What kind of power supply are you using? The power supply may not be supplying enough current to the 400, while it supplies more than enough for the 200.

The question is how much wattage is coming out of the power supply. 10 watts, 15 watts, etc. Normal input power is either 110 VAC or 220 VAC.
Looking at the specs of the units you wish to run you must add all their input requirements together and add 15% to get the minimum constant needed power. Hope this helps.

How many amps does it put out continuous? That is the big question.

Okay, has it been "modified" to run on 11 meters? (I'm assuming you are running on the CB bands). I don't know if that would cause a hum or not but just another thought.

Hmmmmm, just to clarify, is this the base station 400, or the 400 mobile on a power supply? Was the Maco750 a base or mobile?
