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