I am doing a HAM course right now and spoke with the instructor. He confirmed that certain reducers can have a square wave pattern on the out put which would affect the HAM radio.
Is this true? If so, which voltage reducer can people recommend. I am thinking one which can handle a constant 20 amps will be enough.
A good 24 to 12 converter will be pricey. I have one that retails for $700. I bought it used on ebay for 100 something.

Try these guys.

24 volt to 12 volt DC/DC converters (fully regulated) from 100 to 700 Watts non-isolated and isolated.
