I have the Alinco P/S. It is a good one, just remember that the front connections are strictly for low amp loads.

Mine has been on continuously for over 20 years. I have never heard of a failure.

I missed the July hamfest which was closer for me; but I hope to make this one, if anyone thinks it will be worth the day trip:

Hey all I am taking the test tomorrow and have read one of the study guides I picked up online and have been tacking QRZ's practice exam for Tech.
The only practice test I have seen for Tech are 2010 dated. Will I be ok if I am scoring well on the 2010 test. I have to drive an hour to the site and will be really pissed if I am using old info.
So what do I do now? I know I have to wait for my call sign but I thought I read somewhere that you can "tap" into other peoples rigs via the internet?
Id rather do something like that to learn?

Luckily I live on the third floor and not a lot of people walk behind the building so I think I can get away with something. No way can I clamp something to the railing since it can easily be seen. I came across this on YouTube and think it will be my first shot.

I'll start by laying it on it's side realizing it should be vertical, but I can put it on the bottom of the balcony right under the railing. Worst case is I stand it up next to the sliding glass door. If this doesn't work, I have a few other antennas in mind.
Anyone have experience with the Yaesu FT-8800R radio and/or Alinco DM-330MVT power supply? Those are my two front runners at this point.
Not sure id you made your selection but I havr the Yarsu 8800 been great for 2 years pain in the butt to learn to use though.
