Astron SS-30 or a Samlex SEC-1235M for a bit less money I have 2 of them one a 1223 and the 1235 both have running 24/7 for going on 7 yrs. QST voted the 1223 a best buy a year or so ago for performance vs. price both good supplies'
I know a little about the heat factor I have (2) Astron 70 amp supplies a RM and a VS on all the time plus an Astron RS-12A along with 3 switchers. Problem is each is needed for the job it's doing these supplies run from 2 yrs old (bought new) to 30 yrs old bought used. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser #'s 6730/5299--KX3 # 2573--K2/100--KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Peter Chamalian Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 8:18 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Power Supplies for K3 I have a big Astron 50A power supply to run my K3, P3 and other small items. Problem is this big brute generates a ton of heat. I'm considering a replacement - perhaps a switching supply and would be interested in knowing what others are using successfully. I'm not looking for cheap, I'm looking for good, rock solid and no noise or other "crud" that might otherwise impact my K3. Thanks!
