On your review on the KLV 550, it was very well done and very educational, about the built in power supply, 3AMP can I hook my external frequency counter as a power source to it? and is there a time minute factor to run it, I have a Tripp lite PR3A that I got from Copper that you can only run for 5 minutes on 5 off at a time,is it to small to hook a mobil on the bench?
Thank you very much

NO, you cannot run any large draw unit off the 550 power supply.
What is the draw of the frequency counter? The draw determiines what can be used.

Ironmask Thank you for answering my question, all I could find out was it requires 9-15 V DC 500ma, now my Tripp lite falls right in there, and works great but there is that 5 minute time factor, and I allow three minutes warm up, then I test the frequency counter to my radio, what do they use the power supply for, it is so small
Thanks again for your time,

It will work fine with the 550, no time limit. I use mine to power a Roadpro Titan II radio (single final, turned down to 1 watt DK). Works great. I know alot of guys that use it (the PS) to eliminate 2 or 3 "wall-warts" from their shack.
