 
checked recently.
