1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>This is a brand new power supply from rig Expert

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>called a shack Master six hundred. This is a replacement

3
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>for their last power supply, their last shack Master power supply,

4
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to go through the features today and

5
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>put it. I'm going to fire up the seven oh

6
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>five next to it and see if it causes any RFI.

7
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 1>So let's go. This is the Gigapart's website special thanks

8
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 1>to rig Expert and gigaparts for sending this to me.

9
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.559
<v Speaker 1>You could see right now that it says accepting back

10
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 1>orders and reserve ors now, ships in two to four weeks.

11
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure this is even out yet. I think

12
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>this is brand new. I just got it like a

13
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>week ago, maybe week and a half, so I don't

14
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.520
<v Speaker 1>remember now. And it is the replacement for this previous

15
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>one that I did a video about a while back.

16
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>If we go here, yeah, the shack Master five hundred

17
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>compact power supply thirty six amp power five hundreds out

18
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>of stock, no longer available. Click here for an alternative.

19
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 1>And now we're looking at this power six hundred power supply.

20
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>And this thing has a lot more options for power

21
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>poles and USB on it. So I want to take

22
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 1>a look at the overhead cam right now, that's the

23
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>front of it right there. You can see it's got

24
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>the touch screen the way the old one did. Yep,

25
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>swipe to switch off. Okay, now it's nineteen oh seven.

26
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>That's the time on it. You can set the time.

27
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>That's not actually the correct time, so swipe to switch on.

28
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>There we go shock Master Power six hundred. You can

29
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 1>see right there there's two USBA ports and two USBC ports.

30
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 1>These are both vertical, of course, two power pole ports

31
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>right there on the front. That's really convenient. You can

32
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>plug in six devices right there. Two radios or radio

33
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and a tune or maybe something like that, your phone,

34
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 1>your tablet, your camera if you're a YouTuber and wanting

35
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to make some videos. You can plug in all kinds

36
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 1>of peripherals like that. And then on the back of

37
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the power supply traditional posts right there of course positive

38
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>and negative. There's a hard switch right there to turn

39
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.519
<v Speaker 1>it off and on too. You can do it via

40
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.599
<v Speaker 1>the soft touch which we did a moment ago, or

41
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you can do it be a hard switch right there.

42
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 1>There's also two more power poll ports on the back

43
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and another USBC even so that's three ports right there,

44
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 1>plus the six on the front. You can plug in

45
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>nine different things all at one time with this thing.

46
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Of course, you got to watch the watts in the

47
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>amps out that it's doing. So six hundred watts is

48
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>what it's advertised at and right here it says reliable

49
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>power delivering a steady forty amps of current ensures your

50
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>equipment performs optimally USB recharging ports right there. Six hundred

51
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 1>I think refers to the wattage total wattage, because the

52
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 1>last one was five hundred and this one is six. Yeah,

53
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>so rated power is six hundred watts right there. Rated

54
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>current is forty amps. Output voltage is twelve to fifteen volts.

55
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Software adjustable input eighty volts to two hundred and sixty

56
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 1>four volts. Wow, Holy cow. Okay, so it'll run on

57
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 1>a two twenty circuit. I guess that's odd. I don't

58
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 1>know how it It doesn't come with a twenty plug.

59
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Is it's standard one ten plug or one twenty plug,

60
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to call it. So more information about

61
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>that right there. I'll leave a link to this gigabarts website.

62
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>It does come with this neat little stand as well

63
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>that you can see right here where you can. If

64
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to set it down flat on your

65
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 1>desk like that, you can put the stand on the

66
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>side of it like that and then it sits upright

67
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 1>and you can rock it back and forth like that.

68
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 1>But it's definitely a put it right here on the

69
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>on the front, so where your front is facing up

70
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>like that, and then you can look at it, and

71
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 1>the screen rotates with you ninety degree rotation on the screen,

72
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 1>so you can read the screen. So if you're looking

73
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 1>at it like this, it's if the desk is here

74
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's sitting down like that, you can still read

75
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 1>the screen and plug things into it. It's sideways at

76
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>that point, but then it's kind of like that in

77
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 1>front of you. So let's I'm going to fire up

78
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>this Icy seven oh five that I have sitting right

79
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 1>here and see in fact, I'm gonna plug the Icy

80
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 1>seven five into this power supply and see what kind

81
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>of RFI there is if any I suspect it's pretty quiet,

82
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>But let's let's find out, all right, I've got the

83
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 1>power the Icy seven O five in the armlock cage.

84
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 1>This is my armlock cage in battery that I got.

85
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I picked up at Huntsville in August of twenty four

86
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and right now, I don't have this battery plugged in

87
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>because I've got it plugged in straight from the radio

88
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>to this power supply right here, and you can see

89
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it's drawing zero point three AMS with the icy

90
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>seven o five powered off because it's charging the internal

91
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>battery on the seven oh five. So we're gonna turn

92
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that on and we should get it come up and

93
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 1>it says one hundred percent power right there. Okay, so

94
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>we got one hundred percent power right there. I do

95
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>not have an intenna plugged into it right now, but

96
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the scope and I'm basically just kind

97
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>of looking at to see if it's if it's causing

98
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>any noises and birdies sitting right here next to the

99
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 1>radio like it is, and you can clearly see on

100
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>ten meters it looks just fine. So that's obviously that's

101
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 1>ten meter ft eight as well. I'm on right there.

102
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>If we go to twenty one that is fifteen meters,

103
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 1>go up to twenty meters, we're still not seeing any

104
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>birdies on the scope at all. With even with the

105
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>antenna sitting right the unconnected antenna port which is right

106
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 1>here actually unconnected in tenaport right here, I've got a reroute.

107
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>The antennaport comes off the side of the radio here

108
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and it reroutes to the back of the armlock cage

109
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 1>right there. So it's got a port on it right there.

110
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>And even with this power supply sitting right next to

111
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it powered up and you can see it's drawing zero

112
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 1>point four amps now thirteen point eight volts, it is

113
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>still I mean, we're not seeing anything here at all.

114
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>So there's no birdies on it, nothing on it, no

115
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 1>spurs on the readout, no nothing at all. So if

116
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>we connected an antenna to it, okay, right there, plugged

117
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>in this antenna right here kind of out of the

118
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.199
<v Speaker 1>camera right there. Okay, I've got this intenna plug being

119
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 1>right here, just kind of running out of the shack.

120
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 1>It's just kind of pulled out for a received type INTENDA,

121
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>not really tuned for any band right now. So you

122
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 1>can see the scope on ten meters there. We'll go

123
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.720
<v Speaker 1>back up to twenty meters and that's the scope. That's

124
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>a very clean scope. No birdies, no uh. In fact,

125
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>down there it's even quieter, isn't it. So very clean scope.

126
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 1>No birdies, no, like there's a little something right there.

127
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Of course it's going to pick up signals, but there's

128
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:33.199
<v Speaker 1>not any RIFI interference you would see like squiggly lines

129
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>or some kind of like weird something in the scope there.

130
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 1>So as we change frequencies, you know, obviously it's gonna

131
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 1>change the scope a bit. Right there, there's the top

132
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty meter band, nothing very strange in there.

133
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>So this seems to be pretty RIFI quiet. This is

134
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 1>obviously not a very scientific test. This is just a

135
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 1>field test to say, hey, if you were to take

136
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>your radio out into the field or you know, have

137
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 1>it in hamshack here. I mean, realistically, you're not going

138
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to take one hundred ten volt alternating current power supply

139
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>into the field. Probably there's some parks that have pavilions

140
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>with a one hundred and ten volt AC and cool.

141
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.199
<v Speaker 1>I guess if you want to do that, or if

142
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 1>you have like a power station, solar generator type power

143
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>station you're taking with you, you can plug this into it.

144
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 1>That's cool also, But most of the time you're gonna

145
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>be sitting at home or in the hamshacker, maybe in

146
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 1>the RV that has one hundred and ten volts and

147
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 1>using something like this, so you can see it's not

148
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>really causing much of an interference right now, and that's

149
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times these cheapy power supplies, they will

150
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.879
<v Speaker 1>as soon as you power them on. There's just like

151
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.319
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of birdies and noise and dips and squiggly

152
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:40.079
<v Speaker 1>lines in the scope, and we're not seeing any of

153
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 1>that here right now on three different bands fifteen meters

154
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>right there, so we can see that. It looks like

155
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a really clean scope for that as well. So there

156
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>you go. That's pretty much a win in my opinion,

157
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 1>and it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Looks

158
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.279
<v Speaker 1>like a really nice, very nice looking power supply. And

159
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.319
<v Speaker 1>remember you can save on my gigaparts page. You can

<v Speaker 1>Rig Expert is all over my gigaparts page. I'll put

162
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>a link to that in the description below. What do

163
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:12.839
<v Speaker 1>you think? Do you think this is a cool upgrade?

164
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.519
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the power supplies that I have

165
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.399
<v Speaker 1>seen with the most ports on it, especially powerpole ports.

166
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have the banana plug ports, it doesn't have

167
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.879
<v Speaker 1>like the it has the terminals in the back that

168
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>you can wrap a wire around or get a ring

169
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>terminal to put around. Sure, but you know your older

170
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>power supplies had that. Nothing else. This one has three

171
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 1>no SO s two in the front tow in the

172
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.639
<v Speaker 1>back SO four power pole ports on it, three USB

173
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 1>C ports, two USB A ports, plus the positive and

174
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 1>negative terminals in the back. Pretty cool power supply. I'll

175
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>put a link to it in the description. Blow be

176
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.639
