I have a new pacemaker and need help on where to put the linear power supply, or do I change to a switching power supply? And how far away from the transceiver should I place the power supply? |

I would think the linear power supply would be cleaner than a switching power supply. I really don't think you'll have any problems from the power supply. I would be more concerned with rf in the shack from your transmitter(s) affecting the pacemaker. |

Have your cardio Doc contact the pace maker manufacturer, and arrange a meet for you and a field rep at the hospital or ??. I declined getting a pace maker for a couple years, simply because I use both stick and wire welders which generate LOTS of noise and magnetic fields. My cardio Doc finally arranged a consultation with a field rep at the hospital, and all my "issues" were addressed in 5 minutes. I've had my unit for 5 years now with essentially no limitations for either hobby. |
