HP-23 AC Power Supply ----------------------- The Heathkit HP-23 is designed to provide operating voltages for Heathkit mobile amateur radio equipment in fixed station or portable use. The versatility and many features of this power supply also make it ideal for use with many other types of amateur radio equipment. The power supply features a high voltage source, a choice of two low voltage sources, fixed 130 volts bias or adjustable bias, extensive filtering, and good regulation. The power transformer uses a center-tapped filament winding for 6 or 12 volt filament operation. A series OFF-ON switch is provided in the fused primary circuit to permit turning the power supply on or off remotely from the equipment with which it is used. All voltage connections are made through an 11-pin plug. This plug provides an easy means of rapidly changing the equipment from mobile to fixed station operation.
