Hi Gary,
Yep, one example W9RE and I use is a guy near him that had the wrong Wall
Wart plugged into a device and he said it was very hot. The homeowner was
very happy that we found this problem for him.
We tell other homeowners about that case as an example of possible safety
issues.
Thanks,
Don wd8dsb
