Hi Drew,

I have one of these... probably a similar sort of thing 
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=346013#spec

I intended for use with my two 817s but have not had the real opportunity to 
test it yet...It will certain run them for a while...I have a suspicion that 
it may generate some RF noise in the near field - also not yet fully 
evaluated
