Works great with the Yaesu FT-8800R, a 50w/35w VHF/UHF mobile, I use in my ham shack. Very good price for a power supply that is very similar, if not almost exactly the same, as the much more expensive Yaesu FP-1023 and Kenwood KPS-15. A great secret that will save you some big bucks!
Don’t be fooled by the lower price, the construction and performance is still top notch. The power supply is slightly larger than my Yaesu FT-8800R. It’s made from metal that has been coated in some kind of black protective coating. The fit and finish of the construction seems top notch and it does not have any rattle from the inside parts. It has one fan that is at the bottom and vents slits on either side. The cooling fan pulls the air out of the bottom. It’s a very simple power supply. Only one illuminated red switch in the front with a logo and model number adorned near it. Two tubular holes with set screws for the +/- in the rear along with a port for the powercord. The bottom has 4 rubber feet that keep it very stable and allows for air to flow. It comes with a 3-year warranty. If you want a cheap & simple 13. 8v 23amp power supply, this is your winner.
I haven’t tried it with a HF unit, but there is no radio frequency interference at 2m(144mhz) and 70cm(440mhz). I heard rumors there may be some RFI in the HF bands, but if you have some problems in HF try searching on the Internet for ZL2DF’s helpful RFI reduction mod.

Truthfully, I bought my first SEC 1223 because of price and was a bit apprehensive that the quality would not b e there. Fact is, it has been trouble-free and, importantly, generates no RFI. I am about to buy a second one becasue my current requirements have increased. The SEC 1223 has been a good buy.

I have had this supply for several years. It is quiet (literally and radio interference-wise) and provides all the power it promises. It is also very light-weight and compact. The price is great! What more could you want?

It’s compact and quiet. It’s RF filtered, which is often important in switching power supplies. Some have complained of RF noise. Not me. I have used mine for several years with a high-end HF transceiver. Check eham. net for additional reviews. The big proplem I have with the Amazon listing is the price ($174. 95 or something like that). This unit routinely retails for only $99. 95, with sale prices about $10 less.
