Dave - can you enlighten me on the filter values both on the X and Y caps and inductance AC side and filtering on the DC?  I have about 5 bricks here; some I picked up in a market in Beijing (Beijing Lu akin to the old Lyle st in london (dont think you spell it like that - that dates me)) - Ive taken a couple apart and I have some that are 2 wire AC and some 3 wire - all appear to have pretty good filtering and various screening materials even the Chinese cheapies. Any values to knock off 137 especially welcome - of course each psu has a slightly different osc/pulse freq - some at 60 some at 300Khz! The opto isolator really helped the AK rx with good/reasonable signals from Japan every nite so far...
 
Im running out of good Oklahoman LF projects!

In my remote station I put the Dell brick in an Eddy box (die-cast box) with a proper mains filter on the input and chokes and feed-through capacitors in the DC output lead. Drilled some holes for ventilation. Quiet as a mouse.
A linear PSU should also be fine but quite large.
The RS232 is unbalanced of course, but if you run it in screened cable and use a ferrite common-mode choke dies it not help?

Anyone done any common mode noise mitigation from the RS232 port of the R75 Rx> - the noise coming up from the SMPSU/processor from the old Dell puter - cable is double screened - choking off using J (75) type has seen little improvement - this is my last hurdle to unimpeded remote rx on 137 - any pointers appreciated - everythings bonded and Ive tried the on/off earth tricks at various locations -
 
Anyone had any success of powering a Dell D series from a non standard non switched PSU? (the noise goes away when the DC from the Black Dell brick is removed but it may also be partially screen/processor noise...)
 
with thanks
