Amiko mini HD265 vendors?

[RidgeRunner]

My Amiko that I've had for many years will power on and cycle off. I fear its time for a new one. The last guy I purchased this from pre-programmed it with the music channels on 101. Is there anyone out here selling these that offers this as an option?

Might just be the power supply. I had to replace mine at one point.

I would say the same thing. Too low a voltage or insufficient current source could cause that symptom. Worth trying another wall wart or power supply if you have one.

PM KE4EST he may still have a power supply for this item. He used to sell them

Yep, had it happen to me before. New PS and no issue any longer. Worth a shot!

Especially if using the receiver to drive a motor. I think mine was replaced with a 3 amp power supply.

I have a working Amico mini HD265 that uses a Li Shin LSE9901B1250 power supply. I did a quick search and it looks like they are available should you decide to go that route.

I did grab another power supply withe same specs and that did not fix the problem.

The same specs as the one they shipped with the unit, or the specs in TRG's link? Because many of the Amiko's shipped with power supplies that weren't "beefy" enough.

Good point. I bought mine from KE4EST. If I remember correctly the power supply was shipped outside of the receiver box. It wouldn't have fit in the Amico box. So I'm assuming the one I got was an upgraded "beefier" version from K4EST.

Correct.

Its a 12 volt power supply rated at 3 amps. This does not appear to be the issue. I used a bench top power supply that is rated for a high enough current and the issue still persists.

That's too bad. To get back to your original question. I don't think there are any vendors around anymore that offer a pre-programming service. The last receiver I bought that was pre-programmed was from Mike Kohl. And that was a long time ago. Is there a reason why you cant program the music channels yourself?

Not to mention it's VERY easy to program music channels on an Amiko.

Casey Hyper Casey still sells brand new Amikos. He's a trusted member here and I've bought from him before.

He might not be able to do that if its in a power cycle loop.

True.. hopefully he already has a saved backup.

Maybe Casey would program the music channels for him. It wouldn't hurt to ask.

Or any other member here who has the channels programmed in their Amiko could share their channel list file with him.
