Well in the shack I use a HB linear supply using biggest parts I could scrounge. Just to see what it could do I went keydown on 3 100 watt rigs and it sagged 1/2 volt. If I am portable I use either a Powerwerx 30 amp switcher or an MFJ 25 amp switcher. Rigs can't tell the difference. In the shack I prefer to run everything off of 1 supply so everything has same ground and V+ levels.
