If you are looking for a throw away 12 - 13.5 VDC 29 A switching power supply check out Lightobject.com in Elk Grove CA, Only $45. I bought a couple, they are RFI quiet and while no meters, it does have a fan, hi. Works my 857, FB.

While I was looking at that, I looked at their power supplies. The SPS-30DM looked interesting, so I ordered one. Ordered Tuesday afternoon, and I received the shipping notice and UPS tracking number the same day. Today it arrived. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I have to give Powerwerx credit for fast delivery! Of course they're located less than 50 miles from here; even closer than HRO. I was surprised at how small it is! It comes in at 6" x 5" x 2-1/2" and weighs only 3.7 pounds. Certainly, it's smaller and lighter-weight than my Astron RS-35M. Rating is 25 A continuous and it has front-panel meters for monitoring voltage and current. Also conveniently located on the front panel is a switch for a continuous supply voltage of 14.1 or variable from 5-16 volts. This p/s should be ideal, not only for powering the new K3 but also for charging the NiMH batteries for the KX3. 7273 de Jim - AD6CW On 5/6/2012 7:42 AM, Phil Hystad wrote: > I have one SAMLEX and three Astron power supplies and they have operated > perfectly since they day I bought them.
