Speaker 1: This is a brand new power supply from rig Expert
Speaker 1: called a shack Master six hundred. This is a replacement
Speaker 1: for their last power supply, their last shack Master power supply,
Speaker 1: and we're going to go through the features today and
Speaker 1: put it. I'm going to fire up the seven oh
Speaker 1: five next to it and see if it causes any RFI.
Speaker 1: So let's go. This is the Gigapart's website special thanks
Speaker 1: to rig Expert and gigaparts for sending this to me.
Speaker 1: You could see right now that it says accepting back
Speaker 1: orders and reserve ors now, ships in two to four weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure this is even out yet. I think
Speaker 1: this is brand new. I just got it like a
Speaker 1: week ago, maybe week and a half, so I don't
Speaker 1: remember now. And it is the replacement for this previous
Speaker 1: one that I did a video about a while back.
Speaker 1: If we go here, yeah, the shack Master five hundred
Speaker 1: compact power supply thirty six amp power five hundreds out
Speaker 1: of stock, no longer available. Click here for an alternative.
Speaker 1: And now we're looking at this power six hundred power supply.
Speaker 1: And this thing has a lot more options for power
Speaker 1: poles and USB on it. So I want to take
Speaker 1: a look at the overhead cam right now, that's the
Speaker 1: front of it right there. You can see it's got
Speaker 1: the touch screen the way the old one did. Yep,
Speaker 1: swipe to switch off. Okay, now it's nineteen oh seven.
Speaker 1: That's the time on it. You can set the time.
Speaker 1: That's not actually the correct time, so swipe to switch on.
Speaker 1: There we go shock Master Power six hundred. You can
Speaker 1: see right there there's two USBA ports and two USBC ports.
Speaker 1: These are both vertical, of course, two power pole ports
Speaker 1: right there on the front. That's really convenient. You can
Speaker 1: plug in six devices right there. Two radios or radio
Speaker 1: and a tune or maybe something like that, your phone,
Speaker 1: your tablet, your camera if you're a YouTuber and wanting
Speaker 1: to make some videos. You can plug in all kinds
Speaker 1: of peripherals like that. And then on the back of
Speaker 1: the power supply traditional posts right there of course positive
Speaker 1: and negative. There's a hard switch right there to turn
Speaker 1: it off and on too. You can do it via
Speaker 1: the soft touch which we did a moment ago, or
Speaker 1: you can do it be a hard switch right there.
Speaker 1: There's also two more power poll ports on the back
Speaker 1: and another USBC even so that's three ports right there,
Speaker 1: plus the six on the front. You can plug in
Speaker 1: nine different things all at one time with this thing.
Speaker 1: Of course, you got to watch the watts in the
Speaker 1: amps out that it's doing. So six hundred watts is
Speaker 1: what it's advertised at and right here it says reliable
Speaker 1: power delivering a steady forty amps of current ensures your
Speaker 1: equipment performs optimally USB recharging ports right there. Six hundred
Speaker 1: I think refers to the wattage total wattage, because the
Speaker 1: last one was five hundred and this one is six. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so rated power is six hundred watts right there. Rated
Speaker 1: current is forty amps. Output voltage is twelve to fifteen volts.
Speaker 1: Software adjustable input eighty volts to two hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: four volts. Wow, Holy cow. Okay, so it'll run on
Speaker 1: a two twenty circuit. I guess that's odd. I don't
Speaker 1: know how it It doesn't come with a twenty plug.
Speaker 1: Is it's standard one ten plug or one twenty plug,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. So more information about
Speaker 1: that right there. I'll leave a link to this gigabarts website.
Speaker 1: It does come with this neat little stand as well
Speaker 1: that you can see right here where you can. If
Speaker 1: you don't want to set it down flat on your
Speaker 1: desk like that, you can put the stand on the
Speaker 1: side of it like that and then it sits upright
Speaker 1: and you can rock it back and forth like that.
Speaker 1: But it's definitely a put it right here on the
Speaker 1: on the front, so where your front is facing up
Speaker 1: like that, and then you can look at it, and
Speaker 1: the screen rotates with you ninety degree rotation on the screen,
Speaker 1: so you can read the screen. So if you're looking
Speaker 1: at it like this, it's if the desk is here
Speaker 1: and it's sitting down like that, you can still read
Speaker 1: the screen and plug things into it. It's sideways at
Speaker 1: that point, but then it's kind of like that in
Speaker 1: front of you. So let's I'm going to fire up
Speaker 1: this Icy seven oh five that I have sitting right
Speaker 1: here and see in fact, I'm gonna plug the Icy
Speaker 1: seven five into this power supply and see what kind
Speaker 1: of RFI there is if any I suspect it's pretty quiet,
Speaker 1: But let's let's find out, all right, I've got the
Speaker 1: power the Icy seven O five in the armlock cage.
Speaker 1: This is my armlock cage in battery that I got.
Speaker 1: I picked up at Huntsville in August of twenty four
Speaker 1: and right now, I don't have this battery plugged in
Speaker 1: because I've got it plugged in straight from the radio
Speaker 1: to this power supply right here, and you can see
Speaker 1: it's it's drawing zero point three AMS with the icy
Speaker 1: seven o five powered off because it's charging the internal
Speaker 1: battery on the seven oh five. So we're gonna turn
Speaker 1: that on and we should get it come up and
Speaker 1: it says one hundred percent power right there. Okay, so
Speaker 1: we got one hundred percent power right there. I do
Speaker 1: not have an intenna plugged into it right now, but
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the scope and I'm basically just kind
Speaker 1: of looking at to see if it's if it's causing
Speaker 1: any noises and birdies sitting right here next to the
Speaker 1: radio like it is, and you can clearly see on
Speaker 1: ten meters it looks just fine. So that's obviously that's
Speaker 1: ten meter ft eight as well. I'm on right there.
Speaker 1: If we go to twenty one that is fifteen meters,
Speaker 1: go up to twenty meters, we're still not seeing any
Speaker 1: birdies on the scope at all. With even with the
Speaker 1: antenna sitting right the unconnected antenna port which is right
Speaker 1: here actually unconnected in tenaport right here, I've got a reroute.
Speaker 1: The antennaport comes off the side of the radio here
Speaker 1: and it reroutes to the back of the armlock cage
Speaker 1: right there. So it's got a port on it right there.
Speaker 1: And even with this power supply sitting right next to
Speaker 1: it powered up and you can see it's drawing zero
Speaker 1: point four amps now thirteen point eight volts, it is
Speaker 1: still I mean, we're not seeing anything here at all.
Speaker 1: So there's no birdies on it, nothing on it, no
Speaker 1: spurs on the readout, no nothing at all. So if
Speaker 1: we connected an antenna to it, okay, right there, plugged
Speaker 1: in this antenna right here kind of out of the
Speaker 1: camera right there. Okay, I've got this intenna plug being
Speaker 1: right here, just kind of running out of the shack.
Speaker 1: It's just kind of pulled out for a received type INTENDA,
Speaker 1: not really tuned for any band right now. So you
Speaker 1: can see the scope on ten meters there. We'll go
Speaker 1: back up to twenty meters and that's the scope. That's
Speaker 1: a very clean scope. No birdies, no uh. In fact,
Speaker 1: down there it's even quieter, isn't it. So very clean scope.
Speaker 1: No birdies, no, like there's a little something right there.
Speaker 1: Of course it's going to pick up signals, but there's
Speaker 1: not any RIFI interference you would see like squiggly lines
Speaker 1: or some kind of like weird something in the scope there.
Speaker 1: So as we change frequencies, you know, obviously it's gonna
Speaker 1: change the scope a bit. Right there, there's the top
Speaker 1: of the twenty meter band, nothing very strange in there.
Speaker 1: So this seems to be pretty RIFI quiet. This is
Speaker 1: obviously not a very scientific test. This is just a
Speaker 1: field test to say, hey, if you were to take
Speaker 1: your radio out into the field or you know, have
Speaker 1: it in hamshack here. I mean, realistically, you're not going
Speaker 1: to take one hundred ten volt alternating current power supply
Speaker 1: into the field. Probably there's some parks that have pavilions
Speaker 1: with a one hundred and ten volt AC and cool.
Speaker 1: I guess if you want to do that, or if
Speaker 1: you have like a power station, solar generator type power
Speaker 1: station you're taking with you, you can plug this into it.
Speaker 1: That's cool also, But most of the time you're gonna
Speaker 1: be sitting at home or in the hamshacker, maybe in
Speaker 1: the RV that has one hundred and ten volts and
Speaker 1: using something like this, so you can see it's not
Speaker 1: really causing much of an interference right now, and that's
Speaker 1: a lot of times these cheapy power supplies, they will
Speaker 1: as soon as you power them on. There's just like
Speaker 1: all kinds of birdies and noise and dips and squiggly
Speaker 1: lines in the scope, and we're not seeing any of
Speaker 1: that here right now on three different bands fifteen meters
Speaker 1: right there, so we can see that. It looks like
Speaker 1: a really clean scope for that as well. So there
Speaker 1: you go. That's pretty much a win in my opinion,
Speaker 1: and it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Looks
Speaker 1: like a really nice, very nice looking power supply. And
Speaker 1: remember you can save on my gigaparts page. You can
Speaker 1: save five percent off on anything made by rig Expert.
Speaker 1: Rig Expert is all over my gigaparts page. I'll put
Speaker 1: a link to that in the description below. What do
Speaker 1: you think? Do you think this is a cool upgrade?
Speaker 1: This is one of the power supplies that I have
Speaker 1: seen with the most ports on it, especially powerpole ports.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the banana plug ports, it doesn't have
Speaker 1: like the it has the terminals in the back that
Speaker 1: you can wrap a wire around or get a ring
Speaker 1: terminal to put around. Sure, but you know your older
Speaker 1: power supplies had that. Nothing else. This one has three
Speaker 1: no SO s two in the front tow in the
Speaker 1: back SO four power pole ports on it, three USB
Speaker 1: C ports, two USB A ports, plus the positive and
Speaker 1: negative terminals in the back. Pretty cool power supply. I'll
Speaker 1: put a link to it in the description. Blow be
Speaker 1: sure to use the code KC five HWB at checkout
Speaker 1: to save five percent. Thanks guys seventy three, and thanks
Speaker 1: to gigaparts and to rig Expert for sending this to me.
